Hello, I am making structures and Infantry for a Yuri's Revenge mod and I am using Flyby's RA2 Tools maxscipt to render the models into images for SHPs but alas, I have hit a problem. When I tell it to render multiple frames, it will render the frame, extract the shadows from it, and then write over it when it goes to render the next frame.
When debugging Flyby's script there seems to be no output for these renders, so the best you can do is render each frame individually and then save it somewhere by hand, which makes this process even more excruciating.
I am curious. if it is possible, when the script does its rendering, after it does this (printing the finished render to screen)
Code:
nomymap = bitmap animsize.x animsize.y
mymap = bitmap animsize.x animsize.y
fin = inputfrme.value
print fin
to tell it to export the render to something like "FILENAMEXXXX.PCX/PNG" with the first "X" being whether or not its a shadow frame, and the last three "XXX" being the frame number?
If anyone can help, it would be great, I could probably program the script to do this myself but I just need to find out or find an example of some script that exports files in this fashion.
