This is something i really would love to do, i would like to make animated textures, like monitors playing a sequence of images, or special effects with lights, having them flickering and so one, i´ve seen some of those animated textures in the missions "Strife" by Ricebug, or the "icy base" by Independent Thief. i´m creating a spaceship and it would fit very well animated textures there.
I really would be very gratefull if someone kindly explains me how to do it.

Save each frame of your animation with a certain name and thief will loop through them, for example name the first texture monitor_.tga (or whatever you use) then subsequent frames should be named monitor_1, monitor_2 etc.
Up to 20 I think, including the base one so stop at _19 :thumb:
Thats it, then just load_a_texture in dromed and select monitor_

If memory serves, only object textures need the underscore in the first texture name.

Correct. Pedro, look at the original water textures (waterhw family) for an example of how it works. You're basically following the same model.

The original resources are the .crf files in Thief2\res\
The water is in fam.crf, since it's a terrain texture.

Does that imply to replace the original water textures? there are files in the thief 2 directory wich i don´t have acess, like the sounds, textures, and other things, am i missing something?
