When adding spells for archers and peasants, I noticed that when casting, they strike a silly pose with their arms outstretched. How can I replace this casting animation with another one?

Add an animation with the name "cast" to their AnimSet, and link it to another animation of the same creature, for example, "rangeattack".

Could you please provide more details? I read the FAQ but couldn't figure it out.

In data.pak, you find the list of animations for the model of the desired creature (AnimSet) and add a new element there with the name "cast" and a link to one of the existing animations. You can also do this through the editor: select, for example, an archer and highlight it; in the property tree, in the "shared" line, click on the ellipsis, then do the same in the "AnimSet" line, and then proceed as described above.

Thank you, I understand. But it only worked after I added an effect to the animation. Another question: where is the animation for alternate updates of creatures located?

I have a question. I did everything as described, and it worked for the Death Herald, but not for the Banshee. Is there some other technology involved?

No, it's the same process; there's no difference.

Maybe you mixed up the folders? The Undead faction seems to have two folders for alternative upgrades; perhaps you confused the names, and the game can't find the file (this is just a theory; it often happens to me).

It turns out that the banshee is located in the Characters/Creatures/Necropolis/AlternativeUpgrade folder. I tried moving the animation of the Herald's ability to the banshee in this folder, but it didn't work. Then I tried doing the same thing, but with the banshee's attack, and it still failed; I can't understand what the problem is.

For simplicity, do this through the Map Editor. There, you can also study the "File Location" by using a "reverse scheme," i.e., by going into the creature whose animation you are interested in.
Also, creating a separate folder where you can extract a copy of the archive (data file) and then use a search engine within that folder to freely search for what you need and find out where it is located may help with finding the right files.
