Xplorer4x4 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 So do you need the sign to rotate or do you just need the text on the sign to change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 The way you wrote it, sounds like you want to have it swap what is on the signboard, to do that put what u want to display on two singular plates just 4 vert 2 poly things, map them and all that, then use the animation to make one sink into the sign, the other be outside and alternate.

Xplorer4x4 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Wouldnt it be easier to just make an animated gif and apply that as the texture? Assuming EM4 will accept animated gifs which i cant see hwy it wouldnt as it accepts png and jpeg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I've never tried gifs on emergency I did try a great deal of formats however, the way emergency compresses im not sure that it can take a gif, let alone clearly, it'd probrably compress the ever loving god outta it. PNG, BMP, DDS seem to be the winners in formats the game will use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
