| Summary | 0001811: Shield hit effects are beeing cut-off at some point | ||||
| Description | Shield effect animations, in this case an EFF with 45 frames, get cut-off at some point instead of beeing played until the end of the animation. This happens in battle when there are multiple hits on the shield, as well as for single hits on the shields. | ||||
| Additional Information | Happens with multiple builds. I guess it has been like this since retail. Maybe some hardcoded limit to match only the retail ANI. It would be nice to get more shield hits at once on the shield as well, all using the full animation. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I think i see the problem, but the shield hit effect is hardcoded. Try changing the animation FPS rate such that: retail_frames * retail_fps = mediavp_frames * mediavp_fps |
|
|
Yeah, that should solve the problem, but that's rather just a workaround than a fix. I think beeing limited to a fixed amount of frames at a fixed framerate, isn't flexible enough for a game engine, that is beeing used by multiple games Unless there is a good reason for those hardcoded limits. |
|
|
The hardcoded limit is used for level of detail settings. I'm not too comfortable messing with that at the moment, but I will get around to looking at it after 3.6.10 is released |

Is this issue going to hold up release of the Media VP set |
|
|
This is intended behaviour. There's a limited number of shield effects that can play concurrently; that some are being cut off when there are a few of them active at the same time is a good thing from a ressource conservation POV. As taylor said, "This is a game, not an art show" |
