It would be helpful if someone could work out them post the frame mapping required to fix this issue. I might take a stab at this if I don't have to figure that part out myself.

Ok I will try to do that. Will reply when I have the working results. It needs some testing.

My idea is this. Basically the loop in FPSWeapon.GetWeaponTextureAtlas() that loads the frames for each file record uses a for loop to go from frame 0 to n. I plan to change the loop to user a list of integer frame numbers in sequence. Then for any filenames that we need to, a custom list of frame numbers in the specific sequence required to re-order the frames to match the normal weapons can be used instead.

I could be mistaken, but this seems like a very easy way to adjust the data as it's read into DFU. Feel free to point out any flaws in the plan if you like, but I am happy to just try it. If it doesn't work it can wait until someone more knowledgable gets around to it, as Interkarma said it's hardly the most pressing issue we have.

I've just fixed this in DFU so it maps the correct frames to attack directions for magic battle-axe.

KoW - this doesn't change anything with modding on your end. You still need to replace the animations in the order they're present in WEAPO108.CIF. DFU will just draw the correct animation for each gesture now.

For reference the record orders in WEAPO108.CIF are:
Whereas the standard order is:
Daggerfal Unity remaps these record indices as follows so they are drawn correctly in-game and use the same gesture order as other standard weapons:

Sorry Hazelnut, while trying to get some good information for you, I ended up fixing it in the process. The best way to do this is just to remap the record order in a unique set of weapon anims for the magic battle-axe. Fix pushed now.

Also while writing the above, I had this in my head the whole time.

Aha, that's very nice. Better than my plan.

Im happy this is solved! It was not so easy to identify the bug, and having all magic axes bugged is non marginal to me.

Great job, thank you
