I recently made a sliding door animation. i made a dummyroot and put in all objects
and now i try to export it i see no anim files. did i do it right? if not then can somebody help me.

If it's not working then you either didn't do it right or your munge files may need to be modified if using an OS other than XP.
The animation files you export from XSI will be msh files, you must pre-munge these using the .bat files before munging it all with VisualMunge.

Did you follow the tutorials or are you just guessing what to do as you go?

that is what i get did i do somethign wrong?

did you call the opening animation "open"?

yes i have a animation.msh a basepose.msh and a open.msh is there somethign im missing or is a animation.msh not needed? and is the basepose supposed to be a smaller size then the anim files
my basepose is 12 kb and my open is 7

you must call the openinganim "open" otherwise it will crash the game without warnings.
the basepose contains all the bones and hardpoints for the door while "open" contains the openinganimation

Provide a screen shot of the bone hierachy in xsi.

The floating bone error sometimes happens if you don't have a bone common to both the door parts.

meaning
bone_root
then
bone_door_left
bone_door_right
as children of bone root.
and all 3 bones need a key frame even if it is not moving or even has anything weighted to it(bone_root for example)

My XSI Foundation Trial ended so i opened it up in the mod tool version. This pic is of when i was exporting the anims.

did i do it wrong. I know i cant export anims till i get Foundation again but Just Advice for next time would be good

EDIT
And yes DarthD.U.C.K i have a basepose and a open.msh
would being on a 64 bit pc affect this? (BTW im using the BF1 mod tools"BFBuilder")
