I was scrolling along all the animation commands and i noticed it said 32 animations simultaneously. Does this mean both AI and human players or just the human player alone? or does it mean only 32 can be loaded at the same time?. my game Soul Journey i am creating with darkbasic is coming along perfectly so far but id hate for it to have a syntax error because of tree animations lol .

Sorry, I have no Idea.
Your best bet is to get an answer from a moderator, they usually know the answer to this kind of question.

Maybe nobody can be bothered.

I mean, how hard is the following code?

(Note: The purpose is *NOT* to be able to accurately play 32 animations side by side. The purpose is to prove that it is possible.)

The code loads 32 animations (all copies of one file), and plays the lot. Only one will visible, but you will get the same overhead and lack of performance as if they were all visible.

When testing this with a 640x480 3-second WMV file with low compression, on my P4 3.2 GHz-Radeon 9600 PC whilst having AOL, 2 copies of Mozilla, CodeKEEPER, and WinAmp in the background, the average frame rate was ~1 fps.



Not very hard.

2005 - Year of cartoony red cubes (look! black outline!), for me at least.
