Ok I am working on a new map with a buddy of mine (stallion-david) I am doing the renx and helpign with level edit and he is designing and doing most the level edit stuff. ( I dont like doing stuff in level edit, building controllers, pts, ect.) Anyway, I am running into some animation and textureing issues on the map. First question is, How do I make text and add a picture onto an object? Second question, I made a chest that is animated to open on the top (which slides back) and the front (which slides to the left and right, 2 doors) It works fine but the door closes and opens way to fast. I need to figure out how to slow it down and to if possible to keep the door open while there in it. Cause its a walk in chest that can close u around it.

Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.

Fine I'll answer it then, to make the animation take more time you must change it in Renx (Make the frame count larger example: 10=>100) and then adjust the animation to match the frame count. Then export it and change the number of frames in the export screen to match.

Colonel

as well as what Jerad has said,

You can also adjust the FPS of the animation in renx

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l237/paulchettle/anim_fps.jpg

open up diffrent ww animations in W3D viewer and you can see the diffrent frames per second that some of the animations are set to near the bottom right hand corner of the viewer for example doors usually open at 30 FPS and sandbagwalls fall at 20 FPS

adjusting your animations FPS will in theory make your work more efficent when played in game.

If your talking about time look below. But if you are talking about the doors closing when you are in between them you will have to work on the zones. You can do that through the "Zones" tab, make sure the zone is in between the doors where you could stand.
