How to create reanimation mods
Very short how-to

  1. Import character model into modelling program, decompiled one is preferred.
  2. Create desired animation and export it to smd or dmx. It must have same bones setup heirarchy as model's.
  3. Take .qc file from decompiled animation mdl. Remove all $animations, $sequences and $modelname. Keep everything else as is.
  4. Set $modelname to "xdreanims/<CHARACTER_NAME>_slot_<SLOT_NUMBER>.mdl", where <CHARACTER_NAME> is character name (list is below) and <SLOT_NUMBER> is desired slot from 1 to 48 with 3 digits. Example for mod for bill to slot 7: $modelname "xdreanims/bill_slot_007.mdl"
  5. Add replacement sequence(s) with names of original ones to replace. Browse for original qc. If it has Activity assigned, it must be preserved.
  6. Compile, test, redistribute.

Also, be nice. Don't redistribute base addon. Instead add it as dependency.
