between deadX and deathX animation. the cause of the broken animation is: dead actor appears, EV_ACTOR_APPEAR - set animation for this le_t to dead%i in its think function - now a EV_ACTOR_DIE is sent directly after it, without ever calling R_AnimRun - and we are appending the death animation here. This happens if an actor that was not yet visible to us appears already dead


this will always show the effect of broken animations
just R_AnimChange(&le->as, le->model1, "death1"); directly followed by a R_AnimAppend(&le->as, le->model1, "dead1");
adding R_AnimRun(&le->as, le->model1, 100); in between those two calls fixes the issue

attempt to fix this bug was: http://ufoai.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ufoai/ufoai;a=object;h=4e0fbce27fb47b31e065e6127cb7a442881b3f2c

had to revert it in http://ufoai.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=ufoai/ufoai;a=commit;h=78f996b119059b7d6837c680fa7643bf5f060677

IIRC there was another try to fix this issue, which did not work:

Here the commit:

This hack fixes the issue for 2.4 and there should not be any regression:
