The new update has apparently stopped the command dbLoopObject() and other animation codes from working. I confirmed this by switching back to the older versions of GDK, in which animations were working, and then reinstalling the new version, in which the animations were not working.

Other users are reporting this too on the Dark GDK forum. Any chance of getting this fixed?

I concur. I have the same problem. Well, almost the same.... There are rare occasions that I will see the animation work, but it's not like the older version where it worked every time. I have even tried to dbSetObjectFrame(...) using a timer and even that isn't working right-- I have a cow that has 3 animation sequences (standing, walking, and dead). Using dbSetObjectFrame(...) I get animation overlaps. When it walks, sometimes the "standing" animation plays and then "walking" plays and sometimes "dead" plays.... This is confusing. I can't seem to pin down why it's doing that.

Maybe we can copy the older version of just the 3D objects file.... Maybe that will work? When I copied over the new version, I didn't make a backup of the old one (I know bad idea). Where can I get a copy of the older one?

wheres the code?

I also confirm that dbLoopObject and dbPlayObject do not work in the last Dark GDK version. I don't know why nobody has taken the trouble to write a bug report until now, but the problem was immediately reported in the thread where the update was published last October, so it has been known since then.

I trust that we don't need to attach a complete Visual Studio project just for: dbLoadObject, dbLoopObject and observe that it does nothing. I tried with several X models in the Dark GDK samples collection and model packs as well. Animation plays with earlier Dark GDK versions but not with the latest.

@Hawkblood: dbSetObjectFrame works as far as I can tell, I also used it as a basis of a timed animation function. If it does not work for you, then please post an example to reproduce the problem. (Earlier Dark GDK versions you can find in their update threads on the forum, e.g. search for 7.4 in the thread subject, but if dbSetObjectFrame works, you don't need to downgrade.)

See my post on this thread for code sample:

dbSetObjectFrame seems to allow a workaround.
