Title: *.ani file directory?
Post by: ns33 on January 22, 2002, 07:06:00 pm

Okay. This was on the VBB FRED2 forum, but there was just a lot of useless stuff. I dunno if this is modding, but at least some help would be nice...

I'm doing a campaign currently and am searching for a directory of *.ani files used in the FS2 main campaign. You know, those animations at the bottom of Command Briefings. Does anyone know where to get a directory of all the *.ani files in the game? That could be really helpful. I'm doing right now is going through other people's campaigns to pull out the *.ani files to create my own "directory", but its not as filled as it should be. Any help anyone?

Storing files. Goto http://www.descent-network.com/descman/ ("http://www.descent-network.com/descman/")  and get the Freespace kit, and open a .VP file with VPView.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

someone else welcome him, im too tired

.vp files are compressed storage files that store mostly everything in the game. You need vpview32 to view their contents. The Command Breifings are in tango1_fs2.vp tango2_fs2.vp and tango3_fs2.vp according to their respected acts. you need aniview32 to um, well you can figure that out.
