To all, Could someone remind me how to use makeifl.exe with my par drive? I tried the following: makeifl jumpfinl jump 0 216 this makes an IFL in the 3ds directory (which is in the map path) but when I render the anim I get the error "can't find jump0000.tga". I know this is simple to correct but my mind has gone blank. It must be because my birthday is tommorrow and I ready to celebrate (or am I just getting forgetful at age 31?) Thanks for your help in advance! Jimbo

Hi Jim.. Make sure the filename on the par has 4 chars and 0000 then go to the dir that has makeifl ( also make sure all the dir's you are using are in the 3DS paths ) then just do makeifl name name 0 100 that should do it . Par is real fussy about file names <g> hope this helps … Har y Dusenberg

Hi Jim, << rotoscoping from the PAR.. >> Reposting a msg from Don Landis.. "You MUST use an IFL. You MUST name the Par ani file four letters followed by four zeros as in ABCD0000.ani. You MUST have the ifl and the par directory listed in your map paths. You Must launch the DPSPAR.PXP and specify targa and file. That should do it."

Jonas, <<You MUST have the ifl and the par directory listed in your map paths.>> Duh, Duh, Duh, I switched machines and didn't have my par in the map path. Shesh, it's time for me to start the weekend early. Thanks, Jimbo
