... so as in SH4 and SH5... and look #13.

About particles system (funnel's smoke, damage smoke etc), in SH3, SH4 and, i think, in SH5 (but with better graphics level) uses the same mechanism of particles generator with (on base) a sequence of moving textures. I do not have SH5 so I can only assume...?
...
This controller (AnimatedTexture) can be viewed as similar to TextureAnimationData (Type 10/6) in SH4.

Can't wait to see a video featuring this improvement of yours !

Hi, Alex.
This addition does not require specific knowledge of programming, coding or similar rubbish...
To use it requires a basic knowledge and ability to work in 3D (simple object) and, as example, in Photoshop...

Ta, for the quick elaboration Urfish!

Yeah, I see the nifty-ness of this addition. The possibilities are quite...epic!

And kudos to anvart for makin' it possible!

[Anvart]

Excellently, Myxale.

Moin Anvart,

Kudos to you for your information. It happens that I´m experimenting with animated textures for some time now, trying to analyze it. I was fiddling with an animated texture I "borrowed" from SH4. It worked in SH3 too, but I had troubles making it work with stuff I imported as AniTexData. Quite a coincidence you too are playing with that at the moment. Thanks for sharing the file with the community.

Btw, you´re writing it is a simple AniTex Controller and that only 4 vertices are processed. Are you referring to your example, or is this controller able to process "only" 4 tex vertices? Sorry if this question seems to be dumb, but I had no time to test it yet.


@Privateer:
thought I would never see you again around here.

No, I do not have a new computer.
... and I do not have access to my database on the disks (RAID 0).
On current machine I can not do anything, and on the current hard drive I do not have needed disk space.

I tested this controller when i been doing lighted (lit) ships.
The glow of the lantern (simple halo object) been changed from white to green, yellow and red...
Some time ago I by chance found this stuff on one of my CD and I made up it for S3D.
I decided to publish this stuff when I understood I will not publish any mods in the near future... or never.

P.S. And you're still not solved mine riddle... about a magic box...(?)
... it's a hint of another solution...

So, you would be okay if I´d use it for any mod to come?

Now that you mention it, I faintly recall a riddle of yours. But I have to dig for it, as I do not quite remember what it was. Only thing I know, it was related to the CR interior, to the food crates in particular. Right?

What is it "okay"... Maybe I'm writing unclearly?

You are right...
... but now it's your problem...?

[DivingDuck]

Just wanted to make sure you have no objections if I use AniTexControllers in any future mod.

Unfortunately.

huh ... OK, read again everything I wrote above...

Unfortunately.

Ha-ha... remember my opinion about the disappearance of food in OH.
