FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi,

New here. Playing around with textures. I've figured out how to make a basic texture pack, but can't get animated water to work. I see how others have done it: the 16x256 png in the default textures, for instance, but I can't get one to work. Any I create don't appear to flow. Just static image.

I'm using GIMP to create images. Is there a setting that needs to be checked/unchecked when exporting to PNG to make it work, or something else I'm missing?

Thanks!

If you look closely you can see each 16x16 area is slightly different. and Each Frame should be in the 16x16. So if need more an example be happy create a little example.

Only restriction is that it should have the same aspect ratio (i.e. default uses 16x256 [1:16], you can use 32x512, 64x1024, etc). Other than that it should work.

Can you post your (PNG) texture, and the filename you used?
Also, flowing water from the "minimal" game isn't animated. Check that you are not using the "minimal"/"Minimal Development Test" game.

Ahhh, okay. For some reason I thought the animation just advanced a pixel at a time rather than a frame at a time. All my frames were the same repeated seamless tile.

I put in some random splotches of color to test it, and it works now.

Thanks to you both!
