[solved ]Cavalry Won't sit in saddle

[smoesville]

Turns out it was a glitch with reflections being on

I posted this in the models tread aswell but i thought it might be more on the text side of it so i thought i'd post it here since there might (hopefully) be some genius out there that knows the answer but only hangs around the text treads

Basically the new cavalry i've added don't sit in the saddle, they jump around. I was informed it was an animation problem (in the BMDB hence my reason for posting here ) but even the unit i have that is a clone of an existing unit has the problem. The first unit below (teaghlach) has an added complication in that i couldn't copy/paste the animations directly because there isn't any cavalry that uses javelins and spears. The other unit is just a standard lance/shield and sword/shield combo. Any ideas?

The animations look right. But also 'jump around' isn't something I'd expect from wrong anims. I don't know what the issue may be but I'd guess it might be something to do with the skeleton in the model. I've never modded one of these so I can't be much help, but I guess checking the bone labels to make sure they're the same as vanilla models can't hurt.

Hopefully someone knows more about modelling and can give the correct terms if I have them wrong ('bone labels').

I wouldn't be surprised if i'd messed something up in the model
