have a problem with city hoplites anims [as used in my stw mod]?

hi, i got this problem, i think it may be to do with the anims, but the city hoplites model i am using for my sparta mod show two spears. i had temporarily removed the problem by editing the transparency and removing the spears in the skin. this is ok for screenshots but not for gameplay as the unit gets confused as to what spear to use. if i remove the spears by transparency it holds the spears upwards, if i don’t i get two spears?

i presume you have a way to stop this but i cannot work it out, at present the units are using the skeleton; fs_semi_fast_spearman, fs_slow_swordsman

is that ok, i noticed that you use a different sword skeleton, maybe that is the problem?

any help gratefully received!
