Animation stupidity

[Guest]

This one is weird. If you place an animation on your map, but don't use the first frame of it, the animation "jumps" at certain points. Here's a demonstration WAD. The computer on the left uses the fifth or sixth frame of the animation, but the one on the right uses the first.

I don't suppose anybody else grabbed this while it was available, did they?

If he is talking about texture animations using animdefs, then i might be able to help. I also see a similar issue with it jumping.

Wad where, when?

Wad where, when?

Using the 2 files in this zip, goto map 30 and look at the slime falls. It should jump.

I apologize for the size of this,

Sorry, but I think yours is just a case of being preempted in a multitasking environment. It doesn't fit the description in the OP's post.

Oh well, worth a shot

I just did some checks with an existing 'range' animation and wasn't able to see any problem whatsoever. No matter which texture I put on the wall, they all animated with the same speed, no jumps or other strangeness.
