FL Animations

Just throwing something in here… And I know it’s for effects (used on contrails), but maybe it’s possible somehow to use the line “use_throttle” for those animations, so when a ship accelarates the wings will fold/unfold?

@Mindhunter:

OMFG… need to learn that… soon… asap…

U’re awesome sushi

Thanks, Mind. If you have some troubles with it, hit me up. I could even make a video tutorial down the line, if you like

Moar wing folding goodness ;D

@ Legion…

Thats kind were my heads headed with this… but i’d be more inclined (if i knew how lol)
to try to tie it to “trail_effect_player” in the engines… possibly via hook??

This only seems to kick in when cruise is hit… and that’s the perfect place for such an animation
might look a little funny when having docking problems though

Awsome stuff though… keeping 2 keen eyes on these delvelopments

That is just plain perfect. A small note, Sushi, easy to fix - the shuttle’s wings don’t fold up that close to the middle wing - check some screenshots about it. Not something technical, just thought I’d add this.

Ya, fixed it

Sweet ;D

Well, now I know you guys are just posturing! ;D

might need some finetunning… ;D

@Mindhunter:

I hope you didnt use CShip::open_bay because thats too easy and you lose the normal cargo bay animation

@Mindhunter:

might need some finetunning… ;D

use your wings…that’s jokes. Nice job, nevertheless!

I just saw the videos and did some testing, Mindhunter felt the need to post ^^ Out of simplicity I used open_bay() and to make it even worse I did a quick offset hack in common.dll via hex editor to prevent the shield dropping When I have some spare time (which I have not much atm because of university exams) I will try to call the animations directly (I have isolated the asm part), we will see where that leads

hehehe nice

That sounds awesome. I look forward to see what you can do!

@Mindhunter:

That’s what I was tlking about. Thanks for showing me that. I will try to have that done.

The problem I have so far is, thatnamespace DALib{ IMPORT struct IAnimation2* Anim; };seems to be wrong, since the linker searches then for__imp_?Anim@DALib@@3PAUIAnimation2@1@Awhereas it should be```
_imp?Anim@DALib@@3PAUIAnimation2@@A

Edit: Corrected typo...

You have a typo there, its

struct IAnimation2 * DALib::Anim

instead of

struct Animation2 * DALib::Anim

Yes that’s right, I retraced my attempts (via undo) and it occured before the 2 last so it basicly is only wrong in my quote

Ok got it

struct IMPORT IAnimation2{
};
namespace DALib
{
	IMPORT IAnimation2* Anim;
};
```works and leads to the right ASM code, even if it looks stupid :D

Latest progress report:

It is still not finished, needs some finetuning etc. but at least it works
