Swords for ferguson rifles

[Crux2]

I've been working on this for a while but I've hit a brick wall and its 2 in the morning.

I've been tinkering with the ferguson riflemen unit and I've done almost everything I want except getting them to use swords. I had them using swords at one point but they stopped screw-loading the rifles and started muzzle loading them.

I think I need to create a custom entry for the animation table but despite reading a few forum threads I cant wrap my head round what to do. I tried making custom fragments in the pack manager tool thing, but I'm not used to using it and I cant figure out how to add new entries, only modify the existing ones.

To put it simply I'm stuck - anyone have any idea how to get screw-loading riflemen to use swords in close combat?

Failing that I'd happily settle for bayonets on the screw-rifles if thats at all possible.

you will probably need to create new entry in warscape_equipment_themes ( primary weapon rifle and secondary sabre or sword) and change unit stats in unit_stats_land (animation and melee weapon). Create little mod and then you can edit it all in DB editor

Why would you want them to use swords? The real Ferguson rifles had a Bayonet.

This is eaaaaaasyyy. Use DBE editor, open up Unit_stats_land, go to melee weapon and put in sword.
