Oh wow I feel dumb now. Thanks for the help!

No idea, it's probably something done by the FBX exporter. Or perhaps you already imported the animations at a different time and Unreal is linking them up automatically?

Well my question is more as to how the blender tools store the animations when they import them all, because however you did it seems to be the proper way, and I'd really like to know how.

I recently got Unreal 4, and I was playing around with porting stuff from source games to Unreal. I noticed that if I decompile with Crowbar, and then import the qc that it creates, the Blender Source Tools somehow import all the animations and have them available for selection when you go to the Properties section. However, when I export to FBX to get it into Unreal, every single animation is there perfectly preserved! I have been doing extensive searching and testing of my own to see if I could figure out how to do this on my own, but I had no such success, and that is why I am asking here.

tl:dr Blender source tools imports all animations if they are stated in a qc file, and somehow its way of doing this is preserved into other file formats and I really want to know how.

(Sorry if this is not the place I should be asking this, but people in the blender community forums might not know what I'm talking about.)

That looks really messed up. Which version of Blender are you using? Did you install the addon through Blender or by manually unzipping?

Check the console, it will probably be flooded with errors.

It started working after restarting my computer. This is probably the strangest issue I've seen, but it's gone now.

I used to just outright crash when trying to export a specific model, and then I found out I hadn't updated for a while. However, I am now having an even stranger issue: I get an error that seems to contradict itself, and the interface seems to be a bit different than what I am used to.
