NFSU2 PartAnimatorulator





PartAnimatorulator is a tool for editing Need for Speed Underground 2's PARTS_ANIMATIONS.BIN files. It's based on AJ_Lethal's and RedCarDriver's research.

# What you can do with this tool:
1. Easily rename Animation slots (With automatic padding, and find&replace function)
2. Change pivot positions
3. Change car xname (with automatic hashing).
4. Edit animation frames (with interpolation for easier usage).

PLEASE NOTE: Since black box decided for some unknown reason to make split hoods (left and right) have rotated pivot, and then compensate that rotation in the animation, please remember to set pivot's rotation to 0 if you are going to make your own animation for the split hoods.

BLENDER ADDON DOCUMENTATION: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1us-0Py6jYLBRM4JHH2kCq9uHrFL05VH5-Re3d8MLHis/edit?usp=sharing






I'd recommend to use LANCEREVO8's animation's file as base for your car mods, since it has longest name and padding.

Q/A
Q: Can I edit angles of animations with this tool?
A: Yes. With latest update you can edit angles of animations. Just open the Animations file, open the slot you want, set first and last frames, click Tools>Interpolate Animslot and done.
Q: There was supposed to be Copy and Delete buttons for AnimSlots. Why they were removed?
A: Previously I thought that simply deleting/copying an anim slot will work, but it turned out that it causes game to crash. Again, to implement it properly it needs more research on how part_animations files work.

Changelog:
1.1.0 - Added support for pivot rotation
1.0.0 - Added Blender support.
0.0.5 - Fixed patterns for frames
0.0.4 - Added Frame editing (thanks to moses for giving redcardriver's research)
0.0.2 - Initial release

Surely this won't be made to replace every single texture in ug2.net with rule34 futa art right?
