Update coming! Brave testers needed!

[The chaser]

I haven't been paying close attention to the Beta of the patch, but in it's current form. Do animations made in Blender and exported to Amnesia work correctly?

I've been getting into animations the past week, but I don't know where to start where I can get them working in Amnesia.

Simple and not-that-complicated rigs work, even some animations work.

To have it working is simple:

-Make the animation
-Export it as a .dae
-Change it's name from animation.dae to animation.dae_anim
-Open the model editor and go to Animations
-Create a new one and load your animation

This is the basic overview. If you want a deeper look, P.M me

You don't sound too sure to what and doesn't work...

Example 1: I have a Excavator with a couple of bones to bend, scoop and deposit dirt.
I can have a couple of animations pre-planned and execute them in Amnesia?

Example 2: I can export a monster with fully working animations.

Example 3: I can import a creature with bones to make a ragdoll.

Would any or all of them work to your knowledge?

Example 1: Yep. Make an animation for each of the movements (bend, scoop, and deposit) and save them as "scoop.dae", "bend.dae", "deposit.dae" in your Animations folder (which should be inside your model folder). Then, change their extension from .dae to .dae_anim.

When you want the object to make the animation, use the code line:

PlayPropAnimation("Yourmodel", "Yourmodelfolder/Animations/bend.dae_anim", 0.1,
false, "");

Example 2: I haven't experimented much to be sincere, but by the moment my animations with bones work, so that's something.

Example 3: Bones can be exported correctly with the new update, so I guess you won't have much problems making a ragdoll (I haven't made any though)
