LoopEnd

From ModEnc²
Tiberian Dawn Red Alert Tiberian Sun Firestorm Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge
Flag: LoopEnd
File(s): Art(md).ini
Values: Unsigned integers
Default: last frame of the animation
Applicable to: Animations


Specifies the 1-based ending frame for this animation when the total number of iterations is more than one.

It should be noted that while as a rule it is an exclusive end frame, this isn't always the case, there are exceptions where the LoopEnd has to be 1 less than the expected value. One example being the Iron Curtain animations that use NAIRON_F as the artwork. Why this happens is unclear, but it might be related to the .shp compression used, relegating it to some legacy/alternative code path.

Notes

A negative LoopEnd value will cause it to use the End value of the same Animation as its own value, even though the two not operate in the same way.
