guardfix 1.0.69 – 1.0.72

All of this is client-side and optional. Each fix applies only if the mod it targets is installed, and none of it changes guard, parry or shield behaviour.

Fixed

• Greatsword idle pose lost after attacks and skills (Epic Fight Extra). After attacking or using a skill with any epicfight:greatsword weapon, the character went back to the plain biped/living/idle instead of the greatsword's two-hand idle. The right pose only returned once you walked, ran or jumped.

  • Cause: Extra's greatsword hold pose is a SelectiveAnimation that plays an arms-only layer over the default idle. When the attack ends, Epic Fight starts the hold pose correctly. About two ticks later, the pose's own check starts it a second time while it is still blending in. That leaves nothing queued next, so Layer.update() switches the layer off.
  • Fix: guardfix now catches that moment and restarts the hold pose instead of letting the layer switch off.
  • Safety net (1.0.69): if the pose is still off once you are back in ordinary living motion, it is replayed. It never acts during dodges, sprint animations, skills or hit reactions.
  • Scope: other Extra holds (one-hand, dual-wield, etc.) are plain animations and were not affected.

• Super Golem walks with an idle↔walk flicker (Epic Fight – Super Golem). The golem's walk/idle switch used a single high threshold (walkAnimation.speed() > 0.2), compared with Epic Fight's own iron golem at 0.01. The smoothed speed drops under it whenever the golem pauses for a few ticks (path recalculation, goal switch). Every flip started a new blend, which looked like flicker.

  • Fix: a golem that is already walking now only returns to idle below a much lower stop speed (default 0.03).
  • Unchanged: starting to walk still needs the mod's own 0.2.

New config options (guardfix-common.toml)

• restoreCompositeHoldAfterAction (default true): the greatsword hold-pose fixes above.
• superGolemWalkHysteresis (default true): turns the Super Golem fix on or off.
• superGolemWalkStopSpeed (default 0.03, range 0–0.2): the walk→idle threshold. Raise it if a golem keeps walking in place after stopping. Lower it if it still flickers.
• animatorTraceLogging (default false): a diagnostic switch, see below.

For bug reports

• animatorTraceLogging writes guardfix-animtrace.log in the instance folder (local player only, no effect on behaviour). It logs every animation layer switch-off and replay with the calling code, plus state snapshots. Turn it on, reproduce once, turn it off, and attach the file.

Notes

• The fixes only apply when Epic Fight Extra or Super Golem is installed, so they do nothing otherwise.
• Existing config files keep their current values. New defaults only appear in newly generated files, so add or edit the keys by hand if you want them.
