Milkshape- my animations keep merging

[dariidar]

I created 2 animations in milkshape, one is stand-1 and the other is stand-2. Stand-1 is keyframes 1-30, and it's simply the character breathing up and down.stand-2 is keyframes 35-65, and the character moves his sword around a little. I ran zero joints before animating. Before I'd added stand-2, stand-1 worked just fine, he bobbed up and down and it looked pretty good .
But after I added stand-2, the stand-1 animation got all screwed up, and now it looks like it's merging with stand-2 to make one really long animation. The character bobs up and down but the sword is moving as well.
I made sure that the last keyframe of stand-1 and the beginning keyframe of stand-2 were the same as the beginning keyframe of stand-1, but for some reason the animations still merged, and I'm pretty sure the last keyframe of stand-1 and the beginning keyframe of stand-2 didn't set.
How do I fix that? Do I have to run zero joints after creating each animation?

No, do not run zero joints after each animation. You'll notice it will asplode your animations if the keyframes are already set.

Did you edit the .mdl of the model?
Typically if you export directly as an .mdx, it creates one long animation, which would include both stand 1 and stand 2.

yea only run it first and once then animate everything after and it should be all good.

@ES: i do that all the time but i write the animations in the comment box, so maybe he didnt do that?

 

[dariidar]

No, everything's in comments as I specified in the first post.
I meant that there are 2 animations, stand-1 and stand-2, but stand-1 no longer looks like the unit's breathing up and down, it's sorta merged with stand-2.

You probably didn't set all the keyframes for every joint until you used them, thus they will work together as one massive animation. Remember to set keyframes for all joints at the beginning and end of every animation.

Kay, I'll try that.
One last question, how many keyframes are in one second of animation?

 

[ElectricSaiyan]

24 frames = 1 second.

I don't Bronald. I stick to the good old Oinkerwinkle's header tool
Using comments would be a lot easier though lol..

oh lol i was taught to use the comment box, but whatever floats your boat

and i think donut wins this O_O
