nVolt must be installed in : Your Documents\nVolt\nVolt.exe (just extract to your documents)
FreeVolts must be installed in: C:\windows\rv2.exe (extract to C:\Windows or your Windows directory)

Texture animation

Texture animation file

Texture animation file is an ASCII-text file which structure is like the following:

Frame 0
Texture: G
Time: 0,01
uv1: 0,12x0,54
uv2: 0x0,57
uv3: 0x0,5
uv4: 0,2x0,5
End Frame

Frame 1
Texture: G
Time: 0,01
uv1: 0,11934x0,54
uv2: -0,00066x0,57
uv3: -0,00066x0,5
uv4: 0,19934x0,5
End Frame

More general:

Frame N
Texture: <Tex>
Time: 0.001
uv1: UxV
uv2: UxV
uv3: UxV
uv4: UxV
End frame

Where U and V are two float numbers from 0~1

Name	Usage
Tpage Texture	Texture
Time Delay	Delay of frame
Uv1 Uv2 Uv3 Uv4	UV map

KEYS (Texture animation for ‘ta’ )

Name	Usage
Tpage	Texture
Time / delay	Delay of frame
U0, v0, u1, v1 … u3,v3	UV map
