A couple of things to note: by doing this you aren't actually removing the animation data (that is stored elsewere, under the bones section) it's all still there taking up space, you are just hiding it from the game engine.
You could achieve the very same result by just renaming the animations into some jibberish such as trololostand and nyancatwalk, if you change your mind later and want the animations back, all you have to do is revert the names to the previous state.
Also if you use Magos' model editor you can rename the animations in the sequence manager, without even converting to MDL.

thanks any way ,but this tut is for lazy people and people that need this somehow
thanks again

 

[Magtheridon96]

But then there's no point. The point of removing an animation from a model is to reduce the file size. This would keep the animation, but hide it from the Game Engine as Nasrudin said, which is as effective as not using the animation in game at all.

You should change this tutorial to teach people how to actually remove the animations using a Model editor.

 

[stonneash]

ur righ tbut if u had something like:
stand - 1
stand - 2
stand - 3
stand - 4
stand - 5
red part is something isn't related to my rpg so i remove it,this is an easy way,but not the best
{ + }easy
{ + }done quickly
{ + }no need for many tools
{ - }anim data is still there:_(

The easiest way would probably be to just use Oinkerwinkle's anim remove tool. (I don't remember whether you have to delete the sequence afterward or not, but it does remove the data that isn't removed through this technique)

Anyway, I appreciate the tutorial but it should be done with the method that gives the best results. =)

Actually, you can "delete" animations using mdlvis or magos model editor. Easier to do than deleting it in notepad where you might accidentally delete important syntax used by the model.

not really sure but i think that mdlvis is somehow better for removing animations, it removes them in a "better" way than magos model editor does...

 

[PurgeandFire]

As previously said, this should be updated to include information about the proper process of removing animations.. I recommend you use mdlvis or oinker's anim remove.

No updates. Graveyarded for now. Let me know if you wish for it to be moved back.
