| Summary | 0000172: Animated beam textures | ||||
| Description | Choosing any animated texture for a beam cannon will result in the beam not being displayed at all. The warmup glow and particles render normally, but the textured beam will simply not appear. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I may just be missing it but looking at the code for the weapons table parsing it looks like it doesn't support ANIs for the beam texture. I assume that it should work though and adding it shouldn't be difficult if you have some art that I can test with. ...And this might be a good time to ask for ANI glows as well, if you want them. |
|

I thought at the current time you could use ANI *everywhere* a PCX is used. You could test it with any ANI file from the FS2 VPs - just set the table value ($beam texture) to something like "ParticleSmoke02". |
|
|
It won't load as an ANI unless bm_load_animation() is called. Static images are loaded with bm_load() which is what's used now. It doesn't have the needed information for playback otherwise. Currently static images are used over ANIs for the weapons but this could be reversed if needed (if you would have both types installed). |

Uhh... what happened with my animated *laser bitmap* bug report? It seems to have vanished from Mantis. There's only the old bug, which crashed me - but my current bug report is missing (ignoring table radius and displaying only one frame (the first frame) of the ANI). Have you fixed it, or what happened? |

Ain't touched it. 0000156 is the only other report that I know about. Did this work before 'cause I don't see any code for handling an animation on a beam texture, only on the warm-up graphic. Adding load support isn't difficult but rendering animated will take a little more work. I'll work more on this over the weekend but it will have to take a backseat to getting my current bug fixes in CVS. |
|
|
my bad. It's still there. I was indeed referring to 0000156. |
|
|
IIRC Machina Terra used this. |
|
|
negative - they used tiling beams. |
|
|
This should be fixed now but I'll wait until a build is tested with it before adding to CVS. Some changes may still be needed for getting it to look right. |
|
|
Somehow beams do not render at all anymore now. |
|
|
Doesn't work with that LSD build? I haven't added the new code to CVS yet so no other build should have it. It worked in my tests but I didn't really try that hard at making the test graphics look good so there may be another issue there. EDIT: The code is in CVS now and passed the works-for-me test so if it's a problem in newer builds let me know. I'll wait for you say good or not-good before closing this one. edited on: 11-21-04 06:42 |

Fixered. Beams not rendering was a build bug and not something generally available. |
