More Epic and Smoother Battle Sprite

[SkyRZ5]

Hey guys

I don't know if i'm asking in the right place or not (sorry i'm new in this forum)

Is the attack frame really has to be 4-6 frame? can we make it more smoother by add more than 6 frame?
Cause i'm thinking of making more smoother fighting animation.

I think that will be really cool but if the problem is the engine then its okay

the engine doesn't actually limit any amount of frames, look at the horseman's attack animation for example:

Code: Select all

    [attack_anim]
        [filter_attack]
            name=spear
        [/filter_attack]

        start_time=-400
        sound_start_time=-400
        offset=0.0~0.3:300,0.3~0.45:210,0.45~0.0:420

        [sound_frame]
            sound=horse-canter.wav
        [/sound_frame]

        [if]
            direction=n
            [frame]
                image="units/human-loyalists/horseman/horseman-n-attack[1~12].png:[100*3,70*9]"
            [/frame]
        [/if]
        [else]
            direction=nw,ne
            [frame]
                image="units/human-loyalists/horseman/horseman-ne-attack[1~12].png:[100*3,70*9]"
            [/frame]
        [/else]
        [else]
            direction=sw,se
            [frame]
                image="units/human-loyalists/horseman/horseman-se-attack[1~12].png:[100*3,70*9]"
            [/frame]
        [/else]
        [else]
            direction=s
            [frame]
                image="units/human-loyalists/horseman/horseman-s-attack[1~12].png:[100*3,70*9]"
            [/frame]
        [/else]

        {SOUND:HIT_AND_MISS spear.ogg {SOUND_LIST:MISS} -100}
    [/attack_anim]

note: using [1~<insert any number>] isn't mandatory for large animations, but i helps to prevent the file from being super long

Ah i see... then that mean there is no limit in the art sprite? how about animation for big sprite like fire dragon?

Okay thanks

If you know how to do pixel art, there are still some animations completely missing - maybe you can help with those before working on improving the existing ones?

For example War of the Gods has some really awesome dragon animations, if you are interested in creating new animations that would be great!
