Try just using the default settings Van ..... no need to change anything.

I use this setup if it requires animation.

Using the default settings when the DX8 format is chosen (as I told you before) allowed me to rotate any limb on the model, deforming the mesh while also playing the models internal bone animation (although the pre-made bone anims were extremely slow - this could be an error with the way it was exported.)

Ahh, for some reason my animation frames are multiplied by 150 - which means frame 2 is really frame 150 - which is good because I can use integers in the animation system .

I have 30 dudes running around at a reasonable frame rate - that's with a 8192 poly terrain, 4000 poly foliage, and 888 poly characters. So your talking 50,000+ polys - once I optimise there'll be plenty resources left .

Thanks for all your input guys, I will look into that manual animation thingy, it might be possible to do a ragdoll death instead of having to animate, which would really rock!.
