Animations in UIs

[Siliconmaster]

So to be clear the current fix allows scenery or devices to animate, but not vehicles and AI?

[Kornman00]

It allows any game object to perform whatever behavior it can do when it's 'active' (eg, animate). There are no plans to support effects or AI which need to be in a player's PVS before they're marked active.

Ah, I see. Cool.

So was this included in OS 3.1 and if so how can I use it to make a new mainmenu.map? or I should ask how do I set the flag.

[Kornman00]

I'm pretty sure you should be using the object_pvs_* script functions (which are stock). However, there's a project_yellow flag called "game updates ignore player pvs" which only works in mainmenu scenarios, and disables the object code which activate/deactivates objects in/out of the player's pvs
