Character Animations

Animates the character. Resembles playeranim and headanim.

Features

Animates head, right arm & body
Also provides support for arbitrary player models, as long as Head, Arm_Right & Body bones exist
Advantages over playeranim:
Extracts exact animations and bone positions from b3d models at runtime (no complex installation)
Also animates attached players (with restrictions on angles)
Advantages over headanim:
Provides compatibility back until Minetest 0.4.x (as opposed to headanim supporting only 5.3+)
Head angles are clamped, head can tilt sideways
Animates right arm & body as well

API

Minetest's player:set_bone_position is overridden so that it still works as expected.

`character_anim.set_bone_override(player, bonename, position, rotation)`

The signature resembles that of set_bone_position. bonename must be a string. The following additional features are provided:

Using it like set_bone_position by setting rotation and position to non-nil values and using "" to set the root bone
Setting only the bone position by setting rotation to nil - bone rotation will then be model-animation-determined
Setting only the bone rotation by setting position to nil - bone position will then be model-animation-determined
Clearing the override by setting both rotation and position to nil ("unset_bone_position")

Must have

This goes onto every single world I play on. The normal character looks so boring and lifeless without it. I highly recommend to give this a go. From all the animation mods I've tested, this seems to be the one with the most features.
