    I have posted a poll to determine whether the populous supports continually looping animated MePo's or animation that stops after one cycle.

    Let me know. Thanks

    I like it looping endlessly but don't really mind too much. Your animations are great and I'd like them in any way.

    Appreciate the work you put in :)

    My son says: endessly... i say: it's better to have it once and then stop... first time it could be nice to have it always moving... but after some months using the skin... well, i think that it's better to not abuse with animations...

    maybe a good solution is to make a batch file that can change between the two options?
    Ideally it would be good to see an option in config somewhere near the "enable animations" option, but let's not scare Glenn with talk like that at this stage ;-)

    I think even just post the difference in code so people can change it themselves. It's impossible to please everyone. I understand that there are different individual images for the different options, but that shouldn't stop people modifying for endless as opposed to ending.

    Glenn, what are your thoughts on that? May save you a lot of work....

    When I get home, I'll see whether this was a dumb comment and it already works this way.

    MePo animations could be looped, but make it so the default is to have no MePos selected when going to the home screen (either at start, or when returning from in-program), and make it possible to select a non-animated resting spot.

    just as a little hint... it would be also *technically* possible to make some kind of seamless-always-looping-IDLE-animation for non-focus and another animation for focus (like *wink*)

    Tested the new animations.
    For me the two loops with and end are perfect:
    not too short, not too long, not annoying after a while, just perfect.
