Thank you all for the massive support, while I didn't end up completely finishing this mod, it's been finished to a point that I can accept as satisfactory.
This project caused a lot stress for me, and I don't think I'll ever return to this one in particular.
I've been considering making a new pack that is a lot more simpler while also having the neat little quirks the original had, while being a lot more respecting to TF2's original animation style.
If y'all are wondering what I've been up to, I've been working on an overhaul mod for Contractors VR that basically turns it into TF2 VR.
Again, thank you all for the support and compliments! In due time if I feel like it, I'll release the original sources for the mod (blend files, raw qc files, etc).
Have a good day and enjoy the mod :]
The only thing missing is no all-class melee animations, and no sword inspect animations. Otherwise, the rest is custom!
