Don't use sequence 0. Sequence 0 is special when used as a gaitsequence. It
means, "don't calculate any gait sequence animation info".
In CStudioModelRenderer::StudioDrawPlayer() you'll find:
...
if (pplayer->gaitsequence)
{
// calculate gait animation and blend parameters for aiming
}
else
{
// initialize bone controllers to default values
}
...
and in CStudioModelRenderer::StudioSetupBones() you'll find:
...
// calc gait animation
if ( m_pPlayerInfo && m_pPlayerInfo->gaitsequence != 0 )
{
// merge upper body with lower body
}
...
