Disciplined State Troops (Orderly animations for empire state troops)

Description
"Settle down men! We are soldiers of the empire, not an unruly rabble of norsican savages!"

Purpose:
The standard animation for state troops was too rowdy for my tastes. This mod changes the selected animations (melee) or spacing (ranged) for all state troops and their assoiciated RoR's to a more disciplined option. Now they still move slightly/feel alive, but no longer break formation to jeer!

Animation changes:
-Spearmen
-Spearmen (Shields)
-Eldred's Guard
-Swordsmen
-Swords of Ulric
-Sigmar's Sons
-Halbardiers
-Nordland Mariners
-Greatswords
-Carroburg Greatswords

Spacing changes:
-Crossbowmen
-Stir River Patrol
-Handgunners
-Gunderson's Surefires
-Silver Bullets

Misc:
This mod is pretty simple (and represents my first foray into modding), but let me know if anything is buggy or weird.

Confirmed Compatibility:
-Reloading Mod
-Brutal Battles 2
-No More Stupid Animations
-Formations

Submods:
-Battle Standard Bearers - Disciplined State Troops Submod (Makes the two compatible)

Known Issues:
-"Klaus is acting a little strange..." (I only noticed this about a week after releasing the mod. If you look very closely at an individual melee combat for awhile, you might see a state trooper make a weird motion with their head that belies which unit animation set I used for the melee troops to make this mod work; tomb guard. Unfortunately there's no real way to fix this without making an entirely different kind of mod, but it seems to be a pretty rare animation and isn't very noticeable in the first place).

Thanks and Credit:

@DerRitter I'll take a look, but I've never noticed this issue anywhere and am not sure what could cause it... I've never seen "partial" T-posing before, its always been all or nothing

I am using alot of mods, lol. But your "Disciplined X" mods are the only ones modifying animations in my list.

@DerRitter Thats wierd- are you using any other mods?

I have been getting T-posing models is some battles today. I have seen it with Empire Spearmen and Dreadspears that were fleeing.

@ShermanM4A1 I did a couple days ago already- it's on the TWWIII workshop

Can you create the same mods for TWW3 ?

@Lion Sin If I understand correctly, your running into the issue where animations can only be given to units with identical skeletons (I.E, you can give a state trooper the same animation as a peasant bowman). However, for SOME REASON, elves have different skeletons from Human models. I don't know WHY- but that has caused me a lot of annoyance as well. I'm not sure how to solve the problem without messing with unit skeletons... which is possible but I have no idea how to do it :/

Is this for state troops?

i went to the culture to battle animation tables, find the animation i want and paste it to the battlle animation table column, then made the culture pack column into "wh2_main_hef_high_elves" to set the foreign animation for the high elf faction so that it would work, the same way as how you did it by making specific tomb kings animation set to the culture pack of the empire, then after that I just proceeded to the land unit table and copy and paste the "hu1_bretonnian_hr1_pegasus_lancer" to the man animation column, after that i went to custom battle and test it, but f, the problem still persist, the unit stilll look glitchy and a mess, so my concern is what am I doing wrong? hahaha how do I solve this problem?

So i searched the workshop for similar mods who edited the animation of certain units by copy and pasting it from different factions, and one of those mods that ive foound is this, the discipline state troops your mod, so i based the solution to my problem to this mod, i did the exact same thing written in your mod to the unit mod that im creating.
