ParaClips v1.1.0: a shared animation player for Paralives mods (free)

ParaClips now has its own download, and it's free for everyone.

ParaClips is the animation player behind my Paralives mods. Every mod that animates Paras goes through the same player, so each one can see which Para is busy in a clip, and two mods never fight over the same Para. It's family friendly.

Do you need it?

- On its own it adds nothing to the game. Install it when a mod asks for it.

- ParaWorks (0.4.0 and newer) and Paralove (0.35.0 and newer) already bring their own copy inside their zip, so you don't need this download for them. If you install it anyway, nothing breaks: BepInEx loads only the newest copy.

- ParaAutonomy leaves Paras that are playing a clip alone.

New in 1.1.0:

- Fixed a one-frame jump when some clips start or end.

- Smoother blends into and out of a clip.

For modders:

- Play .clip animations on one or more Paras, with intro, loop and outro clips, live speed and blends. Timeline markers arrive as events, and sfx markers play the game's own sounds.

- Your mod can check whether another mod is animating a Para, so they don't clash.

- You may bundle the unmodified DLL with your mod, or list ParaClips as a requirement, with credit.

- The zip comes with a full modding guide (ParaClips-MODDING.md) and IntelliSense docs (ParaClips.xml).

Safety: ParaClips has no adult content. A mod can mark a clip as adult; then ParaClips refuses to play it on any Para who isn't an adult, and stops it if that changes.

To install, extract the whole zip into the folder with Paralives.exe (BepInEx is included). On Linux or Steam Deck, add WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winhttp=n,b" %command% to the Launch Options.

Download: the zip is attached to this post.
