Hi,
im working on a new track and wanted to add the crow of the new mxu.res files
i placed the animal-res into my usermodels folder and add 2 crows in dillo2 0.974 to my track, its working fine, but mcm2 crashes as i finish or cancle a race.
Any ideas whats wrong?

Sometimes animated objects take using a "trail-and-error" approach to get working. I would suggest copying the placement data of the bird (write it down) and delete it and save your track. Go ride it without the animation and see if you get any problems. If you don't...then open your track in Dillo Too again and place the animated object using the MANUAL placement option and type in the placement data you copied earlier. Then save your track again and run the same test as before. If it STILL happens ONLY in the track with the animated object...then you're probably going to have to forget about using that animated object.

Let me know what you find out. If this stuff was easy...everybody would do it! 

Try this:

select the crow object

in the  properties drop down the motions property and  pUt a check in each box

then enter a series of comma seperated  numbers  in the motion sequence property 

eg 2,3,1,4

the number must be between 1 and 4 - the number of motions in the  motions property drop down.

Yes, its just the crow. I tried many different ways to make a bundle, but nothing worked yet. I also placed some static MXU-Objects and i noticed that the replays of this track crash sometimes. It doesn't happened before i placed em, so the mistake should be located anywhere in this edge. Up to now I got a stable bundle with some static mxu-objects (just the crow is missing) and I'll upload this version in the next day, if i dont figure it out.
Thx for ur ideas Diablo

Ty Bruce! That was my mistake. I didnt know about the motion sequence numbers.
Its working now without problems.

Err I think you mean

oh lol, sorry Laurie!
I said the crow is working, that was wrong as I had to notice today the crow is flapping with its wings but it's not moving. As Im going to add the sequence 1 (is that the splinepath?) the game crashes again (after leaving the track). So in my motion properties are just 3 different animations listed:
Nat09Crowfly, Nat09Crowtal...,Nat09Crowldle... shouldn't it be 4 vues?
and they are listed as 0,1,2 in "motion" window
^^I tried these series of numbers in the "sequence of motion" and also 1-4 (like u said) or 0-2 and 0-3 in serveral sequences without any success.
Im mostly at Pauls tip and cancle the idea of an crow on this track 

Sorry the  new  crows l am  using have 4 motions.

you  should use 1-3

start with idle then tal and then fly and  finally  tal

Something like
3,2,1,2,3,3

with more than 1  crow use more idles to offset the flights.

I added the crow now. It wasnt working until I checked the expert mode in dillo2 (and the sequence numbers). Thx for the quick help!
