[Banshee]

After two months and a half, I'm proud to finish a new version of the OS SHP Builder. This version adds several tools that helps you to texturize and also, several effects that makes snow and damage quite easier to be done. I think I created a killer tool, because it became so fun to "destroy" your own buildings with the damage tools :P. Other than that, it fixes several critical bugs, including one related to opening files which I received over 5 complaints in community forums plus several others at MSN. And the autoshadows was disabled, because... there was no setting that allowed us to do perfect shadows. So, since I dont wanna fool anyone, I decided to disable it and do a better version later. Finally, here's the changelog:



"3.2
- revisions by Banshee
- Added: Building Tools. Featuring: Crash, Light Crash, Big Crash, Big Light Crash, Dirty and Snow.
- Added: Image Effects: You can apply image effects in the whole image or sections, and it will help you to texturize or improve certain aspects of a section of the image or the whole image. You can smooth, sharp, unsharp masking, buttonize and the program also has inumerous other effects. The effects also offer optional treatment for colour #0, peak control (avoid extreme distortions with sharpening effects), etc...
- Added: From..To option for Pal Pack. You can now select the range of frames where the recolour will be applied.
- Added: Shift to circle at elipse and to square at rectangle.
- Bug Fix: OS SHP Builder now SHP (TS) loads files perfectly using OS SHP Builder Offset Way.

- Bug Fix: Import optimizing to Tech Buildings with Wreckage option may no longer cause problems or results might have been improved considerably, specially on rubble/wreckage frames.

*Manical laughter* Oh, ehem, yes, good work Banshee.

Oh yeah man That is great, no no it's super great.
Scratches head.
I have a Querstion.
Can't You make the Shp Builder to Transform a series of frames into a voxel.
That would be cool.
I mean to transform for example a simple standing infantry into a voxel and the other way around.
A voxel to get transformed into a shp ie a tank into infatry to be capable of paradroping.

Voxel <--> 2D conversions are way too complicated to ever bother attempting.

i did tank to infantry i used the mad tank tutorial except i made the death weapon play the genetic mutator anim and my tank turned into a brute.

I've downloaded new version of SHP Builder...
It's Nice I should say.
And when will we see new version?

[Kravvitz]

When Banshee decides the changes he wants to make for it have been completed.

[AAG]

So let's wish him good luck!

[Banshee]

The new version will be done in some months because I'll probably remake the program from scratch and change its name... I plan to add support for other file types like TMP and maybe even voxel O.o

[Renegade]

Wait...so you're writing a completely new program with a different name and different functions, but it'll still be "the new version"?
