Title: A gift for HTC if they will take it
Post by: USRanger on January 11, 2014, 03:20:38 PM
I would like to donate to the game the new ground fire I made that we use in the AvA.  I believe the shape & animation of the new fire is superior to the default and no one has experienced any loss in frame rate.  If you will at least give it the chance to check out, you can view it on the avatankz & avatankw terrains.  Thank you.  I just want to leave something for the game that makes a real difference (visually).  I expect nothing in return and give up full rights to the animation.  Please consider it and it is yours HT. :salute

I hear ya Ink, but this is something that's already been tried, tested, very well received and requested in all my future terrains.  With all the stuff I've done for the game all these years, I just wanna leave something behind that I could consider my legacy I guess (not that I'm leaving anytime soon).  It was worth a shot. The pic doesn't do it justice, but I can't make a Youtube video of the animation from this PC.  It's one of those "ya gotta see it" things.  :) :salute

I'll try.  I downloaded the NVidia Experience and the film feature in that is awesome.  I must give AKAK props for writing it up

I took a look at your fire this afternoon, Ranger.  Awesome looking stuff and you're right, no frame rate hit on my machine.   :aok

Thanks for the work you put in dude.   :salute

Ranger, sir, you've contributed so much to this community in sounds, terrains, etc... I think you've already got some sort of legacy here!  Nice work sir!

Yes, there are 20 frames (.bmps) each with its own transparency .bmp.  In the Youtube vid, you can see a white flicker for a second that wasn't supposed to be there.  I missed changing one frame from 24-bit to 8-bit.  It's now fixed.
