Angel wings

[temnix]

What is it about the wings item that makes them only compatible with the elven avatars? Can that be edited out somehow? I would like to see winged dwarves, for sure.

The wings are actually an equipped-item animation (a helmet, specifically). Equipped items have to have different animations for each creature type (human/halforc, elf/halfelf, dwarf, gnome/halfling, iirc) because where the equipped item has to appear depends on the creature type. The mod only includes animations for elves. Adapting it to dwarves would require you to make an entirely new set of animations.

(If you used the elf wing animations on a dwarf, for instance, the wings would appear in mid air, because dwarves are shorter than elves.)

What about for other Medium creatures like Humans or Half-Orcs?

[DavidW]

I'd guess the mismatch isn't so egregious but it's still there. (The middle of the back of the elf animation isn't quite in the same place as the human/halforc animation [they share]).

There are 4 sizes:

• L: Human (Male), Halforc (Male)
• N: Human (Female), Halforc (Female)
• M: Elf/Halfelf (same animation)
• S: Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling

It's not just about height though.

Elves have the skinniest body, which the wing animation accounts for, leaving gaps to avoid overlapping it.

The other animations also have various subtle differences, for example, the human male "head turn" proceeds in a different manner than elves, resulting in the wings turning to the left while the body turns to the right.
