Greets. I'm having trouble with my md2 models-- they won't play, but they'll loop. To clarify, the loop object command works with them, but play object and set object frame don't do anything. Interpolation and object speed do effect them. I've tried this with a number of md2 models off of Polycount with the same results-- no complex code here, just load + play/loop +do-sync-loop. (Edit-- will also note that trying to loop between a set of specific frames fails. Apparently Pro is loading in the frame data wrong? Works fine in Deep Exploration.)

Same thing with you guys?

I had a simular problem before....

try this and see if it works as a work around...

Play Object obj,1,finalframe

I found that simply calling
Play Object obj
would stop at the last frame and not reset to the first frame.

Oh-- I think I may have located another problem. Play object 1,1,80, for example, actually stops the object at frame 80.01*******, so If Object Frame(1)=80 dosen't work like it should... Play Object without any paramaters also dosen't work. I think the animation commands need a tad bit of fixing .

Thanks.

Here's more weirdness.

Play Object 1,55,80, before the main loop, plays the object from frame 1 to 80. That's bad enough.

And...

If Object Frame(1)>80 then set object frame 1,55 : play object 1,55,80

...inside the main loop just keeps playing the object past frame 80. In other words the play object command has no regard for the start frame on md2 models, and apparently if the end frame is earlier than its current frame, it just keeps playing to the end.

In other words md2 models are currently useless until they get fixed . I'm going to post this in the bug reports forum in a bit, I hope it can be repaired in Upgrade 6.

I'm having the same problem with a model someone asked me to try out ...

SET OBJECT FRAME doesn't.

TOTAL OBJECT FRAMES() returns 0 until you actually start animating

PLAY OBJECT doesn't start at the specified start frame, it initially starts at frame 1, and then will only move forward through the frames.

I'll tell you what. If you post it, I'll confirm it
