Y’all rushing before I can make the post. Well, okay then. Literally just woke up, so here goes…
New Battle Animation Repo Update Super Mega Overhaul v2 Hyperion Edition Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series, Sponsored by Coca-Cola Ft. Cameos by Sonic and Knuckles the Three-Tailed Foxes
Features:
- A bunch of folders that had names which were way too long had the credits cut out, changed to CREDITS.TXT, and were placed inside of a CREDITS.TXT file inside said folders. The offenders were chosen purely based on how long their names were. I eyeballed them.
- I fixed several folders that were simply buggy. Some of them had duplicated animations.
- For some reason, several of Shyuterz’s folders were among the least organized and least comprehensible messes in the repo. As an example, the Nergal T3 animation folder was just… what even was in that thing? There were folders inside folders inside folders that had like leftover artifacts for the animations? I checked them individually and deleted the offenders. Should be much simpler now.
- I also renamed some folders that simply had too long of descriptive names. I tried to be consistent, but overall the goal was just to get everything below 260 characters on the filepath.
- Just to be extra extra extra sure, I also reprocessed every animation to remove duplicate frames and to ensure the .bins were up to date.
So, compared to the original pre-Sme update from a few days ago, the Repo should now be 100% friendlier for people using Buildfiles. This is a big deal!
It should also be less ugly and broken inside certain random folders.
Q&A Time!
Klok, will this break Emblem-Anims?
Possibly. I don’t know for sure. I think links might get shattered on Emblem-Anims. If so… we’ll have to wait for Shin’s return!
Does this update improve any animations? Make them look better?
Not that I know.
Can I use ANY animation with a buildfile now?
Theoretically, yes. Let me know if animations still don’t work for BF’s.
Klok, why are there tons of map sprites missing from the map sprite folder? People have added a bunch but they’re not there.
I have been planning to update the Map Sprite repo… I just haven’t had the time. Simply put, I’m going to rename all of the files to be less long-winded. I have EVERY new previously not-yet-added map sprite downloaded, they’re sitting in a separate folder on my PC with these new name formats waiting for me to update the old ones.
Proof:
Same question, but for Class Cards. There are some missing class cards.
I’m waiting to add the map sprites and class cards to Super Lex Talionis, an important side project of mine. The key goal is to add all of them, so I’m just trying to add them when I have time. There actually aren’t many of these, I’m just busy with four major projects now.
…
The repo, as always, is a work in progress.
EDIT:
And then I checked the repo site. For some reason, it shows this.
But on my PC, I have this.
Thanks Google Drive. Wow, you sure are great.
Gonna try and fix this real quick…
