hay guys again,
sorry to post so quickly, but another problem i have is using animation on the mobs im using in the game engine.

+ Code Snippet

rem load image for object texture
load image "???.dds",50
rem load in the objects animations
for anim=1 to 16
   name$="???"+str$(1000+anim)+".x"
   load object name$,50+anim
   make object anim,50+anim,50
next anim

rem code ripped from other section of program to update the objects
rem update pos, change anim, retexture..... very slow.
               position object mob,obx#,5000,obz#
               yrotate object mob,enemyangle(mob)
               change mesh mob,0,enemyanim(mob)+50
               texture object mob,50

I dont have any 3d software packages to join these frames together, its a file a friend let me use from his example code.
So, i guess what im asking is this necissary or is there a faster more convenient way of doing it.

anyway, looking forward to hearing from anyone with useful input
cheers

look up fragmotion or milkshape, you can get I think a 20/30 day trial.. You could load or import your .x file, bone it, animate it, save it...

Then all you would have to do from there is use the basic animation commands like

Quote: "PLAY OBJECT
These commands will play the animation data contained within the specified 3D object. You can optionally play the animation by
providing a specified start and end frame. The parameters should be specified using integer values.

SYNTAX
PLAY OBJECT Object Number
PLAY OBJECT Object Number, Start Frame
PLAY OBJECT Object Number, Start Frame, End Frame
"
