Screen flashing with unloaded animation resource pack
nthxny opened this issue ยท 3 comments
If the resource pack an animation is using is not available, the entire screen flashes repeatedly. OBS isn't picking it up but it's flashing extremely fast, near the refresh rate of the animation. I'm making another bug report because this is potentially dangerous for people with epilepsy to have a full screen flashing at this frequency. I have a friend with it and I don't want to swap to PackMenu over this issue.
Can you please check if the resource pack for the selected animation is loaded, and not play the broken animation? This is not simply user error, there are all kinds of scenarios where this can happen accidentally. For example, if I exported the curseforge profile for the modpack and sent it to a friend, they wouldn't have this resource pack enabled without setting up DefaultOptions. They would get flashing on their first load.

I didn't think of potential dangers for people with epilepsy, I'm sorry for that. For me it's just a normal thing that happens when textures are missing. Thank you for making me aware of it.
There will be a better way to load animation packs very soon, so they will be enabled by default and will be loaded like other layout resources, so it should fix itself.
I will try to add a check to completely prevent it from happening, but until the update is released, the new method mentioned above will be a very good workaround or even a fix.
Still waiting for the mod that is needed for this new method to get approved by CurseForge, but should be ready on Monday or Tuesday.
Load My Resources is now available to load the resources on game start. You can download the newest Animation Maker update and repack the animation to convert them to the new format needed for LMR or you can just copy the content of the animation resource pack assets folder to .minecraft/resources. Don't forget to remove the old animation resource pack from .minecraft/resourcepacks :)
The wiki got updated and explains how to load animations with the LMR mod a bit more in detail.
