The ODF code hadnt ever been used, but with psych0freds sight info i got it working with the knife weapon (which uses upper jab from Emperors 1st attack and L5R's knife model)

Just in case anyone wants to know how it works,

Working Example:
CustomAnimationBank = "knife pistol"

Syntax:
CustomAnimationBank="[<character>_]<weapon> <parent> [alert|noalert]"

[]'s indicate something that isnt needed. So having "whatevername_knife" or specifying alert or noalert are just options.
"knife" is a your new anim set (just like "pistol" or "rifle") except it only uses the new anims. For example, mine only has 2 - knife_crouch_shoot and knife_stand_shoot
The second part "pistol" indicates the parent anim set, so everything my knife anim set is missing it will get from the pistol animations.

Heres the ANIMS file my recon unit that uses the knife has
Code:
ucft
{
ANIM
{
"whatevername_knife_crouch_shoot"
"whatevername_knife_stand_shoot"
}
}


Also remember that since its a new anim set, youll need to make sure the unit that has the weapon with the new animations also has AnimationName = "whatever-name-you-named-your-new-anim-set" in there ODF
