I been playing around with this weapon and I think it' great! However the visual effects of taking damage every time you hit is irritating and there is no way of taking damage without triggering the hurt animation.
This mod delays the time for taking the damage thus improving the visuals by allowing the attack animation to finish first then apply the damage. Another key aspect is that you may skip damage animation right into the idle animation making for a smoother flow.
The attached contain 3 files for this mod to work.
1. "Spear03.itm" The Backbiter item.
2. "Spear03.spl" A custom spell to trigger the delayed damage.
3. "Spearex.pro" The modified animation for the exploding javelin which is not in use. Used for timing the delay.
Updated:
The previous method causes bugs. The new approach uses disease to cause the damage and the timing is close to perfect and now is only a single file "Spear03.itm". It's not as smooth as I would prefer because the damage tic is somewhat random but overall is very much an improvement over vanilla.
