Thanks guys I will examine those to see what I'm missing. It seems like the old naming system was outdated if you have a mtl file. This is what I replied in the other post while trying to emulate the success of the fire orb (

I still can't seem to get this arc to animate fast with mtl file.
Since my last post, I finally got my arc to animate inside my lamp via the old way. The arc_.png was called onto a polygon as a texture inside the lantern.
Then in the same folder (.\obj\txt16\) I have the initial arc_.png, then, arc_0.png, arc_1.png, arc_2.png, ect....
After reading the materials doc, I made a matching named mtl file: arc_.mtl
First I tried a simple basic one I saw online:
force_ani_settings 1
force_full_alpha 1
ani_mode PINGPONG
ani_frames 0
ani_rate 10
It didn't work. The arc graphic looked to animate the same in-game.
Then I looked at another examples online then made it like this:
force_ani_settings 1
force_full_alpha
render_material_only 1
render_pass {
ani_mode PINGPONG
ani_rate 10
texture *_ 0 "$TEXTURE"
}
Still didn't work. I don't know what I am missing. PS. I will move the textures to another place to clean it up after I figure this out.

Did you seriously just obliterate the original title of this thread, such that anyone reading it for the first time will have no idea what it's about? A thread title isn't a freaking chat status.
