Zone Gani Replacements

[someonesomewhere]

Maybe this will help some people:
You can't change the angle for a weapon. Like Bl0nkt said, that's changing the graphice, UNLESS the gun image contains a diagonal sprite. However, they do not, so don't ask for that.

That would mean editing and re-diting the same gani so many times it's not funny. I don't pretend to know what I'm talking about, this is just from reading Bl0nkt's gani tutorial. From what I can tell:
Edit gani to make saber attack 1
Edit gani to make saber attack 2
Edit gani to make saber appear pink and stay pink.
Edit gani to make saber attack 3
Edit gani to make saber attack 4
Edit gani to make saber sappear red and stay red.
Etc, etc, etc.
And If I'm not mistaken, the saber gfx doesn't contain enough sprites to make more than 2-3 distinctive attacks.

That's pretty much right. Thank you for reading my tutorial by the way.

Well, here's exactly the pattern which I have to do this:

1) I open a gani. First thing's first is I have to change the attributes for the body because I don't have the body Stefan uses to create the ganis. The annoying part is the attribute is greater than 3 so I have to open it in a .txt just to change it (thanks a lot, Stefan).


2) I change it back to a .gani format and edit the gani (a good one takes at least 15 minutes). Once I'm satisfied with that, I have to open it back up in a .txt and find out the correct color effect for the lights.

COLOREFFECT I 1 0 0 .2 = A normal looking red
COLOREFFECT I 0 1 0 .2 = A normal looking green
COLOREFFECT I 0 0 1 .2 = A normal looking blue
COLOREFFECT I 1 0 1 .2 = I believe is purple
COLOREFFECT I 0 0 0 .9 = I believe is black

Repeat the same thing for 5 colors.


3) Now I have to do step 1 and 2 over again for a walk, an idle, an equip and 10 attacks. If that shield is ever added, it would mean I have to open EACH ONE OF THOSE GANIS to add it. That's a PAIN.

If he's using the same body sprites consistantly, just copy another set of sprites and rename them to whatever he's using as the default in his ganis.
