Is there a limit to the number of frames i can use for animations? Or can i use say, 30, if i feel like it? Are there drawbacks?

Oh yeah, this was in skin developement forums...

As far as I know BMPs don't support multiple frames, so it's no animations for qcd/qmp.

I guess you are talking about visual (eq) animations? (Dont know the answer in any case... :cheeky: )

RMI is referring to a skinned visualization which uses the same draw method as a rotational slider when drawn on the .bmp

there is an upload limit here which prohibits large intricate animations. i know this because i've pushed the envelope on it numerous times.

There's no programmed limit to the number of frames for a skinned vis.

If anyone is reworking their skins because of upload limit sizes, just drop me a note, I may up the limit.

Hey thanks, that's very friendly! Then i'll just keep experimenting and see where it'll end up. :cool:

PS If anyone is still stuck with a Pentium processor and 128MB RAM, well that's too bad, time to upgrade lol :ponder:
