Chganging Unit Weapon Animations?

[bungus]

Is there a way to change a units weapon animation via txt files? Like swap out a halberd for a billhook? Or does that require screwing around with meshes and that nonsense?

I thought I heard someone doing something like this for a pole arm mod, buit I can't find anything about it now.

You'd have to "screw around with meshes and that nonsense."

It's actually not that hard to do. There's a tutorial for it somewhere, too....

Actually you can change animations by going into the modeldb file and at the bottom of whatever unit entry you want to change, it specifies the folder animations for the unit and the weapon they use. Changing that will change the animation.
