I'm wondering if the standard animations for aiming guns can be swapped out for the ones the police use. I can't stand having to always go into fine aim to fire weapons properly, and it's even more annoying to crouch so you fire off shotguns from the shoulder. Like this for example, if you don't get what I mean.  and this

They sure can be. I'm not going to mess with it, but if you play with the animation files in the game you can pull animations from the pol1.xtbl file (police animations) and put them in the corresponding slots in gml1.xtbl (MC's animations.) This change wouldn't be clientside only though, as it modifies the base game's animation set, which means it wouldn't be compatible with other people online unless they were using the same mod.
You would want to copy the pistol holding, running, firing animations to the gml1.xtbl, maybe even the shotgun and rifle poses if they exist.

WRONG WRONG WRONG AND MORE WRONG
I love the cops anims so I've already done this. Find the StyletestPC_pre.xtbl and change the anim set to CML1
The downsides are you have to be exactly in the center of the wardrobe light cone, and when you open doors, you dont do the anim. The door just swings open.
And this way, you dont see people in the streets using the police anims. Its not POL1.xtbl btw.

OKAY it's not pol1.xtbl. Still, to do a wholesale animation copy like that may not be what he's looking for. It'll work, sure, but not for everything.

Ok so I got the file recomposed, but my game crashes when the menu opens. I'm going to try to play around and fix it.

Check to see if you didn't accidentally delete an important punctuation mark ( , . >
If you did, the file no longer flows and is broken, as it has no way of knowing how to proceed. If necessary, try redoing the changes. It can be super hard to find where you messed up, and such marks and other important little things can be overwritten by a simple copy.
One time, while making the nighttime mod, I pasted and changed *tons* of different values! And when I was done, strangely enough all the weather types looked the same in game. They were all *exactly* the same - why? Because I broke the file, the game couldn't read any of it, so it just supplied constant values for everything. Which results in a file that, no matter how many times you make changes, you'll never see a difference in game because it's been made invalid.
I'm not saying that's your problem, but it's an easy mistake to make and *lots* of different things you can do in the code can cause it to crash or stop loading.
I don't know how much you know on the subject, but assuming the files are like English, if you write several sentences and never put any punctuation, it's hard to tell where one begins and the other ends, which is where the computer has trouble. I spent a whole day wasting time trying to figure out what I did wrong. lol

Well hearing that just made me realize that I'm doing this 200% wrong! I'm a little lost now, I should do my research.

I helped one of my friends get started on modding and saved the chat transcript. This might give you more insight into where you went off track: finalack.com/Idol/How_to_mod_SR2_chat_tr...
