Melee problems

It seems the melee tutorials seem to work for some and not others.
I'm havin the problem of the RW sword not swinging, just kind of jerk a bit.
I have made all the engine changes(hitboxes work), animations setup in the player.cs,
no console error messages except
starter.fps/data/shapes/sword.dts - Collision mesh names should start with Col or LOSCol, encountered 'damageStart' in detail level 3
a bunch of times.

Edit: I'm going off of the 60-page one at the moment lol. "Localized damage.."

I never did get either of those to work properly

After alot of frustration and reading and tweaking one day I got it to work. I realized I wasnt using the correct player model with animations.
If you applied a hand-to-hand resource, and the 3rd person animation (swing) isnt running, make sure you have the Realm War's orc model, its "rw/data/shapes/player/orc" not "rw/data/shapes/player/"

I believe that solved my problem.
