About this project
What does EMF Compat: TACZ add?
EMF Compat: TACZ

A small client-side mod that makes Timeless and Classics Zero gun poses work correctly with Entity Model Features player models.
Tested with Fresh Animations: Player Extension and Detailed Animations but it should work with any player animation resource pack.
Without it, your character keeps playing the resource-pack idle animation while holding a gun — arms swinging as if empty-handed. This addon keeps the gun in your hands where it belongs.
Covered Poses
| Pose | Captured parts |
|---|---|
| Holding a gun | Both arms |
| Aiming down sights | Both arms + head |
| Reloading | Both arms |
The body and legs always stay under EMF's control, so resource-pack walk and idle animations keep playing while you hold a gun.
Features
- Compatible with Fresh Animations: Player Extension.
- Your hands stay on the gun instead of falling back to the resource-pack idle animation.
- Aiming, reloading and shooting poses stay visible in third person.
- The head follows your aim while TACZ animates it, and keeps its resource-pack motion otherwise.
- Works for other players too, so everyone holds their big irons.
enjoy ^_^
