The animation name consist of series of prefixes describing the contents of the move.
If the animation is a translation from one pose to another, the name contains both, the source and the destination moves, separated by an underscore.

Not all games contain all prefixed fields.

  • Action - General action (e.g move, cargo, weapon operation)
  • Pose - Unit stance (e.g erect, prone)
  • Movement - Movement style/speed (e.g stop, walk, run)
  • Stance - Weapon position (e.g raised, lowered)
  • Weapon - Weapon in use (e.g rifle, pistol)
  • Direction - Where the character moves (e.g front, left)
Therefore, AmovPercMrunSlowWrflDf stands for:
  • Action movement
  • Posture erect
  • Movement run
  • Stance (of weapon) low
  • Weapon rifle
  • Direction forward.
