11 years ago MP has some tie-ins as well, they just aren't implemented. The variable you're looking for is ->animIndex. This was to be used in Siege, but it doesn't really work.

It would be useful if mods could add additional animations without having to change the original .gla. (Incidentally, that would also help with redistribution, since the new files are no longer modified versions of Raven's assets.)
It could work like this: When loading a .gla, all animations from .gla files in the folder with the name of the .gla get loaded as well. So to add a climbing animation to _humanoid, you'd have
- models/players/_humanoid/_humanoid.gla/climbing.gla
- models/players/_humanoid/_humanoid.gla/climbing.cfg
The latter is akin to animation.cfg, but since there can be multiple additional files we obviously need to use a recognizable name.
An obvious problem here is MAX_QPATH - when adding to the animations with already long filenames, the path could easily get longer than 64 characters. As long as the filesystem is able to cope with that it won't be apparent to anybody once the additional animations have been added though.
Some groundwork for this has already been done in SP, where _models/players/_humanoid/humanoid
