Sometimes you want to edit one or just a few animations of a model which has a lot of animations.
For example when i fixed Zoey's "The Passing" outro animation. I would have needed to recompile a ton of animations, which was too bothersome.

So i found a way to do it without a hassle.

First of all, you need to copy the original model that has the animations you want and rename it. If it also has an ani file, rename that one too. Animations are shared across both files.


Then you need to decompile the original model and use the "declaresequence" option in crowbar


You will get a declaresequence qci file. This file will tell the compiler "use every declared animation of the $includemodel in the order they are listed


Then open the declaresequence qci file and find the sequence you want to replace. In my case "use_ammopack".


Comment out the $declaresequence line of the animation you want to replace, then add a $sequence underneath the commented out declaresequence so you can compile your own new $sequence.
This will load all animations of the includemodel, except the one you commented out and add your own animation, then continue using the original animations.


Then simply add the $includemodel line of the renamed original model (only mdl if you got mdl and ani) along with an $include line for the declaresequence file to your qc file.
