New to this forum and in everything about modding.

So I got a little bit of knowledge about how generals engine works and about making 3D models (the basics).
I have RenX and I just wonder why when I import for example the vanilla overlord tank in RenX and export it without a single change in game the threads on the wheels are not moving?

I know the basics that I don't need to export the geometry for bones and I don't do that. Everything else in the model works as expected, the tank threads are also mapped with the proper texture but no animation.

I also know that this code
Code:


    TrackMarks           = EXTnkTrack.tga
    OkToChangeModelColor = Yes
    TreadAnimationRate = 2.0;  amount of tread texture to move per second
    TreadDriveSpeedFraction = 0.3  ; fraction of locomotor speed below which treads stop moving.
    TreadPivotSpeedFraction = 0.6  ; fraction of locomotor speed below which we allow pivoting.

End

is the actual animation of the thread. It's just moving the texture.
I've heard about animated textures and got no clue about any of that but I haven't actually changed any texture or anything, so why wouldn't it animate?
What am I missing?

Thank you very much in advance!

yea thread animations are moving textures scrolling textures to be exact - you can achieve the thread animation by applying a texture via renegade material editor

other info is in this:
