Dannu:
I don't understand what you mean by each of the animations being exported as a separate dsq file. It might be just Port's exporter, but all of the animations are exported as a single file.

In addition to this, the extremely basic FAQ says that for setting priority of the animations, you are supposed to create a text block called Sequences.

It might be that Port's exporter has some unique quirks.

Edit:
Taking inspiration from something called TurbolaserTower that I had in my add-ons folder, I managed to get something into Blockland. I simply created sequences to which I added

--- Code: ---look: priority 8, blend
root: priority 0

--- End code ---

After that, I exported DTS (turret.dts) and DSQ (turret.dsq) as one file and coded it as follows:

--- Code: ---datablock TSShapeConstructor(TurretArtilleryDts)
{
baseShape = "./turret.dts";
sequence0 = "./turret.dsq look";
sequence1 = "./turret.dsq root";
};

--- End code ---

But now I have a problem.

My aim is pointing the wrong way. How can one go about fixing this?

Swollow:
they need to be exported as dsq files, and you can only export 1 animation at a time, my file includes both animations just so I didn't have to upload two animations
create each animation so it is the only one animation on your timeline, then export that as a dsq, you should save each blender file differently for the animations probably

and yes I included information on how to set the animations in the sequences text block, please re read my information

each dsq has to be a separate file, try importing the tank turrets dsq and dts files to have look

You should be able to select the start and end marker of an animation, export as .dsq, and check "Selection Only" to have it only export that sequence into a .dsq

didn't know you could do this, thanks

Conan:
optionally just specify sequence0 = “./filename.dsq”; and that will work. if no name for the animation is specified after the dsq, all animations within the dsq will retain their name and be available for use. if a name is specified, only the first animation in the dsq will be available to use, under that name
