Title: Spawn Spark
Post by: GAMEOVER on June 09, 2006, 10:42:24 am
Add two more frames for the spawn spark so we can make small animations.

That'll be good. A couple more frames to the spawn spark would be nice.

I'm surprised this hasn't been done already. Simple and nice. I could see some cool effects coming from this....

Do you mean the flashy stuff that happens when a Soldat comes back to life? If so, then I say yes

(why does the first post go at the bottom and rest continue upwards?)
I guess you mean in the reply window. I assume it's because you're most likely going to be replying to the latest post and not the earlier ones.

I'm not quite sure if i know what you mean, you mean if the spawning thing gets to more frames added on, it would be editable and you could change it using an editor or something?

That would be pretty sweet to make it look like a beam of light comes down, and your soldat walks out with his gun. lol i totally like this idea....i wish i thought of it......DANG YOU!

Yes, that's what he means.

I will never understand why people need crazy hairdoes/boots/socks/shirts/helmets in Soldat and nor do i understand the necessity of this idea. ???

Brilliant, I can't beleive I didn't think about this before. It would open up so many possibilities in the game too. It should actualy be 5 frams though, more custimazation. Imagine making a plane or helicopter drop your soldat off  8)

OR a sort of pixelated version of your soldat gradually getting more unpixelated.
or you could grow from being really small haha that would be so fun.

Lobasuu, it is not in fact "necessary" but that doesn't make it a bad idea.

After all, it isn't necessary to eat chocolate cake, but it's still nice to eat.

And on the actual topic, definitely a good idea, give the modders something else to change.

What the hell is two frames gonna do? Unless your just suggesting a different animation for the spawn spark. But that would be an option for modders, not something MM would make.

When I read the title of this topic I thought you meant that the spawn spark would be deadly to anyone who was on top of it. Except for teammates, of course. This would stop chainsaw/knife spawncampers.

Now that is interesting...

maybe combine this with the animated gif thingie?

Genious Idea!!

I like that idea, considering all a spawn-spark does at the moment is spin a little bit, all for it!
EDIT: Spelling mistake fixed

Isn't this added yet? You can edit your spark, but you still can't make animations on it... the start spark in in Sparks-gfx folder, so you can modify it easily. But a start with some kind of animation like Soldat appearing slowly would be good to add.

F12, damnit!  ;)

I can imagine it right now... I'm running through their base... I grab the flag... someone spawns right on top of me, and I die, even though I had no intention of spawnkilling. Sounds annoying. :/

As for the animation, just enable the use of gifs, same as for scenery.

f12.

and also, stop it from rotating, its annoying.

Post by: .::Blaze::. on November 08, 2007, 08:19:46 pm
yea, thats what i thought too, but they wouldn't do that just cause some of us are tired of spawning...but i suport this idea and it shouldn't be hard at all to add in

F12!!! w00t go Blaze

nothing wrong with it, it would lead to improved modding and nicer effects.
its so simply no one would ever have thought of it, that's the sign of genius
