Hi all I load in from Darkmatter2 skelletal warrior loads no probs
If i just
loop objno he loops through all animations.

if i want to just loop through the walking anim it says in the readme
file that i need frames 450-530.
so i type
loop objno,450,530
and nothing happens.
i have also tried to set frame before looping.
the same happens with other models also from darkmatter2

any help would be appreciated.

hmm...

Then it sounds like the frame numbers don't match what you're giving the loop command. That would be a real bugger to figure out in my opinion, you'd need a list of all animation quantities saved in the file to find your frames!

I guess you could do the trial and error bit to locate them, but what a bother...

Is there a program that lists the animation frames for an object out there?

Any truly great code should be indisguishable from magic.

the frame numbers are given in a text file that came with the models
it is not just one model it is the darkmatter2 pack of models
i can`t seem to get any of them to work.

oh you don't know of any plugins that let you build and use windows type windows do you.

hehehehe.. well I'm using DBC 1.12.. haven't even enhanced it yet.

And the huh? was because a friend came over and mucked up my brain, so I wasn't able to think that clearly.

From what I understand, we have access to the windows command, though I do agree it's not the normal foundation class you'd find in like C. No setting attributes and such like that, but i suppose that if you call upon the proper DLL with the correct values as listed in win.h, you could gain access to all functions of the standard window.

Are you thinking a console window or a graphic window? It seems to me that DB uses the graphic definition, so you'd be after getting to the text console stuff. That's be more like a list box in my way of thinking for DB, or possibly a child process using the terminal interface. Just where are you going?

im going nowhere fast at the moment.
I was hoping to try and come up with a matrix & model placing prog that would need a few windows and menus etc ive already got a design on paper for how things will work but doing it is another matter.
I want to make a matrix set hieghts texture it and save info so db can read it to make the matrix then i want to build objects on the matrix ie:cubes that you scale to walls etc,texture them etc.and have the prog save that so you can use the info in make obj commands
and also it would save object positions.

hmm.. one would ask; if it's all done in the DB window, why do you need access to the console? Just setting window on should make it behave like a normal window I believe...

why not set up your code to print to screen the frame numbers as they are played then you could write them down for later use

Thats a good idea. When I want to check I my animation exported correctly, I print to screen the total frames too. You can also set up some keyboard input to loop through batches of frames ie. 0-50,51-100 etc. It helps move through it faster and easier to spot the loops.

dbdel, you might want to check out. MagicWindows.
