SP Fantasy [WB] The Veiled Stars | the Lord of the Rings [WIP] + Theoden's Armour p411

[NoobLord]

Seeing as there is already a banner weapon in the beta and it is not animated I think it won't be animated.

 

[La Grandmaster]

Animating flags requires the editing of the shader files, which gets pretty complicated if you ask me. Im sure anyone with basic knowledge of HLSL (not sure if thats right or not) would be able to make waving flags easily, but to an outsider it looks rediculously complicated. I managed to make a rough shader which makes flags wave for a few seconds but then it gets all glitchy and turns into some wild jagged thing. In the picture the "flag/banner" is fairly small so I dont think it needs a special shader anyway

 

[Jarvisimo]

I actually have a deep seated fear of shaders and refuse to use them.
I suppose I COULD always just make the flag vertex animated..
But that's way overcomplicated.

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

I'm pretty sure you are using shaders.

 

[NoobLord]

I think he means the custom ones you'd make for a waving banner.

 

[Jarvisimo]

I'm pretty sure you are using shaders.

That is true!
I muddled up my words and now I look stupid. Ah, well.

 

[Jarvisimo]

Sorry for the lack of detail; I'm in a rush to get out. I'll talk more about this stuff later.
Cheers, Jarvy

 

[sjoerddz]

i can see minas morgul and a very nice gondorian spearmen so the post doesn't lack anything in my opion

 

[Evelyn]

Is that a new shield holding animation?

 

[Patchouli Knowledge]

The game doesn't have unique animations for standing with a shield, so that'd be a new one-hander stand.

 

[Jarvisimo]

No, I'm adding a function to multiplayer to 'stand to attention'. I thought it'd be a neat touch for clans. I always thought the idle standing animation was really casual and would look silly with lined up players.

 

[Jarvisimo]

Finally finished Minas Morgul's lighting effect!

[Windbusche]

Lovely.

 

[djogloc02]

Witchking will be the boss.

 

[Jacob123]

Its spooky Jarvy, you should have released it tomorrow instead for Halloween

 

[DarkShogun417]

I think I know what the november surprise is... and it's going to be awesome.

I am looking for talented sceners to help me with The Veiled Stars multiplayer. You must prove yourself as able to create interesting, fun, detailed maps with AI meshes. This can be done via screenshots, videos, or just extremely good words with proof.​

If you think you would be able to create official maps for the mod, please do send me a PM on here or preferably on our own forum. (See front page)

My offer still stands, although it will have to wait until this week of exams are done.
Also we still need to do that HoI3 game

[Jarvisimo]

Should have some previews of Isengard coming up either today or tomorrow.

I've spent ages on it, and I'm so proud of it, so don't be too critical, haha.
