Jorm -> JS3 Sprite (12/13/2018 7:33:45 AM)
Hi Team I had a talented nephew create a new JS3 sprite for me and now ive tried to add it using Issue8's really good " new sprite guide' . I seem to have followed every thing hes listed but i cant get the formation of JS3's to appear when i generate a new battle any thoughts at all ? - ive added a JS3 UNIT and assigned the su_js3_hs and su_js3_ts sprite names to it. - ive created a formation 'JS3 tank platoon' an added the unit to it. - i note when i check the formation 'used by", its says none, do i have to assign it to a faction ? if so i cant see how ? btw the sprite looks pretty good and hes offered to make a few more so perhaps i'll get him to do some WWII or 1973 arab-israeli. OK got it , i had to manually edit the factions.xml now ,how to get the turret in the right place ? cheers

for example, these lines in units.xml determine turret and commander positions: <string name="turretSpriteX" value="0.0" /> <string name="turretSpriteY" value="-9.0" /> <string name="commSpriteX" value="11.0" /> <string name="commSpriteY" value="22.0" /> <string name="commIgnoreTurret" value="FALSE" /> the 0,0 position is the center of the sprite. the turretSprite x and y are where (on the hull) the turret is positioned. the commSprite x and y are where (on the turret) the commander is positioned. if commIgnoreTurret is true, then the unbuttoned commander is on the hull instead of the turret. you need to figure out where the center of the sprite is in pixels, and all values are in pixels. the database editor can set these values and is easier than using a text editor.

sprite attached. Its probably too big , is it possible to scale it ingame ? It also seems a little opaque ?

Issue8 -> RE: JS3 Sprite (12/14/2018 4:09:06 AM)
You need to make the turret sprite like this: where the center of the turret is the middle of the sprite. That means empty space on the bottom.

Why can't I add attachments?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/chcprwdnhg389yu/JS3_adjusted.zip?dl=0 Here's the sprite. To get the size correct, the line in the xml is spriteScale= It is a pixels per meter setting. looking at you JS3 sprite, it is around 30. All of these setting can be done in the editor.

Brilliant I think i get it Either way if i get more sprites done they can be fixed like you have done ? cheers

Of course! By the way, you have a very talented nephew! You could repaint his work also! [image]local://upfiles/47125/7189BBFF9A6A41B087886A17C3797273.jpg[/image]
