Title: FS2 Hi-Res ANIs [RELEASE!]
Post by: mjn.mixael on May 28, 2011, 11:49:27 am
Ladies and Gents

It gives me great pleasure to release to you this day the hi-res CB Anim pack!

On behalf of myself and the FSU team, thanks for your patience and help! Many of these are only completed because of the work that members of the community put in for me. I believe it's time to reap the benefits. This pack includes all command brief anims used in the retail Freespace 2 campaign. It also includes all the tech anims for weapons used in the tech room. The rest of the tech room anims will be completed when the cutscene upgrade project is complete.

The pack is split into two VP files that should be placed in your MediaVPs_3612 folder. These are big downloads, so be patient. So without further delay..

Download
Other mirrors pending

Figured I'd go ahead and point this out.

<@Axem> MjnMixael: there's only one bad thing about your new anis
<@Axem> the banding is even more apparent :( (not your fault i know)
...
<MjnMixael> Axem: I actually was going to do an EFF pack
<MjnMixael> but I ran into the 32 character limit really fast
<@Axem> ;_;
<MjnMixael> 2_tech_gti_tag_missile_c_0000.png
<MjnMixael> that's the required syntax for an eff for that anim
<MjnMixael> and that's not even the longest one
<MjnMixael> so, short of altering all the mission files and whatnot.. eff won't work as long as the 32 character limit is in place... /lobby for mng support

That will (theoretically) be switched out for the new one when HerraTohtori finishes it. Consider it a placeholder. Forgot about that...

Cool stuff mjn, the missile tech .anis look like a true updates to retail. The missile bar chart seems to be a little more stable than the original volition version. Are the values supposed to reflect anything meaningful or are they merely aesthetic?
Title: Re: FS2 Hi-Res ANIs [RELEASE!]
Post by: mjn.mixael on May 29, 2011, 02:22:29 am
Totally aesthetic. I picked their 'values' based on the originals though.

Ships 'in space' tend to have no normal map. Is it intentional or is it caused by lack of normal maps in proper format? I find hatsie suffering from that.

They have them... the certainly don't pop out like they do in-game and that was intentional. I didn't really want them looking like tinfoil.

Snail... sorry about the Blue Lions logo... I forgot about that...  :lol: Go bug HerraTohtori for me, he's gotten tired of hearing me ask.  :nervous:

Also, FsMods Mirrors are up.

I have mirrored the 7z files (btw the link for the first 7z file has an extension of .zip not .7z which results in a 404).

MV_CB_ANI_1.7z (http://downloads.issmneur.ca/cb_anims/MV_CB_ANI_1.7z)
MV_CB_ANI_2.7z (http://downloads.issmneur.ca/cb_anims/MV_CB_ANI_2.7z)

* I am trying these guys out, please let me know if anyone has problems downloading from them (especially those in Asia and Europe).

Amazing. I'll try this later in the evening, but it seems just awesome!

I hope you'll be successful in your lobby towards even better support for anis!

Grats mjn.mixael, FSO needs a much better standard for videos in my opinion, so good luck with your endeavours.

It can't extract. Something like "Unknown format/corrupt/damaged". :(
Title: Re: FS2 Hi-Res ANIs [RELEASE!]
Post by: jr2 on June 07, 2011, 05:33:41 am
What archive program are you using?  Try using 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org).  :)
Title: Re: FS2 Hi-Res ANIs [RELEASE!]

Well, I do have 7z, but how can I turn .zip into .7z?

Don't turn it into anything. Extract. If it complains about corruption or something, try redownloading the anis and then extract.

7zip can open pretty much any archive format, you don't need to convert anything.

I'm thinking this thread needs to be a sticky if it doesn't have something like that already.

Awesome work man.  You are a god.

Late to the party, but I have to say these are outstanding.
Could I get the Blue Lions crest to use as the in-mission squadron emblem? :D

Post by: Kolgena on June 14, 2011, 05:51:37 pm
Just wow. Amazing stuff.

(obligatory pipes-are-too-thick: 107th ravens ani has two white stripes on the wings. I believe the actual insignia is planned to have those stripes erased. Totally not worth the rerender time, but there you have it)

Random question: I'm looking at the ANI for the introduction of Snipes and the SOC arc (2_cb_loop-a_c.ani), and I'm wondering -- is the background text in Latin?

We already have too many stickies in this forum. I've linked the downloads in the MediaVPs 3.6.12 release thread (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=70736.0) instead.

OK... I'll bug jg18 about including these in his manual install instructions too.  :yes:

EDIT: Never mind.  He linked to the 3.6.12 MVP page, which you've got covered.  Sorry for the unnecessary necrobumpage.  :warp:

There's nothing wrong with reviving a release thread for a campaign or mod, so long as it's on-topic.  They're official threads for a reason. :p
