At-st

[thegreats]

This is a vehicle of the empire, a civilopedia entry:

While not as imposing as its larger AT-AT walker cousin, the AT-ST nonetheless served as a significant addition to the Imperial side of battlefields in the Galactic Civil War. The two-man craft is lightly armed with chin-mounted laser cannons, and side-mounted weapon pods. The two-legged craft, dubbed the scout walker by many, serves as a reconnaisance and patrol vehicle, often flanking approaching AT-ATs and mopping up infantry that sneaks past the larger walkers. The Imperials used AT-STs in both the Battle of Hoth and the Battle of Endor.

Sweet! But we already have one. Oh well, I'm sure the 40k mod can use this anyway, . You might want to check this post to see what we need. BTW, your units seem to have a bit of a pallette problem. You should PM Chris85, and he can give you a couple of pointers.

thegreats, lookin` good!

Odin, he must`ve thought the unit didn`t exist cos it wasn`t uploaded here. Any chance you could release a smaller version, when you fix the palette issue?

 

[conquer_dude]

Looks great! The animation is great.

 

[woodelf]

I love this unit. Very nice work.

 

[thegreats]

Thanks my next project will be the count dooku, it will be a re-skin of luke.

 

[odintheking]

Actually, do you have Clone Campaigns? If so, there is a count dooku file in there. If you don't have him, I can send you the bmps, .

 

[thegreats]

The fixed version of this will be released soon

 

[odintheking]

Sweet, .

 

[thegreats]

Sweet, .

Yeah, because of my work in the count dooku, i wish the fixed version will be ready tomorrow, same as ARC Droid

[Takhisis]

[ajb]

Is there a fixed version of this? seems as though something is wrong (game will freeze if an AT-ST comes into view).

 

[Takhisis]

Well, this is an old thread!

I suppose it could be fixed by someone with a good hand and FLICster.

 

[ajb]

Thanks Snodmaulvenn at least its usable as it is (the transparency issue is annoying), but it allows me to add it, I can always swap out the files if someone can fix that (or alternatively I get around to learning how to do that myself).

How did you fix the animation? What program were you using? I have several other units, which I think suffer from the same issue.

Thanks again! Now if only someone has that Naboo Grenadier that would be something.

I attached the some of the other units with issues.

ajb... the AT-St can be corrected in Flicster. It has incorrect Animation Time and Flicster will tell you that when you open each Flc and ask if you want it corrected.
There are many other problems with the Unit.
The Palette is Only the first palette Flicster makes when you have no palette. The Unit only uses the first 4 rows of colors on the Palette because there are no other colors. This leaves 160 more colors that it could have used.
Also the Unit palette has No Smoke or shadows.
Also each animation has different offsets and each direction for each animation is offset and is not in the correct position.
the Unit has No Fortify, Fidget or Victory animations and No Sounds.

The Reason for the Translucency problem is because all of the palette slots after the top 4 rows are all Magenta. When the palette was applied to nearest color matching to the Storyboards, the first Magenta on the palette was applied and that is on Palette #70 and that slot is NOT Transparent.
The Magenta to use is on palette slot 255 at the end of the palette.

You can change the Magenta color at the end of the palette to any color not used in the palette such as Pure Yellow. Then select the magenta color on the palette and replace that background color with the Pure Yellow color. The Background will all be Pure Yellow. Then Open the Palette and Change that Pure Yellow color at the end of the Palette to Magenta or I just set Pure Red. The Background will again be Magenta or Red but the palette will be using the magenta or Red color at the end of the Palette, Slot #255 and That palette slot is for the Transparent Background.

I centered the Unit for the Default and changed the various areas that had Brown ground shadows to the Black shadows that are used. The Black Shadows can be manually changed to a dark shadow shade such as on the Shadow Row on the Unit palettes.
I also add all shadow Shades to the Palette and a few Smoke Shades just in case they are wanted for anything.
To center the Default directions I moved the Directions on the Storyboard:
SW 6 pixels Left
S 6 pixels Left
SE 6 pixels Right
E 6 pixels Right
NE 6 pixels Right
N 6 pixels Left
NW 6 pixels Left
W 6 pixels Left

I added a Bright Yellow and light yellow color to the Palette and Changed the Attack Flame to those brighter colors.

I was going to adjust all animations and each direction in the Attack, Run and Death so they go with the Default but THAT would be very time consuming to first see how the animations have to be moved in each direction then move all frames for that direction.
Each Direction for each Animation would have to be moved Up, Down, Right, Left to go from and to the Default Animation.

The Unit is Very Large and if Centered on the Game Tiles, it will show above the Right Unit Window Box in game.

If we had a Good 3D Model, it would be easier to make a New At-St.

If you want what I changed, I can get it to you but the animations are all offset and do not go together... they show jumping to different spots from one animation to another.
