Disabling Animated Lcars?
« on: December 26, 2007, 09:11:58 AM »
Hi Guys.  Happy holidays.  I had a question for..well..whoever would know this.  Is there any way to disable the animated lcars on a specific bridge, to enable Alert Status Swapping on those lcars?  It's something i've been struggling with for a long time.

Take a look at the config panel of BPCore, assuming you have UMM.

I am afraid you can only turn off animated maps and/or map swapping.
Alert Status swaping is part of the map swapping.

so there's no other way within the actual coding of a bridge to take a  certain texture and stop it from being animated so BPCore can do it's thing?

If I'm getting what you are saying, then you want to stop a nif based texture animation?
Then no, you can't do that. Not even with BPCore.

But if it's an animated map (the BPCore version) then you can edit the bridge plugin (of the bridge in question) to take out the animated aspect (or introduce it).
But this isn't possible through the config menu.

no man.  I guess what i was trying to do was disable animated maps that are already coded into the nif.  Because i want to make use of BPCore based texture swapping at alert status changes. 

My problems is that the Lcars are already programmed to do animations at Cond. Green, and once texture swapping is coded into the NIF, BPCore cant do any status change swapping. 

That's one of the things i loved about the Intrepid Bridgd 3.2, was that there is virtually no animated lcars coded into the NIF, so you can do a world of changes to the lcars when goign to Red Alert. 

The one i was looking at this time around was the generations galaxy bridge.  I got the side lcars to change, but the back ones are animated (very slowly and with only 3 texture sets) but still enough to stop alert status swapping. 

So basically yes, you've answered my question, there's nothing i can do about it.

Thanks.
