Code: Select all

Texture TITLEPIC
    pic "Graphics/Titlepicanim/TITLE00.PNG" tics 2 
    pic "Graphics/Titlepicanim/TITLE01.PNG" tics 2 
    pic "Graphics/Titlepicanim/TITLE03.PNG" tics 2
    pic "Graphics/Titlepicanim/TITLE04.PNG" tics 2

It must be Texture TITLEPIC not TEXTURE Graphics/TITLEPIC

Sorry for my stupidness, but I have the same trouble as OP had.
Can somebody explain me please how to correct define multiple TITLEPIC's *.png, since file name limited only 8 characters?

MAPINFO

Code: Select all

gameinfo
{ titlepage = "TITLEPIC" }
ANIMDEFS

Code: Select all

TEXTURE Graphics/TITLEPIC
	pic "Graphics/TITLEPIC01" tics 7
   pic "Graphics/TITLEPIC02" tics 7 
	pic "Graphics/TITLEPIC03" tics 7 
	pic "Graphics/TITLEPIC04" tics 7

Not on Conback. That is set up differently. I won't change this because it can be activated in game where an oversized animation for that image can really cause serious problems if it fills up the entire GPU memory.
CREDITS is run through the same code as TITLEPIC so that should work as-is.

No, that's not the same - the engine won't even pick your TITLEPIC.PNG as the default but (guess what?) the last frame you saw on various occasions because that's the last found name which truncated to 8 characters results in TITLEPIC.
Yeah, I've noticed after I've uploaded.
Thanks for the fix!
This should also work on Credits and conback, right?

Animated Titlepic [GZD 3.4.1] is not working.
Only Last Frame is showing in the TITLEPIC, instead of the entire animation.
