This is a straightforward coding fix, quickly done and easy to implement.

These are the parts in rohanrohirrim.ini you will need to adjust. It's just the default-modelcondtions' flags (that determine at what time the bow/spear are shown/hidden) and the actual switching animations.

The funny thing is this. EA's layout is logical and faultless, yet they use a flag ('SWAPPING_TO_WEAPONSET_2') that the development team seems to have forgotten to implement. It is a temporary flag that is set, when you are just about to toggle the weaponset, who's flag is incidentally set or removed immediately. Now, the thing is that the flag 'SWAPPING_TO_WEAPONSET_1' is used correctly, and not only that, it is also used when toggling back! (Instead of 'SWAPPING_TO_WEAPONSET_2' as EA had planned)

So, to make it work all instances of 'SWAPPING_TO_WEAPONSET_2' need to be replaced by 'SWAPPING_TO_WEAPONSET_1' and at certain points the flag 'WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1' needs to be an additional condition.

So here it is. You can just plug in the pieces of code, replacing the old code, or just do the changes manually:



              
Code
;-----Spear-----
DefaultModelConditionState
    Model = RURohrm_SKN
End
ModelConditionState = SWAPPING_TO_WEAPONSET_1 WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1 ;added WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1
    Model = RURohrm_SKN
End

;-----Flaming arrows + bow-----
ModelConditionState = WEAPONSET_PLAYER_UPGRADE USER_2 SWAPPING_TO_WEAPONSET_1 ;was SWAPPING_TO_WEAPONSET_2
    Model = RURhrmArch_SKN
    WeaponLaunchBone = SECONDARY FIREAROWTIP
    ParticleSysBone = FireArowTip arrowFire FollowBone:Yes
End

ModelConditionState = WEAPONSET_PLAYER_UPGRADE USER_2 WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1
    Model = RURhrmArch_SKN
    WeaponLaunchBone = SECONDARY FIREAROWTIP
    ParticleSysBone = FireArowTip arrowFire FollowBone:Yes
End

;-----Bow-----
ModelConditionState = SWAPPING_TO_WEAPONSET_1 ;was SWAPPING_TO_WEAPONSET_2
    Model = RURhrmArch_SKN
    WeaponLaunchBone = SECONDARY FIREAROWTIP
End

ModelConditionState = WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1
    Model = RURhrmArch_SKN
    WeaponLaunchBone = SECONDARY FIREAROWTIP
End

...

; Swapping to spear -----        
AnimationState = SWAPPING_TO_WEAPONSET_1 ;---- was SWAPPING_TO_WEAPONSET_2
    StateName = State_PuttingBowAway
    Animation
        AnimationName = RURhrmArch_SKL.RURhrmArch_WPNA ; putting bow away.
        AnimationMode = ONCE
        AnimationSpeedFactorRange = 0.5 0.6 ; Needs to match one second, approx.
    End
    ; Flags = START_FRAME_LAST
End

...

; Swapping to bow -----        
AnimationState    = SWAPPING_TO_WEAPONSET_1 WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1 ;---- added SWAPPING_TO_WEAPONSET_1
    StateName = State_PuttingSpearAway
    Animation
        AnimationName = RURohrm_SKL.RURohrm_WPNB ; putting spear away.
        AnimationMode = ONCE_BACKWARDS
        AnimationSpeedFactorRange = 0.5 0.7 ; Needs to match one second.
    End
    Flags = START_FRAME_LAST
End


So, that's it. :P


If somehow you find that this doesn't work for you, tell me.
I would also like to know if it actually DOES work for you, so please leave a comment if you use this. Thanks. :P

Zoom in on the Rohirrim and toggle the weapons from bow to spear and back to bow. Watch closely.
You will see the glitch.
