Re: the flame of warmth
Forest fires burn a *lot* of green, so more smoke is needed. Smoke is the defining feature in a forest fire. Not necessarily more flames (though that is a little weak right now). Even when you're far enough away that you can't see the fire, you can see smoke.

Re: the flame of warmth
yessss, Gambit hit the mark. This kind of fire need more smoke.
Re: the flame of warmth
Could some of those little flames be used on the pillager torch? I don't know how it would look, but it seems like it can be an improvement at least on the standing animation part.
It looks awesome, but as other mentioned it seems a bit small compared to what people could expect. I tought you would have used a near full hex big fire flame, even if it sounds stupid, so looking at this was a bit confusing at first.
Still, I'm impressed on how you give that life to fire and mut say that once you have time, if you could write a tutorial about it, it will be greatly appreciated.
Wish you a nice week.

Re: the flame of warmth
Give live to the tourch of pillage is something that already thought. About the fire on forest, i'm concious that maybe the result is not that we expected. Another time, the background not helps. If you put the same fire on a dark background, these are more impresive...But this can't be a excuse. I Think that following the Gambit's suggestion we will improve it.

Re: the flame of warmth
These fires look fantastic. I'm immensely impressed at how much you've crammed into that... 5 frames? And the first ones look really large-scale, in keeping with the size of the terrain. Even if they're not perfect on the smoke factor yet.
Great, great work.
And yeah, the Goblin Pillager is something we might do - it was, in fact, one of rhyging's first attempts at a wesnoth project. And given the nature of your later work, rhyging, maybe something you might want to come back to and try again at some point? Definitely not something to rush on, though - it's a lot of work, better left until the Pillager's new base frame and attack animation are complete.

Back to work. Current projects: Catching up on commits. Picking Meridia back up. Sprite animations, many and varied.

Re: the flame of warmth
Nice to see you have started work on the forest fire, I already like your work.rhyging5 wrote:hey guys!, I'm worked on fabi's request, a forest fire. Still I haven't nothing definitive, but advanced enough to talk about. I would like to know your impression about the fire, and how it may be implemented. I also have drawed the possibles ways it can moves. But is better that Fabi and rest of people explains how it could to work....
Especially the smoke that emits from the flames is done nicely.
I agree that a fire that consumes green plants would smoke more but in my opinion we don't have to be that precise if you don't want to.
Making a generic overlay for all types of forests will be the best way to go because it will safe a lot of work.
My idea about having different musters of fire would be to make some less dense ones that can be combined to gain more variate
or denser fires.
That way one could easily code fire that starts small but grows denser and denser with the time.

Re: the flame of warmth
thanks! 15 frames of pure fire! I started with 10 frames, but don't have quality enough because you can to perceive easily the loop.thespaceinvader wrote:These fires look fantastic.

another posibility, is that I provide to you 3 animations that represents 3 levels of fire intensityfabi wrote:Making a generic overlay for all types of forests will be the best way to go because it will safe a lot of work.

Re: the flame of warmth
That is true, but leads to all fires of the same intensity looking equal.rhyging5 wrote: another posibility, is that I provide to you 3 animations that represents 3 levels of fire intensity
If there is a huger area on fire that could lead to a Moiré pattern.
But I am not enough skilled in computer graphics to give a good advise on that matter.
Re: the flame of warmth
rhyging, it looks like you are having 6 different "fire-colums" in the in the forest fire.
Wouldn't it be possible to shift them around, to create slightly differnt looking fires (they almost look the same, but probably would create a pattern)?

Re: the flame of warmth
as usual, if you post the frames, i'll be able to include them...
btw, could you post your torch lit cave walls at some points ? i'd love to add these if you consider them ready

Re: the flame of warmth
Just a thought: Instead of putting smoke into the animation, why don't you use the clouds from your other thread? That way you could also have the smoke drift and it wouldn't obscure your beautiful flames as much

Re: the flame of warmth
Boucman: I will put the flame's pngs as early as I can. But think that we need to set the forest fire implementation before put its png
Re: the flame of warmth
sure, I was more thinking of the torches on the walls...

Re: the flame of warmth
......yes, of course. Then, when we could see it on game?

Re: the flame of warmth
well, these would need a new terrain type, and that would mean breaking compatibility with the latest 1.7, which is a no-no at this point
so it would probably be integrated with 1.9.0
