I seem to have a small problem with importing animations into a PD ROM: my animation has 707 frames, but when I import it into the ROM, it cuts off the last few frames and it has 696 (2B8) frames instead. I'm not sure why this happens.

I thought, maybe the animation doesn't move too much in the last two frames and it just discards that, but I've tried altering the last few frames to make them move a lot, which didn't help.

Not sure what you mean. Did a test import to Guard animation 0001, and it showed last frame as 2C3/707. Wrote/reloaded still there. Would need more precise recreation steps.

The action editor description for GE sub-action 68 is incorrect. State bitflag C should state (Opening/Closing) instead of incorrectly reading (Opening/Closed)

Is that even valid? The editor handled that very weird, should've just been bitflag showing text...I updated that particular entry anyways now in beta.

I am importing it into animation F7, which causes the problem. Even on a vanilla ROM, it only has 2B8 frames instead of the required 2C3.

Not a bug, just it's optimizing the import, by adding repeat points (the format allows for if identical frames, to just set spot and count, instead of actually putting the frame in that many times). You can see them in GUI. That said, maybe that's not always desirable, so I added a checkbox that if you uncheck, it won't do the repeat point optimization in beta, but default it is checked.

Hang on: animations are optimised with frame compression if it's the same frame? Oh this has just made my life a heap easier as I won't have to optimise my animations as much before export and code around that!

It works perfectly now, thanks

If they are in a row the format supports repeating identical frames. The minimum run was maybe 2 frames or 4, can't remember.

[Carnivorous]

Actions.ini has been updated with the newly discovered fields.

Please add the following string to the GE action block editor, thank you!

Commands 9D/9E/9F/A0/A1/A2

Code:

if (guardBits & 0x00008000)    tempStr += " (Push On Death)";

Commands 14/15/16

Code:

else if ((data[2] & 0x80) != 0) {    tempStr += " (Single Shot Only)"; }

[SubDrag]

I will add it next update. What does push on death mean?

[Carnivorous]

So with a few weapons like the magnum they have a force of impact value, which is used as a rng range for pushing enemies when they die. When the push on death flag is set it'll always use a impact value - regardless of the weapon used to kill them. This is used for Trevelyan on Cradle so he's more likely to fall off the platform with the ZMG/PP7.

this has a more frequent use in Perfect Dark, i am wondering if GE & PD treat the script differently, because enemies flying back from magnum shots seems less frequent in GE as far as i can remember...

Hi.

I need correct vertices in Editor as show you in the video. It would be interesting to join vertices using a magnetic option.

Thanks for this cool editor.


Happy New Year.

This already exists in the editor. Check key combinations for these two options.

They're handled the same.
