What are our options for a high quality fully animated mainhall? To put it in context we have a render of a sausage shaped space station spinning which takes up about 4/5ths of the Main Hall screen. Currently to make it work I had to make the 4/5ths of the screen featuring the spinning space station into a 256 colour .ani file  :(. This is told to animate immediately (looping) in the mainhall.tbl . Are there any better options?

Options:

1) Scripting
2) Wait for the new 24-bit animation format for use on the interface

That's pretty much it.

Can someone clarify the last three posts for me regarding the 24 bit animation? Is it in 3.6.9? Is it not? Now do I use it? How long is this delay? I would appreciate the advice. Thanks.

Tolwyn’s reputation for risk taking with other people’s lives was considered  to understate the facts. The admiral’s willingness to sacrifice anyone or anything to achieve his objectives had long been lauded in the popular press. He was “the man who got things done”.- Colonel Blair
