Question regarding an "unused" animation

[marienus]

I'm basically working on my first mod which will involve some horse archery. As I was exploring my way through OpenBRF I came up to the animations "anim_human_ready_bow_mounted" and "anim_human_release_bow_mounted". I've been playing Warband for quite some time now, and I had never mentioned a difference between the mounted archery animations and the foot archery animations. When I started up the game and got into custom battle as a horse archer, I was looking if I could see the different animations. Which I did not. My question is; Why is this animations in the files and how can I make it work for horse archery?

Thanks in advance.

A ton of animations, both in the resource files and in module_animations.py, are unused and/or deprecated. For example there are a ton of animations for "realistic" parrying that were scrapped, presumably because it's impossible to line those animations up in a battle.

Probably about half of the stuff you see in the .brfs is not used at all.
