Description:
don't know if its just me or the program.
but am trying to build an animated vehicle, and after i add all the key frames then click ok or update view, the keyframes all get changed to refrence the same model resulting in no animation.

all the models are .atm files.

just tried editing each model a bit before adding it to the keyframe list.
same thing still happens.

Works fine for me. If you send me your keyframes I'll take a look.

found the problem...i think. when i actually moved one of the keyframes up a bit and redid the animation, the model did move up and down.

the fact its listing the same keyframe over and over is just a graphical bug i guess.
the converter also doesn't display the fact that each keyframe has different UV coordinates so they appear the same in the converter, hence why i thought it wasen't working. probably will be the same in the game aswell.

Oh, you're animating UVs? That doesn't work I'm afraid (/edit - as in, that's not possible - not that it's a broken feature. I guess because storing UV data for each frame would result in a massive increase in filesize)

The keyframe ID (filename etc) has been broken for a while, which is a minor irritant.

that and the fact that all the keyframes are copies of the exact same model but wiht different coordinates. so will have to edit them so that each keyframe contains each model, but only showing a dominate one when the rest are smaller. then it should work fine.

hmm...thats odd...

if i have a model with a red car and an identical yellow car below it as key frame 1, then a model with the yellow car over the red car as key frame 2, the converter wont show them swap places.
