I'm the animator of the models. You need to change the source code. I don't know what you know, and I get on rarely so I probably
won't see any response post for a while, so I'll go over a lot in one post.So, let's do a quick(ish) Animation & Coding 101...
(If you wanna reply I don't accept TLDR;)

The game animates from calculating the differences between set positions at set times, called Keyframes.
Every frame (24 per sec on the models) the game does the math and moves the points on the model to their new calculated positions.

The old D-class locations have different keyframes, so they will not animate, because the models don't have those keyframes.
As for other things, like stretching, rotation, disjointed objects (tail, mane, eyes, etc.) that's the .B3D.

So, to fix the models, you need some basic coding skills, the keyframes animation, and the FPS (Frames-per-second) of the model.
I can't help you with the first thing, and you could find the other two using fragMOTION, but I'm nice and did a lot of digging.

AT 24FPS... So, I'm using the 0.8.2 bug-fixed version by JuanJPro, you can find it here.
All the animation in the intro is coded, and that's in the Event section of Main.bb. Prepare to enter the spaghetti zone.
So, NPC[1] is a Class-D, along with NPC[2] and they have spawned. We need to find where the game uses the Animate2() function on both of those entities.

Starting at Line 2001: There it is, now we need to find out what it means. We can do this by looking at the documentation Regalis made for the function so he can plug in all the variables.
So, if we cross all the numbers...
ent%=e\room\NPC[2]\obj
curr#=AnimTime(e\room\NPC[2]\obj)
start%=406
quit%=382
speed#=-0.01*15
loop= Not defined.

So, Animate2() affects the physical entity (\obj) of NPC[2]. It uses AnimTime() to calculate the current frame it is on and it draws it. The walk animation starts at frame 406 and ends at 382.
So, it goes backward? Our animation however is not, if we plug in those numbers from earlier from the keyframe lists, and boom.
Now, for speed you might need to experiment, I don't know what speed Glitch had them at, try to sync it up with their movement.
That's the intro, the 106 anims are in NPCs.bb, and other events are scattered in various places. They still need to be updated for the
new events.

I'm out of time, I hope you learned enough to fix the rest of it. Go, my child.

Hooray, possibility for animations!

Nice Thanks. I'll have a go and see what happens.

If you want I can send you snippets of the old code as reference, and keep in mind that changing 106's animations will break him, getting him to work properly might be tricky.

Yes please.

Alright, I'll do so when I get home in a few hours.

Thank you.

From NPC.bb: This is what the Class D pony used.

This is what the Class D pony used.

For all anyone cares I could work on sound. I could also turn scp 682 in to luna! P.S. Glitch rainbow looks very 'festive'.

CIM if you need any further help I can do it. I just don't have much freetime and even if you have to experiment with it a lot it'd still probably get finished a lot earlier than I could do it.
