Models and what animations they use

When people upload models they should be required to post what animations the model uses. Too often the uploader doesn't mention it. Lately I've looked through and downloaded several models which look good but I only hoped they had custom animations. It would've saved time if that information was stated at the download page.

Currently the model details are:
Type: Unit
Category: World of Warcraft, Goblin, Creep, Cartoon
Model-ID yl16v4

Why not make it:
Type: Unit
Category: World of Warcraft, Goblin, Creep, Cartoon
Model-ID yl16v4
Animations: xxxx

You could then specify if they are custom or Blademaster/Arthas/whatever.

I suppose it would have to be up to the ppl that submit them to enter what kind of anims their model has

Maybe put another menu in here under model type.

Why would you care if they're custom or in-game animations? The model works and looks great, what else do you need? :O
Not all custom animations are that great either.

hmm, sometimes you need to know the animations to match the theme of the map or something, do you want the animations to be cool for your map or do you want lousy animations for laughs? It will be so hard for the downloader to check and check and download and download to see the animations
