Graphics
 

Well, for graal kingdoms, I don't know if this is possible but maybe for some weapons on it they can glow...
With light effects or something.

Put this in the 2002 forum section. And what would the weapon do? Who would it be for? How would you get it? Why?

Easier said than done :p

Are you wanting sabers or something (PSO)? Considering that Graal Kingdoms is a medival based world, how exactly would that fit in?

He is thinking of Magic no doubt.

...actually, all you'd need is one template lighting-effect to attatch to the ganis. In the end it'd be a question of graphics, copying and pasting, with a little coding to feed in the sword's enchantments as 4 parameters...totally doable. It'd look weird for Swords That Aren't Sword Shaped, but in general...


Upon further inspection, one cannot dynamically set the coloreffects of a gani cel, nor determine the sourcefile of a coloreffected gani cel. It would only be possible through the making (and subsequent maintenance) of several copies of each sword gani - one for Fire, one for Ice, one for Lightning, one for Weaponmagic, one for Acid, one for Fear...

Im talking about magic swords.
And God Blessed weapons.
I had an idea for god blessed ideas.
lets say someone had a bile weapon.
It would glow yellow since biles crystal IS yellow.
Get my drift?

As Tyme said, it'd be a bit of a hassle. However, thinking about it, it could be done through ganis as attributes. Make a glowing-like animation, then build scripts that set an attribute to that gani when that sword is equipped. But yes, there would have to be seperate ganis for each color you wanted glowing. OR...mng/gif animation of glowing! :p

I made a few ganis to test it out. The system's a little borked so it'd be hard to impliment cleanly, but here's one of my favorites. It's so wrong. ^_~

I wanted Stefan to change the image of my Inferno Sword, with a image I was having made, but then he threw all this legal-ese at me and I got confused, knew no way out so I just shut up :( I wanted my Inferno Sword to have a black falme and a dark blue blade, and change the name to "Blackwand" to go with my RP character XD

thym theres no glow in that

Not until you run it in Graal rather than in ganishop, goober.

I did run it in graal shop.

then run in graal silly *whacks Selzar with a rubber chicken*

lol how u do that?

I don't know much about scripting but all it would take it a thick outline of the sword in a color and transparancy added I suppose? Just a guess. Seems simple enough to me diablo did it cuz when I went through the adventure I always got these blue things.. but all it was was a blue outline really whcih you could do as well with just one color without a transparency which is probably even simpler, all it would take is a few hours of work to do em all atleast it would to me, but I don't want to cuz it's not my project its the g2k2 teams
