Formations_Animations

This file contains only the edited and new Animations from my "Formations" mod


Orignal Mod: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3560112392


Info:
I wanted to keep the new animations name as original so the game use them without edditing further files BUT!
Due to some weird data reading mechanics of the game, modded animations work only if renamed to something else as original animations data files. That means I had to add new named animations in DB as well. Aditional DB animations tables for new animations, culture use animations tables and that means edditing land_units_table so the units use them propperly, which sadly means not compatible with any other mods that edit those specific files. If someone knows how to do that, so the game reads mod animations files even if they have original names please let me know!!!! It would make such Animation mod much more flexible and more compatible with other mods.
