Confirmed something I'd be wondering about for a little while today: namely whether the client's texture animation system used in some zones (mostly for old water textures) could be applied to character model textures.
It can. Opens up the possibility of animated armor (I'm picturing a little gear turning in one of the gnome velious armor textures) and/or animated pet and NPC textures (dripping/maggoty zombies, pulsating fire elementals, that kind of thing).
If there's any interest in that I could make a tool to add the necessary data to whichever thing. It's a pretty simple system, just continuously swaps between images in a list every X milliseconds and starts again from the top when it reaches the end. No obvious limit to the number of "frames".
