I've come across something really strange when working on COTS.

I extracted some excellent head ani's from the Blue Planet mod/campaign. In BP, they were used to replace the standard set of Command heads. I jsut wanted extras. So I re-named them appropriately  (head-cm6, a, b & c ;  head-cm7a, b and c, etc..)
I noticed the following problems:

- They don't show up in the dropdown list in FRED (I assumed FRED looks up for a proper name and loads it), you have to use browse to select them

- They don't show up in game (tried in the few of the latest builds, including Chiefs')

Can a code-wizzard comment on this? Is it supposed to work like this? Is there a hardcoded limit for 5 command head anis?

I'm guessing you have to edit the messages.tbl

Still doesn't explain why ani's imported with the browse function don't show up.

Yello? Can someone please help me understand this?


And Snail, messages.tbl is only for personas, not for the avis'.


EDIT: Got it to work.

Apparently, altough I have Head-Cm7 a,b and c files, like all command heads do, when I hit briwse I can't select and import them. I have to remove the a/b/c part. FS picks one automaticely.

That would explain a lot.
