    Animation or Progressbar while loading stuff - how?

    Hello,

    I am having a scene that shows wile loading imagelists or 3D objects and textures:

    Code:
    procedure TCommandoForm.do_loadingscene;
    var no: integer;
    begin
      if boolloaded=false then begin
        no:=random(9);
        if (no=0) or (lastscene=d3dlogo) then play_oggspeech('MC-please-stand-by-dist.ogg') else
        if no=1 then play_oggspeech('funk-dudel-dist.ogg') else
        if no=2 then play_oggspeech('funk-dudel-echo.ogg') else
        if no=3 then play_oggspeech('MC-pwease-stand-by1b-dist.ogg') else
        if no=4 then play_oggspeech('MC-pwease-stand-by2-dist.ogg') else
        if no=5 then play_oggspeech('MC-pwease-stand-by3-dist.ogg') else
        if no=6 then play_oggspeech('MC-pwease-stand-by4b-dist.ogg') else
        if no=7 then play_oggspeech('MC-pwease-stand-by5-dist.ogg') else
        if no=8 then play_oggspeech('MC-pwease-stand-by6b-dist.ogg');
        boolloaded:=true;
      end;
      xenScreen.BeginRender;
      xenScreen.ClearScreen(0,0,0,0);
      set_camera;
      draw_skymap;
      set_sunlight;
      draw_asteroids(false);
      xenscreen.device.setrenderstate(d3drs_alphablendenable,dword(true));
      xenscreen.Device.setTextureStageState(0, D3DTSS_COLOROP,D3DTOP_modulate);
      xenscreen.Device.setTextureStageState(0, D3DTSS_COLORARG1, D3DTA_texture);
      xenscreen.Device.setTextureStageState(1, D3DTSS_COLOROP,D3DTOP_modulate);
      xenscreen.Device.setTextureStageState(1, D3DTSS_COLORARG1, D3DTA_diffuse);
      imagelistloading.ImageList.Items[0].draw(350,350,0,0.5,0.5,1,1,255,255,255,255,false,0,bmnormal);
      if nextscene=glevelsurface then printmidfast(250,'LOADING SURFACE MISSION...') else
      if nextscene=gstormspace then printmidfast(250,'LOADING ASTEROID STORM BONUS MISSION...') else
      if nextscene=glevelspace then printmidfast(250,'LOADING SPACE MISSION...') else
      if nextscene=gshop then printmidfast(250,'LOADING SHOP AND SPACE MISSION...') else
      if nextscene=d3dmap then printmidfast(250,'LOADING 3D XENIDIS MAP') else
      if nextscene=d3dintro then printmidfast(250,'LOADING INTRO...') else
      if nextscene=gmedicspace then printmidfast(250,'LOADING MEDIC BONUS MISSION');
      printmidfast(500,sloadtext);
      printmidfast(530,sloadtext2);
      xenscreen.EndRender;
    end;
    Nothing special. The Omegatimer is still enbled.
    So it should be called from time to time.
    but it does not, it is called one time and shows a screen but the when I start loading, it is not called anymore by the timer. I would like to have a progressbar here but it wont move.

    In the routine where I load all the needed stuff, I added some application.ProcessMessages;
    between two loadings but does not seem to help?
    How do I get the timer also working when loading imagelists or 3D stuff?

    Thanks,

    Animation or Progressbar while loading stuff - how?

    No Problem, I am just calling do_loadingscene now manually after loading each single imagelist and then it slowly moves.

    Another suggestion would be to have the another thread which checks and reports on progress.
