a new rank= picture maker
that whould be cool for us who can do that
I don't get it... You want to make pictures yourself? Or you're just asking for new ranks?
The spinning unit images are awsome and took me ages to make. Why change em?
yea they rock, anyway just use the custom rank thingy abobe your avatar...
The spinning images took you ages to make?
I could go get the individual frames and make them pretty quickly if I wanted to.
You could do it, however what I did was I put it into flash with the text with it, and flash doesn't center it, so you have to go frame by frame and do it. Garrr.
How'd you do it anyway... Just move the Hydralisk around and take screenshots of different positions?
That'd be my guess...
That'd take too long. I extracted the sprites like moose said and threw them into flash
I love em
Then, what are sprites? If it ain't a screenshot thingy... Where'd you took 'em o_O
Theres little files that end with .grp in your MPQs. They contain images of all the possible positions that your unit can be in. Everything from attacking to moving, its all there.
Its like a library of pictures, when you take it all out, you got about 200 pictures of everything the unit can look like. If you look at the ghost spinner, thats it in its attacking animation.
How many sprites does yours have? Every single ones? I doupt it, cuz you can see a "malfunction" when the unit gets back to its initial position...
Its 28 frames. God knows where that malfunction came from.
If you really want to learn about sprites get Game Maker version 5.3! That teaches what they are and how powerful they are! You can make games with flat images!!!
Also, they still use sprites in other games still, such as the advance bump-mapped Halo 2! They are cheap and allow variation for less!
A Sprite is a farking soda.
You goddamn geekass bastards.
~900.

I can see someone likes my 13+ notice in the rule thread
Lol....U_B and Terror should not be here if thats true...
Oh, they are great, right up to when you press Fast Reply and they stop moving
lol, so does my ava! I never noticed that before!
If you were smart in flash you would set the ruler grid (1 horizantol, 1 vertical) and use the magnet stick and that would align all your pictures correctly for each frame. -_-
