@Machete Lover I played L4D2 recently with this addon so I know it still works, the 5 stars from other users also proves that. The only other causes I could think of may include:

- animation conflicts
- xdr animations that edit the same sequences of Ellis
- your Ellis survivor mod may be using a different set of survivor animations (like Bill's or Nick's)

Bro i have the xdR.

@Machete Lover maybe you missed this part

Requires xdR:

Doesn't work for me.

I get that they probably made him one hand it to add to his goofy redneck nature, but this mod makes just as much sense given he pretty much grew up learning how to shoot guns, so it would make sense he know how to properly hold a pistol.

@I-キアナ_ハクフ-I whether the characters are modded or not, it will work. This mod edits animations only so its compatible with model replacers

Is this mod work on default character not a mod character right?

@Xazced that was pointed out before too, believe me I tried fixing it, unfortunately that's the best I can do for now.

@Captain Jameson No, I didn't mean the turn speed, I meant that your turning animation itself is somewhat broken; Ellis will look and shoot to the right or left of where the crosshair is pointing and needs a moment to properly readjust himself if you aren't moving the camera.

It's kind of hard to explain, the best way to see what I mean is to load into a game with this animation and to fire a pistol in third person while slowly swaying the camera, you'll see that the animation isn't correctly aligned.

I hope you understand.

@Xazced adjusting that is beyond the scope of this addon so I suggest this workshop addon instead, you can use animation mods together with this one so they will work well with each other:

you're welcome

Could you fix the turning animation? It needs a second to adjust before you face where the crosshair actually is.

@Zack I know its late but yeah I confirmed what you mentioned about Rochelle. I guess I can make changes sometime when I can and remember how to

thank you.

@Captain Jameson I'm just now seeing that all this time later. Thanks!

@toby270GT yes yes it does:

"Like the previous xdReanims addons I made, this addon is fully compatible with custom suvivors that use Ellis' animation set."

does it work with custom models? that change the hitbox or height of the character

Rochelle has her own set of pistol animations, as of TLS.
Before she was just using Bill's pistol animations.(Even Pre-TLS tho, the pistol animation still had bugs.)

@Miles I remembered you requested Ellis to have different Rifle animations. Rise made one recently, you could use this mod instead if you want Ellis to have better Assault Rifle animations, I also personally use it as well so I would recommend it too

@Zack♠ as far as I know, I think Rochelle's single pistol animations were originally based from Bill's so I don't see a need to do that

I'd be interested in this for Rochelle as well.
Just for Single Pistols.
But I do like her injured pistol animations, along with her idle_calm with them.

@Miles maybe I will, will see about it.
@Penetra ANOS 7000 Rochelle's single pistol animations were already based from Bill's, unless you're referring to the Dual Pistols animations she has (which I also think look kinda weird)

Have you thought about changing Ellis' rifle animations? Not saying you have to I just wanted to ask.

@PENETRA ANOS 7000 I'm with this guy, Rochelle's pistol animation seem akward rather than her older animations

for rochelle please

it is. l4d2 modding am i right

@Lebo hmm yeah it is weird, the shotgun anims are fixed but not the pistol ones, considering that aiming up and down with a pistol works fine, it is odd.

yeah i used it before as well. i turned it off as it added dynamicness to the survivors. even survivor legs has worldmodel turnrate. but yeah if i had that on before it'd look the same. what i said before about the turn thing. it effected the shotgun stuff when you first released it then it was fixed. im guessing you didnt notice that either?

@Lebo about the turn animation I'll look into it sometime, I use instant worldmodel turnrate so I just thought it was normal

haha thats funny

@kk_leek, dude you know that this is originally Bill's animation right?

fix the turn animation here the survivor looks left and right. they can only look straight

please make this for nick and bill

AWsome

@ketor With the way how things work in this game, The Magnum and Pistol share the same third person animations so I can't do much about that even if I wanted

Well Ellis is... you know Ellis, it would be cool if he held the two pistols differently but I'm pretty sure the Magnum and single pistol share the same code.

I think Zoey got the coolest pistols animation of them all she's quite tactical like Bill does.

cool animation.

Finally survivors gonna use the damn pistol like normal people!

@OwO I always loved pump shotguns, make me sad to let them go, especially with the improved animation mods (including Rise's shotgun animations for Francis and Coach)

yea ngl, u leaving the calm animation of him having his gun up actually makes him look cooler when he starts pointing the gun foward ngl

also thanks to the pump shotgun fix mod i now cannot stop using pump shotguns, just because of how cool the recoil on third person looks, it feels like he's shooting a actuall shotgun and almost slipping the gun off his hands

@binary @OwO Right? I waited YEARS for someone to do something like this. Fortunately there's a way now.

@binary yeah I had that thought too, but I did leave his calm idle animations and left his dual pistol animations alone so there's still Ellis originals left

i really like this, even if it may break his character a little bit (at least its not his wrist)

hell yes, it's about time ellis start holding the pistols right

It's all about the finger strength, baby.
