Hello Everyone,

Maybe some of you know, Hockeykid and I are making Water.
But we have some problems. We tried to make Animated Water.
We animated and Exported it to an .X file. We made the .fpi and the .fpe file. But when we load it in to FPSC it is only showing: the texture and the first frame of the Entity. Here is our .fpi and .fpe.

Maybe it is the exporting that went wrong. If so, tell me and I post the .X file too.

Thanks,

Red Eye Productions

Well, aside from setting your anim max to 100 (which should actually just be 1) I don't see anything wrong.

Try reexporting the model.

If it is the model that's the problem, then you may want to ask about it in the models and media board.

The first Animation-Frames need to be in the "Anim0" Field.

Then use animate=1

Yeah, that's the best I got. Aside from that.... are you perhaps setting the entity to be Immobile? That may be the cause, but not sure.

Unless something has changed since I last used animation you cant get vertex animation in fpsc, if thats what your using then it prolly wont work anyhow and if your creating a moving surface I am guessing you are. If your using bones to animate a water surface your gonna need a TON of em, not to say that it wouldnt work

Is it animating at all, are you looping the anim?
I notice your fpe uses 100 frames not thirty.

Ok took a look at it.
I am not sure what you are trying for here so I can only say what I get, your wave is animated it vibrates at a very fast rate if you are trying to achieve a slow swell you are going to need a lot more frames, good news is it does work.
One thing I would do is not to have such a deep trough unless you intend to create a very deep swell, the trough in this particular wave does not change over time so your 'sea' surface is never changing and it just dont work like that. It also seems from the size of these 'one segment' that you intend to tile them, two things you have to ensure, that they align proper when laid down and that the last frame of your animation is the same as the first so it loops correctly.

Here is the correct fpe for your current wave.

Use the following script to animate your objects.


I like what your trying to do here, good luck with it.

Made a wave, it works fine, find it in the attached rar, extract the animate2.fpi to scriptbank and drop the rest into entitybank, no textures and its so exaggerated its practically unusable but it does work.

WOW It works really cool, but indeed a little exaggerated, here is a pic with a texture on it...

How did you do it? With bones? And where did export it? With Milkshape? Wich program did you use for Making it?
