Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.20.7, 1.20.8 - 1.20.10 and 1.20.11 - 1.20.12, outdated):
CombatOverhaulRelaxedIdle.zip  1-click install

Requires: Combat Overhaul and Combat Overhaul: Armory

Compatible with Combat Overhaul: Reanimated

License: MIT License

Combat Overhaul has seperate idle and ready animations or poses for each of it's weapon catagories. Unfortunatly the included idle poses are almost identical to the ready poses. This means your character will be walking around with their weapon held out in front of them at all times.

This mod changes the idle poses to rest the weapons on your shoulder, much more comfortable for long marches, exploration, or just standing around!

Weapon types affected:

  • Clubs
  • Great swords
  • Javlins
  • Long axes
  • Long swords
  • Maces
  • Pikes
  • Sabres
  • Short swords

 

This is my first mod. Please let me know if there are any issues and, if you know, how I can fix them! I didn't change the spear since I don't know how to make the mod affect them. It should work in 1.20.7-1.20.12 but I have only tested it in 1.20.10

Sorry I haven't come back here in a long while. I got burnt out and haven't played the game in a while, but I do want to come back eventually. In full honesty, I'm not a competent modder and I've completely forgotten how VS mods work so I'd have to relearn before I can make an update, change dependencies, or anything. I probably won't be doing that until I actually return to the game. That might not be for a good while as I've been busy with a lot of other things and am still burnt out. :(

If anyone wants to take this mod and update it, change it, or integrate it into their own mod themselves, you have my blessing! All I'd ask is that you link back to this mod page in your description somewhere.

Is it possible to permit this mod to be dependent upon https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/48302 ? 

Just with Maltiez I think not updating mods anymore, I believe this might be the replacement for a while.

CO dev is looking for new animations maybe you could merge your mod with his

Sorry it's been so long. Things have been busy for the past few months so I'm not sure when I'll get around to updating the mod.

Sorry I haven't replyed sooner. I honestly forgot to check in on here. Happy to see so many people are enjoying the mod!
To answer questions:

I made this mod with Combat Overhaul Reanimated in mind but forgot to mention it in the description! I have been playing with them both since I uploaded this and have had no issues.

I have yet to install 1.21 as my friend's server I play on is running 1.20.10. and we're using other mods that haven't yet been updated. I'll have to install a second instance of the game, so I don't mess up my current install, to test the mod in the latest version. I should have time to check it out and fix any issues within a few weeks.
