  1. Tried almost all of the sound files. They work fine in the windows media player but none will play in AM.
  2. Right click double click anywhere in AM no sound. Right clicking brings up the PLAY button - no sound. Double click from Windows desktop and they all play immediately with windows media player.
  3. Have tried installing v18 - no sound yet sound plays fine everywhere else in the Windows world EXCEPT AM. Haven't got a clue what to do so any help would be appreciated, heck I'll do some professional art or design for anyone who solves this for me! (serious)
  4. Still no sound. Anybody know of a fix?
  5. ok thanks, also the sounds play fine in the windows media player.
  6. Update on sound- still no sound in spite of installing v18. System sound still working fine everywhere else.
  7. Robcat you had noticed that environment maps were only using the top half of the image (when you helped me with env. maps a while back)

    Was there any resolution to that problem?  Now I'm running into it.

      Unfortunately,  it's not an "assigned" problem yet.

      You can install v18 and use that for now.

      after you install it, copy your master0.lic file from v19 to v18

      Also try your sound problem on that.

      I'll try that. Is v18 on the website somewhere?

      They have an ftp site where old versions can be found.

      ftp://ftp.hash.com/pub/updates/windows/

      With your subscription license you can run versions 15 and later.

  8. Windows 7, AM v.19Oi. System sound working fine. Import sound "cartoonhammer" from AM disc, dragged onto action, dragged onto chor but no sound plays. System sound is working. Right clicking on sound file and Play but no sound. What am I doing wrong???
  9. Sorry, did you send me a sample prj?  If so then I somehow missed it so please send it again and I'll try it.

    thanks

    Found the TransparencyAction.prj - says its unavailable.

      I know it's there, i just re-downloaded it.

      I've sent a PM to Jason to ask if there is anything weird about your accounts permissions. Something must be mis set to keep you from replying or down loading attachments.

      In the mean time... can you see it here?:

      Am looking at the thread. Under Recent Posts/content I started - am I in the wrong place?

  11. Stop the presses! Now the transp. in Action works.

    v.Oi Action now shows the transp. channels listed with the bone channels in the tree and it's working! Whereas before only the animated bone channels were listed. (even after turning "list all" icon on.)

    Thanks again robcat, if it weren't for you guys still there I'd have been forced to give up on A.M. a long time ago.

    Here's a pic from my project (if I haven't sent this already)

      Many thanks. So you just assigned surface properties instead of making a material assigned to a group. OK but you had the same result. So I'm NOT hallucinating again (tho oft times I miss them).

      Let me know if there is any update in the future on this please. At eas602@sbcglobal.net and thanks so much for your time helping me on this. Till then I guess I'll just keep the Action window open.

      What is your result when you try my sample prj?

      Ok I'm looking at the "thread"  Under Recent Posts/content I started.  Am I in the wrong place??

  12. Robcat. installed v.Oi as suggested. No difference. Created animated transp. channels in Action for the Group. Closed Action. Reopened same action - no channels. (made sure groups are listed in the tree)

    Double checked to see that I'm running v.Oi - yes.

    Would like to send the Action file but it won't save the channels.

    What am I doing wrong????

  13. Hey. back again with the Action/transparency thing. I thought that maybe my chor. was messed up so I made a new prj from scratch and was able to duplicate the problem.

    Made 2 spheres, making each one a group, assigned a material to each, Opened an Action with them and proceeded to animate the transparency levels - all works fine, the 2 spheres alternate on and off (see attached Action screen shot)

    Close the Action window and when I reopened it everything was there except the animated channels.

    The prj file attached is after said channels vanished into the night. I'm using v.19oh. Are you using same? If you're able to do this but I'm not then I must be doing something different.

    Thanks for your help robcat. Let me know when you get a chance.

  14. robcat thanks for the response. I go thru this every time using the forum. I'm looking at your response and NOWHERE do I see a button that says "respond" so I'm writing this directly to your link.

    As for the Action transparency issue. I was doing exactly what you were suggesting. Created groups, assigned material to those groups and then made keyframes in Action animating the levels of transp. (making lights blink on and off) EXACTLY as you described and when I bring it into the chor. - NO animated transp. Upon re-opening the Action file the transp. animation channels are all GONE. I would send the prj file but it's massive with 5 characters and a shitload of props and images used throughout.

    I'll try to repeat the problem with a simplified project file and send it along to the forum.

    thanks

  15. Thanks again robcat you always come to my rescue.
  16. Yes it's between the show rulers and snap bias to grid buttons on the toolbar at the top towards the right end.
  17. Is there an updated manual somewhere? Constantly running across little things in the toolbars/interface like "respect z order" on the toolbar and other things I can't find in the manual that I downloaded with v19oh. Would like to know how to use these things. Any help appreciated.
  18. Got a character constrained to a path-when it reaches the end of the path I want to have it sit down but when I add keyframes it makes a keyframe at frame 1 of the chor. - wiping out all the previous animation for that joint. I know chor. animations take priority over actions but isn't there a way to BLEND the two?? Thanks in advance.
  19. Thought something didn't look right. If I wanted to use v19g - where do I find that? And as always thanks for answering robcat.
  20. Got it. Thanks. I was moving the object laterally and not seeing any movement but once rotated like yours it became apparent. Much obliged.
  21. OK OK I should know how to do this by now and I've done it in the past but now can't get environment maps to work - they're sticking like decals. AM v19oh on Windows OS7 New material - attribute/plugins/hash/environment maps and Global axis is ON and the object is moving around in Chor. but environment map is sticking like decal. Any help appreciated.
  22. Is it just me? Where on this page do I respond to people's replies?

      Let me know when/if it changes. It looks normal to me so it must be some blip in user privilege settings.

  23. Also you can email me at eas602@sbcglobal.net as I'm having trouble using the forum.

  24. robcat thanks for responding to my post on the forum re Channels disappearing. Could not figure out how to respond to your message on the forum - not respond button. such an idiot am I.

    anyways I can't reproduce the problem deliberately yet it keeps happening and oddly not to the model I'm trying to edit in the Action or Model window. It picks on some other Model in the chor. I'll try again and do some screen grabs to send.

    thanks again

  25. Yes I just installed it over the current and it didn't ask for serial so I'll try that (waiting til it expires and try again and delete the master0.lic file) Thank you!
