Sometimes animations still don't sync, restarting game+server or rerunning Nemesis and syncing the output with your friends can fix it in most cases.

Tested extensively with Skyrim Version 1.6.1170.0 and you can only join servers running this build of STR. It might work with the earlier 1.6+ versions of Skyrim with the correct address library, but it has barely been tested
Tested extensively with Skyrim Version 1.6.1170.0. It might work with the earlier 1.640+ versions of Skyrim with the correct address library, but it has barely been tested
on those older releases.

This version by RFortier and MostExcellent adds these goals:
* Wire protocol compatibility.
* Beast mode (werewolf, vampire lord) support.
* Minimal intrusion in the base code.
* Feature is conditionally compiled. Enabled by a single commit in the history which will show the one(-ish) line to comment out to turn it off. Or, don't include that commit.
* Tries to remove as much of the complexity for modders as possible. To mod a behavior you don't need anything about the behavior variables the Dev team has chosen, nor do you need

to know the old or new hashes that will be generated by your new behaviors; the game calculates them.
That's pretty important because _every_ mod that changes behavior changes the hash, and the order of mods may also change the hash (unless you use Pandora which fixes that evil).
That means a mod author _can't_ know the new hash for the mods a user selects,

# TODO
* Hoping to win support of the Dev team to include this in their build, which will make it easier to stay in sync with the servers.
* In the interim, compiled versions are available on [github](https://github.com/rfortier/TiltedEvolution-rwf/releases), but they will only work with the server that is included.
* Need some help figuring out an xmake change to automatically compile behavior string names when anything changes. For now, manually generated and output files checked in.
# ~~TODO~~
* No longer TODOs, thanks to the dev team for accepting the contribution. It will be much easier to maintain this support now.
* Use of the fork on Github is no longer necessary, animation support is in the official build. I may still publish [compiled versions of the fork](https://github.com/rfortier/TiltedEvolution-rwf/releases) to preview new features and bugfixes. These versions *may* work with the public servers, it depends on how invasive the change is.
