hey all, is there by any chance a database that lists what FX and what MOV are used in different powers? Like Stone Fist uses X MOV with a OneShot Y.FX ? Is there something like this or am I dreaming?
There was once, long ago. Scuzz has the best one now but it makes no attempt to track what models can use what animations.
okay then, onward with my original plans! May all be grateful for my insanity (This'll make more sense later 
)
At one point, I (briefly) began compiling MOV-model associations, but I stopped when I did some quick math and realized that the volume of data would push the codex over the limits of the freebie web account I'm running it on. I admit I also deliberately kept things to a scale I expected to be able to reasonably maintain.
It's not exactly what you're looking for, but I can think of a tool that might help: Circeus's demo analyzer. If I'm remembering correctly, this will, for a single demo, show all the MOVs associated with a given model. I don't recall if it also links MOVs and FXs, but I think it might give you enough timestamp date to extrapolate that.
Like I said, not exactly what you're looking for, and will still require you to parse demos through it to build data, but it might help you start building a list if you haven't found anything better.

There's a better way now - setting your hidden suppressCloseFxDist to a negative number. It's in your registry settings. (For reasons unknown, the Test version reads from your production setting, so you only need to change it in one spot.)
My Demo Launcher will set this for you now. Follow the link in my sig.
