[Plib-users] Animations yet again....

[SkyFlash <sky...@ch...>]

I am still having problems with animations.

What I did first was having my modelers create 20 .3ds frames in 20
files, and i was able to align those in a timed selector and run the
anim. More or less, cause I dont understand the speed setting.... I got
it set to 1 and its barely running, very slow. Although the whole app is
pretty fast. When I set it to 2 its about stopped. What would be a
sensible value for the animation speed??? 0 ??

Anyway, now I am trying to get it to work for real, meaning import an
.ase file that contains the anim frames and then let it create the
selector node itself. Right now, I wasnt able to load a single model
with anim frames into PLIB. Every model I try will only load one frame,
and not play any anim... I use the viewer program to display my ASE
files and play it, but it doesnt work.

I read through the load ase source code to see if anything is messed up,
but other than it using a ssgSelector node I couldnt find anything.

Questions:

1. Does anyone have an .ase file that actually WILL play an anim when
loaded into the viewer example?

2. Whats a sensible speed setting for an animation?

3. Why does loadase load it into a selector node and not a timedselector
node?????

4. Is there something wrong with loadase, or did anyone ever load an
anim with it?
