Overhead and side attack animations are missing for some polearms
Some polearms are missing their overhead and side attack animations. When a character, either player or non-player, attempts to swing with the affected polearms, they enter into the "flying" animation (refer to "no-swing.jpg"), which appears to be a similar animation to when a character jumps or falls from a large height, instead of chambering their attack. The flying animation substitutes for the chambering animation, so it persists until the attack is released. The attacking sound occurs and opponents appear to block, but I'm unsure if the attack, itself, occurs.
Below is a list of malfunctioning, functioning, and untested polearms.
Malfunctioning
Light lance
Pike
Awlpike
Long awlpike
War hammmer
Functioning
Long hafted spiked mace
Long hafted hobbled mace
Long spiked club
Pithfork
Scythe
Military fork
Boar spear
Battle fork
Double-sided lance
Glaive
Quarterstaff
Staff
Shortened spear
Spear
Bamboo spear
War spear
Military scythe
Untested
Poleaxe
Polehammer
Heavy lance (likely affected)
Ashwood pike (likely affected)
Note, I ignored weapons that couldn't be swung.
Perhaps the animations are connected to weapons that can be braced (mounted or on foot via the new commands) and swung? This issue doesn't exist in Native, so my guess is that the bracing functionality that was added has something to do with this issue. I reproduced this across multiple saves and versions of SS. This report is for v0.14.

Using the war hammer appeared to work fine for me?

Folks (anyone other than Diessa), I need you to see if with the most recent copy of the mod in the dropbox (from last night) if you can purchase a "war hammer" from the find item cheat and check if the overhead swing animation is broken in your game. It appears to work fine for me, but is broken in Diessa's game.

Yes, Dawg left the names very generic for easier testing.
You can't enable the "cheat mode" and then use the Find Item cheat to buy something?

I can enable cheat menu, and I can see the item types and info in the 'view all items' in reference report but can't buy.
I can also go to the cheat menu where I can view the item ranges, but the items there are showing as text only.
Ok, that makes sense. I couldn't find War hammer, only a Bent war hammer which worked normal.

In the find item cheat menu you have to find the range of items (which are just text) then "choose an item from this range". This will bring up a trade window that you can then buy an item from.

Though a "bent war hammer" is still a "war hammer" just with the "bent" modifier. If that is working for you then it appears to be something not installing properly in Diessa's copy which isn't making much sense.
