UNIT: Trebuchet

Jimmyh · Aug 6, 2002

Here's the unit you've all been waiting for, well almost.

Since the only anim that's small enough to fit into the frame size that FLICSter alows is the run anim, I've posted that here.

If you wish to have a go at working on the other anims you can find the raw images here:

And here is the run flc:

As you can see the from this attack anim the frame size just isn't big enough.

Thank you for finally responding to all my inquiries. :goodjob:

I'm working on it now and I'll post it here as soon as I'm done.

Looks great. Too bad it cannot be completed without a serious makeover.

This will be a great unit once finished. I hope someone will take up the job of fixing that attack anim. Maybe size down the whole thing??

hurry up and finish

Great art Jimmy! Hope to see it completed.

I have already taken a look at completing this unit and came to the conclusion that if all the frames were reduced to 90% their original size the animation would fit within the Flicster parameters. unfortunately I have no time to take on such a task. But that information should be useful to anyone who wants to. good luck.

Looking good! Nice job on all your units!

Actually it's more like 80% (240/302), and that's if you don't mind the unit jumping around within the animation - and you probably would mind something like that.

I'm scaling it down 50%, which will make the unit a bit larger than the catapult, as it should be. I've finished the attack animation and I'm now working on scaling down the run animation. I'll post a preview pic in a bit, unfortunately since many of you apparently have me on ignore you won't be seeing it. Peace out.

I'm not ignoring anyone.

Looks REALLY good Kilroy!!!

I think the trebuchet would make a nice catapult upgrade before cannons.
Or a stand alone unit. Either way, I think Invention would be the required tech.

Cant wait to see the finished product.

Looks good Kilroy, I'll use it as an english only unit.

Looks great to me...

I just posted some sounds in the Creation Sounds Library for use with the Trebuchet once Kilroy finishes the animation.
