For the miners, I think that there's a AnimToOverlay tag in art(md).ini, is there not?
For the tesla explosion, perhaps a smaller version of the Residual Tesla Effects left by an exploding Tesla Reactor

Base, yea, but makes buildup look bad in isometrics (already checked), its count of pixels in not pair
I wanted the offset to make thestabilization effect...signal it stops moving, and that that part is already raised
Tried to make the steps grow from below and from the side but it downt look good, Besides havn them that way would need to s go with the rythm of the rest of the buildup and i would have to add a hell of frames
Barrels...well nothin gi can do about that, as they cant grow from ground :P

It doesn't have to be exact, just take the first frame and resize it down to make new, earlier frames

Don't need that many frames if you have everything happening at once...

Yeah they can, check out the war factory buildups, it's amazing what grows from the ground in this game :drunk:

Really though the big deal is the pixel offset error, look closely and you will see the pad area shift to the side.

ArgCmdr, what program do you use for making the buildup animation? PSP?

[Lpark]

All those qualities you mentioned are a prerequisite of good modding

besides you can download any Howitzer voxel or USE THE ONE ALREADY IN THE GAME FILES

I dont do SHPs

Voxels and Ini editing only

[ArgCmdr]

Yep, i use PSP only, and Animation Shop to complie the gif.

More news from the front got active anims1 for the pad (4 flashing lights), i have the anim sequnce for the second one (2 remapable flags), and i have finished two new graphics available at http://yrarg.cncguild.com when i am able to clean the server´s hard disks (couple of hours), this is:

Remapable flag (helping to SHP creation, its a flag thats in remaps in 100%, 75% and 50% of country flags in the game:



This new cameos, based off an avatar i was asked to make. 10 in total although image shows 6.

You ARE STORMING with your graphix ARG. Brill
Ill Talk to you when you come on

[ArgCmdr]

Im done with all anims of the air pad, hopefully it should work with its height pad. Ill now post previews of the next thing im gonna finish, an Allied Service Depot.
