[BUG] .x models skipping animations

[Aelis440]

Hello, I've been using .x files for my animated models and have noticed that when Irrlicht runs a frame loop, it skips the last few frames. If I have a model with 60 frames, it will play 0-58 and then repeat, causing a slight choppiness in the loop. You can see it quite clearly in this model:

(right-click, "save as", otherwise it will probably just open as a text file in your browser)

I suggest slowing down the animation speed, it happens just at the end of the frame loop. If you go into the text file and manually add two more frames to the end, the animation runs beautifully. Here is a brief code snippet of how I am using the model:

Code: Select all

targetCircle[i] = smgr->addAnimatedMeshSceneNode(smgr->getMesh("media/teal-target.x"), 0, 0, vector3df(0, 70, 0));
			targetCircle[i]->setScale(vector3df(15,15,15));
			targetCircle[i]->setFrameLoop(0, 50);
			targetCircle[i]->setMaterialType(EMT_TRANSPARENT_VERTEX_ALPHA);
			targetCircle[i]->setAnimationSpeed(10);

If this is not a bug, I'd love to know what I'm doing wrong. It seems unlikely to me that adding two "dead" frames at the end of the text file is the proper way to go about doing this. : ) Thanks for all of your guys' help!

There does seem to be an issue, but animation is more hybrid and luke's thang.

There's a bug tracking this.

Great to know, thanks a ton. For the moment, I'll just jimmy-rig my animations to work until you guys get it fixed on your end.
