John,
Thanks for the great seminars in Hawaii.
What I have is a cube which I call World. Each side has a different surface
name: WorldTop, WorldBottom, World1, World2, etc. I have an image sequence
called WorldClips.
The image sequence is 300 frames. I only want to map World1, World2, World3,
World4. In the Images panel, I loaded WorldClips with an offset of -59 with a
loop of 300, WorldClips with an offset of -119 and a loop of 300, and so on. In
the Surface requester, I just pick the next version of the sequence for each
surface.
Like I said, it worked on the Amiga side, it didn't on the SN side.
Having spent many years on the PC side of the world, the concept of reloading
the same-named file, multiple times is not something I'd normally consider, but
I noticed once that I'd accidentally loaded an image file twice into LW and the
system didn't complain.
I see what you're getting at and I'll try using different capitalization and
see if it works on the SN side. It'll be real interesting to see if some of the
"quirks" of the Amiga can be implemented on the new platforms.
Of course, you can use this as a topic for your column.
