Fix for hood animation

Post by Phalkon » December 30th, 2022, 7:58 pm

Hello Requiem,

there's a problem with the hood animation. The frames are not always aligned properly which results in strange behaviour. The hood seems to be jumping up and down or to the sides when animations switch (e.g. when a character starts moving or stops, or when turning, etc.)
Here's one example of what I'm talking about. There's also fixed animation to show how it's supposed to look.

http://phalkon.wz.cz/phalkon.eu/Videos/hood_fix.webm

I have fixed this animation for a different shard before. And if you wish, I'll be happy to let you use the fixed animation here as well.

Here's the fixed animation file: http://phalkon.wz.cz/phalkon.eu/UO/hood_fix.vd
And here's the whole anim4.mul file with the hood animation patched (for anybody who wants to test it in game): http://phalkon.wz.cz/phalkon.eu/Archive ... fix.tar.7z
(you'll need to unzip it two times, first you'll get .tar file, then a folder with anim4.idx and anim4.mul... those files don't get patched often, happy testing).

It's possible I have still missed something. Let me know if any animation looks off.

-----------

And since we're talking about animation fixes, there's a problem with an animation of a mask in the original files from OSI.
One frame is kind of broken, both in colour and alignment.

It can again be seen here: http://phalkon.wz.cz/phalkon.eu/Videos/maska_fix.webm

I've remade that frame and fixed the alignment and the result can be seen in the video.
I'm not sure if that item is even used here but here's the fixed animation anyway: http://phalkon.wz.cz/phalkon.eu/UO/mask_fix.vd

Everything is self-hosted and it can happen that the server is down. If the links are not working, check again later.

Server went down, crashed and burned (not literately).
Everything moved to a backup domain, but since there's no https set up, browser can complain about unsafe connection.
There are no viruses, it's just missing encryption... and poor planning on my part. But the downloads and everything else work fine. :]

If you find links that don't work, feel free to send me PM, thx.
