Quote: --- Original message by: waffles 4banshee http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/3610/l72z.gif I can upload what I have, and just append later with other stuff/updates. I'm kinda limited in a few areas that I have no control over without the original shader--animation speed/animation direction. Looks better than gearbox's shaders, but its not 100% accurate to the originals. 256x8192 resolution bitmap for frame animation (32 frames). Might end up dropping resolution for the fact that the compiled bitmap is around 8mb's... Go spam Korn and scythe's accounts asking to fix the old shader/replace it Awesome, So that's the speed of the animation ingame? It's better than the gearbox shaders. Also do you really think that the broken shaders can be fixed with dll injection? edit: Just had a look at the source bitmaps, If the animation phase is too fast, couldn't you duplicate frames in the animation? Also you've probably answered this question before, but how did you create the animation file? Edited by Banshee64 on Sep 14, 2013 at 02:11 AM |

Quote: --- Original message by: waffles More frames=larger bitmap size. Normal compressed bitmaps are no more than a few hundred kb's compared to having one thats 12mb's uncompressed with mipmaps. You can change the speed the frames display at with the function controlling it, by changing the period value at the top of the function. Though anything over 1 will end up being sluggish/laggy. 32 frames animating each frame over a period of 1=32 frames per second 32 frames animating at a period of 2=16 frames per second If you wanted more control over speed you would have to increase the amount of frames. But, more frames=much smaller increments to animation, which is very tedious as it is. Theres also bitmap size, which could lead you to compress the bitmap and even reduce resolution quite a bit. If you look at the "shield" texture in the data directory in the source folder, it contains the blend modes/etc. All I did is take the bitmap size and divide it by the amount of frames to get the incremental value to move the noise bitmap from one end to the other (256/32=8) so it would loop; each frame I move the bitmap by 8 pixels. The OS team has already added normal mapping/specularity to dynamic objects. I wouldn't think it impossible to add in a new blend mode for the default transparent shaders as some sort of extension. That or somehow fix the original shader. Literally all thats needed is some sort of inverse/difference function for blending in the transparent shaders. Very informative, thanks again. |

Quote: --- Original message by: Alexis Quote: --- Original message by: waffles Make sure you have backups in the chance you want to switch something back. I'm just including my entire c_dropship set. I made some changes to random things here and there (shaders/vehicle/functions). Just copy and paste tags folder into your halo directory and merge/overwrite. c_dropship tags Awesome, Thanks. I am mainly interested in your shader set up. I have a 2 second method for animating the noise in photoshop. I can just never manage to get the shader to be bright enough. Crappy Sapien pics for reference. http://i.imgur.com/0ETD66R.jpg http://i.imgur.com/oh7FFjX.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xkUA31b.jpg Hi there, do you still have these c_dropship tags with you ? I've been busy trying to get them working but without any success =/ I also tried to extract xbox shaders to compare and recreate the shader tractor beam...
