You could have written this in the last thread that i answered, to save space, and to acknowledge that i may have helped you.

To answer your question, look in the help files.

Quote: "The new animation data will begin from the start frame specified up to the length of the files animation data"

you can you "total object frames" to find the number of frames in one object's animation. You append objects together so you don't have to load a bunch of objects on top of each other.

There 10 kinds of people, those who understand binary and those who don't

the problem is, i don't believe the append object command works correctly. if you look at the example file they give you to look at, it doesn't use that command anywhere . and i've attempted to use it multiple times and to no avail, i think its one of those magical bugs in db that never got and never will be fixed. shame really, as it would make giving a model many animations easier by many degrees.

calculate the first models animation frame maximum.
eg: model 1 media 1 location. eg: 1 to 59

the appended model will be attached to model 1
at frame 59 and is say 30 frames of animation

hopefully this makes sense if I pose it like this.

append object "filename",prior_models_media_number,last_frame.

if that doesnt make sense then try this small snippet example.
two model media required tho.

Hi there

Easiest way is to load up one object first, then print to screen
something like



This will tell you how many frames the object has, then you write down the frame number, then change the filename for the other object and run it, to see how many frames that object has and so forth.

Easiest way
