Hello, respectable community! Perhaps someone solved an analogous problem:
I'm trying to change the swinging speed of Animated trees (from the standard set of GG, such as: Spruce 01(Animated), Tree 09 (Animated) and etc).
I set animspeed=20(or even 5) and change the parameter vsync=1 to the setup.ini file (according to advice in one similar forum thread).
however, in the test mode, the speed of swaying trees remains visually unchanged.

Is there a chance to change the speed of animation of these trees using the capabilities of the GameGuru?
I would be grateful for any advice.

This is more then likely controlled in the shader. I will see if I can find it.

EDIT:
Found the article from Lee on this fro may of 2014. Let me retest his method.

Edit 2:
Tested again and it does appear that this is broken with the treeabasic.fx shader.
One more test.

I will need to go thru GitHub, as this indeed is broken now.

Pirate Myke, big thanks for the reply and for your time on it.

Hopefully this issue will be fixed in the future builds..

Taking over tree animations and speed via LUA has and does work fine for me. So if any changes are being made to this let me know because I actually have current projects relying on it. I don't believe shaders are involved here, just animation speed controls you can touch on in LUA.

Nice work mr T,that’s cool

Hey Teabone nice weather dealing there.

Animation speed is not controlled in the shaders , not saying that there is no problems with this , but it will never be shader related

@Teabone - just awesome!!

Are you using particle for the rain and snow?

Reliquia....

oh that was before particles. Its actually a much older video but recently uploaded.

Hi all! Found nuances with animated trees. If set the value defaultstatic = 0 then animspeed=XX starts working!
And even more: if animated trees have defaultstatic = 1 their animation plays fast like mad (which actually made me look for ways to change the animation speed of trees).
My conclusion: for animated plants need to set value defaultstatic = 0 in fpe.
But, I do not know how this will affect performance. On ~300 trees, I did not notice the difference between defaultstatic=0 and defaultstatic=1
However, in any case, I think this way is better than modifying the tree - making 1600 frames of animation in fragmotion (inserting 3 frames after each 1 original frame) to slow the swing speed

Thanks to Lafette II for his free trees: it was in their .fpe that I discovered the value defaultstatic = 0 and was puzzled, what motivated me to test on stock plants.

Excellent, Thank you for posting the solution.

After dozens of tests, it turned out that this is not the best solution yet...

All the same, performance decreases when the anim.trees are not static (the difference becomes noticeable at 500 trees and above).

In addition, collisionmode like 50-59 do not work as needed with dinamic entity (which have a value defaultstatic=0 in fpe).
But with defaultstatic=1 the animation of trees is mad again and not regulated through animspeed=XX, and this applies to any animated plants, including from third-party modellers.

Honestly, I do not know what to do: insert "excess" animation frames for each plant to slow down them (which will increase the number of frames by 4-5 times.. however, there is a suspicion that on different computers and monitor refresh rates the speed of tree animation will be different) ..or wait for bug fixes.
