Our ReVolt Pub

i just noticed the fire and moving head of the dragon in toyrace (only took 10 years!)

anyone got any tips about how the engine makes this work? the .m file i presume?

yeah its an animated model, but i have no idea how to edit this thing. i think the movement is stored in the exe itself.
m=prm with a different extension.
also, if you try to add your own model into the models folder revolt wont detect it.

i looked at the fob file and it is used to put "objects" around the map, like pickups and things like the hose and sprinkler in nhood

these numbers are hardwired into the revolt.exe in that it lists 50 .m files in order and you need to put the right number into the .fob file (in binary of course)

There is two file 'dragon2.m' and 'dragon3.m' for the dragon's moving head. The body is in another file (dragon1.m).
I'm quite sure the movement is not in the stored in the exe. I think that there is an interpolation calculated for each frame between the two head meshes during the game.

EDIT: I can add that only position and normals from the second mesh are used. Texturing and property (vertex color, transparency, etc.) are taken from the first mesh, they are not even specified in the second mesh.

Instances and Objects are not the same. You can replace them.

i think it's embedded in model
