Remove Katanas on Spear Infantry + Yari Ashigaru fight with Yari (includes FOTS and ROTS)

Description
Greetings, Guv here.

NOT HISTORICALLY ACCURATE. STOP TELLING ME.

This is my first mod on Shogun 2.

This removes the Katanas on Spear infantry, as they will never use them.
And i find it fitting to do that on Yari Ashigaru so i've changed so they use their yari's in combat.

[EDIT 2018-08-19]

I am back with a new update after 3 years of abandonment. I've decided to remove the FOTS variant in favour of having the complete pack here. Here's the new changes:

- removed swords and added yari animations for the Yari FOTS units. Very requested.
- removed swords from yari cavalry units.
- fixed a bug when playing with Monks, crash to desktop (hopefully fixed)

For modders, the packname is "Sengoku_Yari.pack"

Still works nice no sword yari combat.

Sprites? No, they are skeleton meshes. It would conflict with reskins yes

really silly question, units in this game are all sprites right? so this will conflict with mods that change their clothes?

Or just give them a shit looking katana model that looks like it was mass produced.

@Jollyross, its not a terrible way to communicate that the Yari Wall has Broken, and the troops have resorted to their sidearms, but I agree, it looks dumb that they put them on their back,
If CA was clever, they would have given them a mix of Tantos, axes, etc, have them use the bannerman Sword+Flag animation, so they can hold their pike in their offhand to fight with their backup weapon if they get formation broken.

tried to activate this mod alone but for some reason its not removing the swords nor the fight animations for them

I know, I got triggered. But people thinking that yari units put their yaris on their back and thought with katanas against each other and then flaming this mod makes my blood boil. People who just think otherwise i'm not annoyed at but the obnoxious weebs who don't know what they're talking about. My virgin rage could fuel a thousand sons.

@Jollyross that was nasty.

Amy dickhead who thinks this is unhistorical because it removes katanas needs to be killed.
