Hello, I'm a 3D artist that wants to mod into the game a circular saw I moded as a scythe, replacing the Augmented Scaevan Magitek Scythe (w2804) since I saw that it already has a chainsaw animation just like other sycthes already have. That could be possible with this plugin? I cant find that animation anywhere right now, so I dont know how to proceed.

It's my first time messing with animations, and I dont know where to start. I can't finde information about weapon idle animations anywhere and I'd like to know if this is the path to follow or if I'm focusing on it completely wrong. It's also my first time posting on github, so I hope I dont get the formatting or tagging wrong. Thanks.

Looks like the path for that weapon's idle animations is chara/weapon/w2804/animation/a0001/wp_common/resident/weapon.pap

And the skeleton is chara/weapon/w2804/skeleton/base/b0001/skl_w2804b0001.sklb

If you want to modify the animation, you might want to use something like XAT (https://github.com/AsgardXIV/XAT) since it lets you export the animation to blender, edit it, and then re-import it
