Re: Player-Set 1.5 Magic Frames Removal
We did not do that work for nothing. A little bit of work is needed. Some frames aren't so hard to make.
Re: Player-Set 1.5 Magic Frames Removal
Drop them, one of the attack animations can stand in for it.
The real work has barely started yet (doing the frames in every single equipment sprites)Ali-G wrote:We did not do that work for nothing.

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
Re: Player-Set 1.5 Magic Frames Removal
The magic animations aren't particularly good, and as Crush said some of the attack animations will work fine. Sixteen frames less for each piece of equipment adds up to a considerable amount of time saved.
Re: Player-Set 1.5 Magic Frames Removal
Depends on what piece of equipment you are working on. The legs, feet and head (the head's position) are taken from existing frames. If you are doing chest pieces, then yes it would be 16 extra frames. I think gloves are the same for both genders so that would only be 8 frames for this piece.poison_ivy wrote:Sixteen frames less for each piece of equipment adds up to a considerable amount of time saved.
Also note that the same concept was applied to the new attack sequences as well. So only chest and hand/gloves would need significantly more frames in the new player set. Skipy put a lot of thought into it and tried very hard to minimize the extra pixel work, while at the same time trying to make the player set as fresh/varied as possible.
As for cutting the frames completely, maybe just cut it down to 1 new frame per direction. If you prefer to just reuse existing frames, then suggest a good sequence. Right now, I just don't see any frames that would work.
Re: Player-Set 1.5 Magic Frames Removal
Any of the swing attack sequences would work as is. Waving a wand as if you are hitting the air is just as good as that superfluous meditating pose. For any kind of offensive magic it is even a lot more appropriate, in my opinion.nmaligec wrote:If you prefer to just reuse existing frames, then suggest a good sequence.

Re: Player-Set 1.5 Magic Frames Removal
Hello...
thanks for all this work until now, I really like it :)
But i have a small wish about something, what I really would like and would looks really better. Please please change the front sitting view for women. It looks so male sitting like. Tailor seat (sitting cross-legged) would be great.
Another idea could be an "away from keyboard" sit style, new people often wondering about nobody answering at town.
I googled some tailor seat front views...

Re: Player-Set 1.5 Magic Frames Removal
imo ....the spell frames can be used for non-target spells....the swing waving a wand would work well for spells that have a target (like a fire-ball sort of spells)....Crush wrote:Any of the swing attack sequences would work as is.

I already posted various times why.skipy wrote:so why remove some thing that may have uses later??
Because it means more work to create equipment.
More work for creating equipment means that less equipment will be created.
Less different equipment hurts gameplay.
