I've been trying to have a look at SL9A-MPIA.anim. It says it is viewable with Viewtek but I'm having no luck….any suggestions? A3000…OS2.04…6megs ram Seattle Bob, Just happy to be here.

What is the filename of the anim and what library is it in?

#46958From: Bob OramMay 18, 1995 6:48 PM

Its name is SL9.LHA (I think, its an animation of the Shumaker-Levy comet colliding with Jupiter). Its in the Animations lib 13. I'll check to make sure after this session. Seattle Bob, Just happy to be here.

If that is the file (SL9.LHA) it is viewable with ViewTek.

Thanks Steve, I have unpacked the archive and placed it in my "animations" drawer. When ever I chose the file from my Veiwtek file requester I get alot of disc activity and then I am returned to the file requester. I even tried "make anim7" and it did the same thing? Any suggestions? A3000, 2.04, 2chip, 4fast. Seattle Bob, Just happy to be here.

It animates fine for me using ViewTek. I have ViewTek setup on a ToolManager dock … I simply drag the anim's icon and drop it on ViewTek's dock … an animation plays. You might not have enough ram.

Steve, What's a ToolManagers dock? Seattle Bob, Just happy to be here.

it maybe that you need xpklibraries or you may have to force it to open a ntsc pal screen in viewtek.either that or itnneeds powerpacker.library to view

Thanks, I'm still working on it. On the mp103 program, I DLed a GUI interface program to go with it but it says I need GadTools lib v39…any idea where I could find that? You've been very helpful, thanks. Seattle Bob, Just happy to be here.

I'm running WB3.1 and I don't have that library, but the GUI interface doesn't complain at all. Rafa <Motorola Inside> …via AutoPilot 1.80 from Berlin

Hum…that's strange. I wonder why its asking for it? Seattle Bob, Just happy to be here.

I think it's refering to gadtools.library in the classes secton of workbench 3.0,but it may be just for compiling it or something.It also maynot work with less than 3.0 but it may work anyway cause i don't lnow,cause i have 3.0
