Hey guys,
I was particularly annoyed by the attack animation where the player (while sprinting) performs a knee-breaker to stiff arm on the enemy; I remember always hoping my character would perform a different move, but then get disappointed when he did the one just mentioned. I decided to take a look at some of the files to see if I couldn't just replace it with one of the other moves. Anyways, this may be useful for folks who want to replace any of the sprinting to attack moves.
Basically go and open the melee.xtbl file with notepad or whatever you like to use (found after extracting the misc_tables.srt2_pc file with Gibbed tools).
When you have it open do a search (ctrl f) for "<SyncedMove>Sprint Attack" (I included the first part of the tag cause if you only search for "Sprint Attack" you may end up changing the name of the move, and that wont help with what is trying to be accomplished here).
Here, you can change any of the five front sprinting moves as well as any of the five rear sprinting moves. This is a list of those moves and their corresponding calls:
Sprint Attack A - Clothesline
Sprint Attack B - DDT
Sprint Attack C - Drop Kick
Sprint Attack D - Bronco Buster
Sprint Attack E - Knee Jump Thingy...
Sprint Attack Behind A - Bulldog
Sprint Attack Behind B - Human Surfboard
Sprint Attack Behind C - Climb and Elbow
Sprint Attack Behind D - Jump Over, Turn Around Punch
Sprint Attack Behind E - Two Handed Bulldog and Pose
So all you have to do is check from this list which move you would like to replace, do a search for it in melee.xtbl, and then replace the letter. In my case, I replaced "Sprint Attack E" with "Sprint Attack A"
Remember not to change the "Sprint Attack" that comes after the "<MeleeMove><Name>"
tag as that's gonna mess things up (I believe).
After you are done replacing, save the file to your Saints Row the Third directory (don't worry about the original files, as long as you don't save over them, not that you could without repacking, blah, blah....)
Anyways, I apologize for the wall of text for such a minute change, but I remember lurking around and trying to figure this stuff out just from what was being posted. Oh and if any veterans of this forum would like to correct me in anything I might've said that was wrong or idiotic please do XD I wouldn't want newer guys to have to deal with the same mistakes I did.
