When the actor sits down and stands up it looks like engine plays twice the first frame of the animation. It is noticeable, that the actor twitches between "standup" and "idle" and between "sitdown" and "work".

Animations:
"sitdown"   - actor sits down at the computer
"work"       -  actor hits the keys of the keyboard (he is sitting)
"standup"   - actor stands up from the computer

Here is the exe-file, which demonstrates the bug: http://reptilesquest.mirgames.ru/download/bug.zip (5,2 Mb)

Press F1 - the actor will sit down.
Press F2 - he will stand up.

Code:

Code: [Select]

if(Keyboard.KeyCode==VK_F1)
  {
  actor.PlayAnim("sitdown");
actor.IdleAnimName = "work";
  }
  else if(Keyboard.KeyCode==VK_F2)
  {
  actor.PlayAnim("standup");
actor.IdleAnimName = "none";
  }
The actor has no "none" animation. I did this to show the bug better. It is noticeable, that at the end of the "standup" animation the first frame is played again.


Part of .act3d-file

Code: [Select]

  ANIMATION
  {
    NAME="sitdown"
    LOOPING=FALSE
  }

  ANIMATION
  {
    NAME="standup"
    LOOPING=FALSE
  }
 
  ANIMATION
  {
    NAME="work"
    LOOPING=TRUE
  }

That's nice and sweet, but you could you *please* provide me with sources of this demo? Compiled and bound to executable it's pretty much useless for testing... Thanks.

[Dionysius]

Please, read the PM

[Mnemonic]

Thank you!

[Dionysius]

Fixed? Where I can take the patch? 

[Mnemonic]

Patience, young padawan. I'm trying to push in some more bugfixes.

[Dionysius]

Ok, master Yoda

I think I am getting this too, switch IdleAnimName to 'lay', then play a 'standup' animation. Then set IdleAnimName to 'idle' again and it jumps to 1st frame of 'standup' really fast like 200ms, even though last frame of standup should transition smoothly to idle.

Mnemonic (master Yoda? that's something I hear for the first time ) has already said it's fixed for the next version. For now I think that 1.8.7 test version also has this bug fixed if you want to test it.

For now I think that 1.8.7 test version also has this bug fixed if you want to test it.

Are you talk about this http://dead-code.org/download/wme_test_widescreen.zip ?

[rkitting]

Sure I'll be willing to test it asap

WME 1.8.009 bug still present...

[cremen]

sorry, more info:
Actors are 3d (*.x-files)

and some code:

Code: [Select]

albina = Game.LoadActor3D( "actors\albina\albina.act3d" ); // mesh = albina.x
albina.MergeAnims( "actors\female\albinas_special.X" );
albina.IdleAnimName = "read";
so bug still present.
but, if this animation is in original albina.x file and named as "Idle", then no bug

[Mnemonic]

As far as I can tell, this bug is fixed and it doesn't matter if the animation is in a merged X file or not.
Can you provide a project (with sources) showing some faulty behavior?

[cremen]

ok, this is some sources (with some loading errors)
(sources and compiled package is some dirty archive)

points of interests: scenes\albina\scr\scene_init.script, see the comments

albina.IdleAnimName <- bug here
albina.SetAnimTransitionTime <- some tryouts to fix, but not working.

http://pinktown.ru/public/animbug.zip 2.8 mb (becouse contain compiled packages)

[cremen]

This animation are played successfully in DirectX SDK viewer. (loop without any artefacts)

P.S. In Brume C# Engine too.

[Mnemonic]

It's not a bug. The problem is the engine doesn't know the reading animation should loop and keeps restarting it all the time.
You need to add a definition file which adds more animation properties. Normally this is done in the .act3D file (like you did), however for merged animations each .X file must be coupled with a definition file.

Simply put, create a new text file called "stand_n_read.anim" where your stand_n_read.x is located and the file will contain the following:

Code: [Select]

ANIMATION
{
  NAME="read"
  LOOPING=TRUE
}

That will fix the problem.

[cremen]

ok, it fix helped.

thanks for your time.
