night animation problem

I've made a building with 4 subvariants which holds different night animations.The building was not supposed to be rotation-aware. But for some reason it is not working. Here's the code:
Code: Select all
[
{
"id":"SomeSC4Fan.TranoGasy.Zone",
"title":"Trano Gasy",
"text":"For Malagasy-Themed towns. Or maybe not ?",
"type":"zone",
"author":"Some SC4 Fan",
"rci":true,
"separator":true,
"base":"$zoneresidential",
"frames":[{"bmp":"Frame.png"}],
"preview frames":[{"bmp":"Preview Frame.png"}],
"price":30,
"superior to base":true,
"placeable":true,
"persistent":true
},
{
"id":"SomeSC4Fan.TranoGasy.1x1_I.night",
"type":"animation",
"frames":[{"bmp":"1x1_I_night.png"}],
"light":true,
"light switching":true
},
{
"id":"SomeSC4Fan.TranoGasy.1x1_I",
"type":"residential",
"zone":"SomeSC4Fan.TranoGasy.Zone",
"author":"Some SC4 Fan",
"frames":[{"bmp":"1x1_I.png","w":32,"count":4}],
"habitants":11,
"width":1,
"height":1,
"draw ground":true,
"animation":[{"id":"SomeSC4Fan.TranoGasy.1x1_I.night","y":-24}],
"influence culture":1
}
]
... And there's the result.
The night animation of the 3 other subvariants are "stuck" with the building's respective one. What's the problem here?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not 100% sure this will work but try adding something like this to the animation frames:
Code: Select all
"frames": [{"bmp": "1x1_I_night.png", "w": <number>, "count": 4}],

sorry to deceive you, but it didn't work. Now the night animations are flushing.

You can't create night animation 'variants' without using lua as far as I'm aware. Try separating the png into windows and define them as separate drafts.

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought was going to happen.
