Before I start, I'm going to tell everyone that I have read the documentation, and I have combed the BF2XSI forum here, and I have tried nearly everything.

Okay, so I have a hero in my mod who wields a sort of saber scepter (basically a walking stick with a little lightsaber sticking out the top) and obviously mace's animations won't look nice. So I created one attack animation (this being the first animation that I have attempted to put ingame) and exported it (with the Pandemic addon, I have XSI) and combo-ified it and animationmunged it and munged everything else.

Now, I inserted it into the ATTACK2 state and changed the BlendTimes and Break settings. When I play the game, however, the character goes straight from ATTACK1 to ATTACK2_RECOVER (I'm going by memory on that one). It just totally skips ATTACK2.

It might be a combo problem, but I suspect I did something wrong with the frames in the actual animation in XSI. Is there a limit or do you have to change a framerate setting? My animation is 19 frames.

While there's certainly nothing wrong with setting up the combo at the same time, can you confirm that the animation works at all in SWBF2? If there's a combo error then that's one thing, if it's the animation itself then you're looking at a different problem.

So I should try it on a different combo? I'm afraid I have no idea how I should go about that. What if I left the settings the same but just pasted the name of the animation into the place, like ("stand_attack1a") turns into ("stand_testanim")? BTW, testanim is what I exported it as. The file is "obiwan_sabre_stand_testanim.msh".

Rename your animation to match the name of an animation in an already-existing animationbank. Munge that animationbank and use the corresponding combo with it. Mention if it works or not.

Okay. Why didn't I think of that?

Oh, because you're the admin. Yay!

I'll try it in a minute.

EDIT: I just overwrote the dooku animations and didn't fix the combo and it works great.

Is there a limit of frames that an animation can use? Is it 10 or 20 or is there even one?
