CLASSIC BUG - Magic Axes have wrong attacks [RESOLVED]

Hi,

after some testing it all boils down to this:

Magic axes (WEAPO108.CIF) are bugged in vanilla.

Get any magic axe, use vanila files, and its attacks are bugged...

The attacks are named wrong in the game.

Upon further investigation its like this:

NON MAGIC axe attack frames according to DFImaging
1st - static
2nd - top to bottom
3rd - top right to bottom left
4th - right to left
5th - left to right
6th - top left to bottom right
7th - direct

MAGIC axe
1st - static
2nd - top to bottom
3rd - top right to bottom left
4rd - top left to bottom right (should be right to left)
5th - right to left (should be left to right)
6th - left to right (should be top left to bottom right)
7th - direct

So yes, these 3 attack in red are wrong in the magic weapons!

And indeed, in vanilla, this daedric MAGIC axe is having very confused attacks!

PS: Ive checked the rest of the magic weapons and the axe is THE ONLY ONE having this issue

I use "texture type: default"
It's fine, you can also try UI.

Which frame is the one visible in the screenshot? I can't find anything like that, unless the texture is also cut...

I guess this attack type is created by "mouse to the left" movement.
The frame is most likely
WEAPO108.CIF_3-4_Daedric.png

Yes its cut. But the left cut should fit to the left border of the monitor.
It should look like the axe is out of field of view of the monitor.

What is happening here is the aspect ratio of this frame is not the same as monitor.
Seems like its 5:4 for this frame.

is this clarification sufficient?

Just adding for TheLacus that some weapon images need to be stretched across the screen, while others don't. The WeaponBasics array has the scaling requirements for weapon animations per frame.

Just a guess, but it seems possible the modded image isn't observing the scaling requirement for some reason.

It seems there is actually a texture mismatch.

Can you check if this is the issue? Thank you!

You are right :( I have no idea how to correct that
Seems like the whole set of attack is named in a wrong manner.

Beyond frustrating. Thanks for finding the cause tho!!

But what now...

ye it seems I need to change archive

5 > 3
3 > 4
4 > 5

PS: nah, this is wrong as well :X eventho it matches vanilla 100%

BREAKTRU!!

THIS IS A VANILLA BUG ACTUALLY! Get this axe, use vanila files, and its attacks are bugged as well


Now what?

The attacks are named wrong. it seems its ONLY the magic version of the axe..

Upon further investigation its like this:

NON MAGIC axe attack frames according to DFImaging
1st - static
2nd - top to bottom
3rd - top right to bottom left
4th - right to left
5th - left to right
6th - top left to bottom right
7th - direct

MAGIC axe

1st - static
2nd - top to bottom
3rd - top right to bottom left
4rd - top left to bottom right (should be right to left)
5th - right to left (should be left to right)
6th - left to right (should be top left to bottom right)
7th - direct

So yes, these 3 attack in red are wrong in the magic weapons!

And indeed, in vanilla, this daedric MAGIC axe is having very confused attacks!
So this is the reason I believe :)

PS: Ive checked the rest of the magic weapons and the axe is THE ONLY ONE having this issue. Thanks god..
This is the bug I believe nobody really noticed until now? Good job to both of us Id say...

Glad the cause was found. If you are still confident there is an issue with classic animation, i can change title of this topic (unless you prefer to make a new one) so someone more involved with weapons can give a look. :)
