Additional Info:

The named animations available are as follows:

"stand", "run", "attack", "pain1", "pain2", "pain3", "jump", "death1", "death2"

"death3", "flip", "salute", "taunt", "wave", "point", "crstand", "crwalk", "crattack"

"crpain", "crdeath"

Not all MD2 meshes support all animation names.  There may be additional names available provided by the author of the mesh.  Setting the named animation automatically loads the start and end frames for that animation track.

MD2 animations use linear interpolation between frames to smooth animation sequences.
