About this project

What does Exception Melee Animation (EMA) add?

This mod requires BetterCombat and Exception API Extension as prerequisites, and it only works with compatible gun packs installed. It uses BetterCombat to add third-person melee animation playback for TaCZ melee weapons, keeps those animations aligned with the first-person attack animations as closely as possible, and also syncs them in multiplayer.

本模组需要bettercombat和exception api extension作为前置，并且需要配套指定枪包才能生效，主要是基于bettercombat为tacz近战枪械添加了第三人称下的近战动画调用，并且尽可能与第一人称的攻击动画对齐，多人模式下也可以进行同步。
