I,m having no luck with web space as of late.

This is using the pallet that my B-1B bomber used, I hope you like it.

By the way, your southeast direction is a bit off, but that can hopefully be fixed easily (copy, paste, mirror).

I think that you should use civ color # 1 because it matches the picture the best, at least I think.

I tried that. But the comparison between the two pallets (civcolor#1 and yours) was... well different. The civcolor#1 had way less colors in it than yours.
I read somewhere that i could edit the pallet, as i did. But FLICster NEVER produces any kind of readable .pal. At least on this box i can,t. Or should i say, i don,t know how.

So from now on, i should use the civcolor#1???? and merge yours into it???

Being new at things really sucks.
But hay, i guess we,re all new to some things.

n/t

Just use mine... that why I put it there.

 

[stainz]

So what would i do for other units that don,t match up with the pallet? Say like, something that is mostly green, like the apache that i was trying to make.
The pallet that FLICster provides is not like a normal pallet, ie...yours.
Can i add colors to the FLIC pallet if need be?

Or do i mix the main pal with the alpha pal?

I just suggest you test different palettes from different units.

In order to change a palette:
1) Use something as a guide (an existing palette)
2) There should be purple in the bottom corner, and red above that, these are transparent and shadow colors, do not use these for unit colors.
3) Never change the very top row, these are civ colors, changing these can really screw you up.
4) You can change any colors in between (the ones that you don't need)
5) If you are using paint shop pro, go to the colors menu and select edit palette.

For shadows:
1) There is a whole bunch of red on a normal palette, bring up the edit palette thing.
2) Change the very last colors (last five red colors that are next to the purple) to any color you want
3) Experiment with those colors and figure out which one you want for your shadow.

Well, my second try was a bomb. The angle was all wrong. Here is my third try. Angle looks ok??? I had a new model to works from. The origlnal has over 1600 frames.

But this is what i,ve coe up with so far:

Oh, it now has a shadow, but the pink makes it look like shyt. How do i change transparencies in a gif?


Bye bye

 

[Plastic Bag]

Go to edit palette and change the purple color to whatever you want.

 

[stainz]

Seems that i can,t post over my last gif.
but here it is without the pink\purple.

 

[stainz]

I see that the sw\se views are a little off. I,ll work on that.

 

[stainz]

Well, i,ve been playing with my unit while the forum was down and this is what i,ve done on a death scene. I know, there is no debris and stuff, but it does explode.

It,s not the best, but hay... so what (;

Stainz,

Have you done any more work on the Avro Arrow? If you're not intending to work on it anymore, could you post what you have completed and I'll see what I can do with it?

Hi Kingpin and Stainz.
To Kingpin: I have Stainz's Arrow stuff, I said that I could finish it, and in fact, I have worked in the unit.
To Stainz: I have worked on the Arrow, but isn't already finished, It's a harder work than I expected. I'm sorry about my slowness (also I'm working in my first 3D design unit, and I cancelled another units work, as the Heinkel He-111, and the Flammenwerfer, finished by nonnob3).
I hope you can understand me

 

[nonnob3]

Pablostuka, are you going to finish ever the He111?
If you need any help buddy, you can count on me ...I WILL GIVE YOU THE CREDIT .
After all, you designed the plane.
We need a good looking GERMAN BOMBER.

Pablostuka;

it,s all good. and yes, it was very hard to make the default of it even though i had a lot of pictures to choose from. but thanks anyways.

Kingpin;

the file is too big to host here, but here is a url that 'should' get everything to you. it is about 3 mb. so i hope you have big pipes.

 

[Pablostuka]

Thanks, Stainz
To nonnob3: At the moment I won't work in the heinkel, but I want to finish it...but my priorities are the STUG IV and the Arrow (but i don't know when I'll finish it...).
Bye, buddies

 

[Kingpin]

Pablostuka,

I'll leave it up to you then. God knows that you're a far better artist than I could ever be. Being Canadian, however, I just wanted to see it get completed.

 

[Pablostuka]

kingpin, If you want, we can work together to finish the Arrow...let's see. I'm working on the attack animation (missile launch). The Arrow was a pure interept airplane, so it doesn't carry bombs. That means Default, Run, Attack & Death animations. Default, Run & Death are finished by stainz, but the death animation could be improved. What do you think about finishing you the death animation? If I can, it's possible to get finished the attack animation tomorrow, but I'm not sure.

 

[Pablostuka]

Note: to the attack animation, I'm working on stainz's excellent run animation, and adding an Sparrow missile . Kingpin, if you want, ypu can improve the death animation adding some debris and pieces of the Arrow. I'm sure you are as talented as anyone of the forum
