DRAWANIM - create data in program?

Previous topic - Next topic

Is it possible to create the data for the drawanim command in the program? Like grabsprite but for drawanim.

oh. Not thought about that, yet. No.
Usually GRABSPRITE is not really a good idea. Try avoinding it where ever possible. OpenGL/3D hardware just isn't designed for grabbing.

What I want with it is to extract the grafic data from the map data in Mappys FMP format, any ideas of another solution? Extract it, save to a picture file and load that one? :-)

Why would you need grabsprite for a mappy map? I just don't get it.

Moru

The mappy format includes all you need for the map, also the grafics. I need to plot the sprites on a screen and then grab from there unless you have a better sugestion to do this?

Kitty Hello

copy the files you selected in your program, maybe? I'm sorry if I'm stupid, I've not used mappy at all.

Moru

That is the part I would like to avoid but I'm doing it now. Since the format already includes the grafics I would like my functions to be more or less complete by using them. On the other hand every map contains the grafics so if you have 10 maps using the same grafics you have 10 copies of the same grafics. Ofcourse you can get mappy to save it without the grafics but then it's not mappy compatible and can't be edited again.
