I've been following the documentation and haven't been able to reproduce the animation I made for my farm building.
Does anyone know why nothing happens?

Code: Select all

Maybe you could show us these files to see what they look like:
"bmp" : "CowAnimation_0001_bmp.png",

"bmp" : "CowAnimation_0002_bmp.png",

"bmp" : "CowAnimation_0003_bmp.png",

"bmp" : "CowAnimation_0004_bmp.png",

Things to try (1 for sure):

1. animated should be animation.
2 loop - I am unaware of this tag.
(Unused tags are basically ignored.)

3. "handle interpolation" : 5, won't do anything if you are intending to move cows around the field and all your (x and y)s are 0.
