]Can someone make ANI's Mappable onto FS ships, I have had a look at the FS source but that section looks complex[/color]

Post by: Nico on April 28, 2002, 03:20:34 pm: I'd need it for various stuff actually. Would be great as background, too.

WAIT A MINUTE!! The subspace opening POF model has the subspace effect ANI mapped onto it! Open up the code! Somebody look into it! :eek:

hey dude! what's wrong with your eyes???
Title: Can someone make ANI's Mappable
Post by: Galemp on April 28, 2002, 05:17:56 pm: I can't look into it because all I code are tables and SEXPs. I don't know a character of anything else.

Or do you mean this? :eek: Now those eyes are funky.

Post by: Bobboau on April 28, 2002, 05:44:55 pm: subspace does not have an ani mapped on it, it's a simple pcx on a rotating subspace model, with animated UV space

Post by: LtNarol on April 28, 2002, 06:29:24 pm: he meant the warpin/warpout effects, and those are definitely mapped with anis
Title: Can someone make ANI's Mappable
Post by: EdrickV on April 28, 2002, 07:23:28 pm: The big difference between the warpout and ships is that it is done as a fireball. Explosions are animations as well. The texturing data from the pof file (if the pof is even used) seems to be ignored as far as I can tell. (Probably a change made so they could have two different types: Regular and knossos. There is also a PCX used for the warpin/out effect. My guess is the PCX is placed on the model if a model is even used and the animation is shown on the screen.

Edit: A clarification. The warp hole model is not texture mapped. So ani files as textures is not yet supported. In game anis are. :)

Post by: Styxx on April 28, 2002, 08:07:23 pm: Actually, the best place to look would be the section that controls the thruster flames...
Title: Can someone make ANI's Mappable
Post by: Bobboau on April 28, 2002, 09:18:19 pm: yes they are submodels and they also feature ambiant glow, and transparency
Title: Can someone make ANI's Mappable
Post by: Styxx on April 28, 2002, 09:26:12 pm: Yeah, so, it's indeed the best place. Go take a look and then tell us. ;)

Post by: Setekh on April 29, 2002, 03:37:43 am: Someone, it could have been Sandwich, already did this... mimic'd an animated texture area by imitating the characteristics of a thruster flame. Made an animated warp gate of some sort...
