For my mod (and the new char gfx) I set all weapons to weapon look hth, to avoid having to use the same graphics for BOTH hth AND a weapon (if I had set it to axe, I'd have to do both hth and axe looks).

But... the compelling orb, and hellforge, require a melee swing. Weapons have two attack anims, A1 and A2, hth has only one, A1. You can guess what happens - crash 1/2 of the time, a DZ(for example)TRLITA2HTH.COF file read error.

Sooo... do I really have to change weapons to axe and double the file size then? Or can I add the missing A2HTH animations, add the missing COF and make it work?

i believe you can add the missing anim. I remember doing some playing around with anim swapping back when I was trying (not successfully tho) to make a LH version of a ssd (short sword). it came out ok (just very badly offset and had weird timing among other stuff)

2B or not 2B, it all depends on your preference of pencil.

I had tried to give the Barbarian a rh katar animation, but failed MISERABLY; the katar anim's don't have a Barb hand stuck on them like the barb wpns do
