Description
Nods gets some heavy infantry support!
I am still working on the animations, so far I only did the walk and one idle animation.
Uh, so does this mean there is one mouse click to destination = walk animation while double clicking destination = run animation? Because when a firefight breaks out in a battlefield setting, soldiers don't usually walk like that. Just a suggestion, great render-walk though.
HOLY TIT BALLS BATMAN!! that's awesome.
That much detail on a unit kind of concerns me... Will the engine be able to handle a couple hundred units with this much detail on 1 screen without frame lag?
Neither TS neither OpenRA uses models directly. All the infantry you've seen in TS/RA2/OpenRA are actual rendered images, just plenty of them.
And due to this, a say 30x60 frame will take the same amount of processing time, regardless if it's an explosion/TS pixelart infantry/RA2-based rendered infantry or this.
The voxels are handled different, though, with TS/RA2 having a simple renderer while OpenRA converts them to a model in the memory - latter is indeed slow and indeed might be a problem in the long run.
Yeah I figured as much, hopefully you all can get around that.
Thankfully the recent changes in OpenRA performance-wise allow a TS/RA2 based mod to be played well with 6 AIs on an AMD Athlon II X3 450 with 2 GB RAM even with the voxels being slow (gameplay is still faster than 3 AIs on Generals with the same PC), although indeed, the requirements at Github.com would probably not be enough for the TS/RA2-based mods.
We'll see, if it causes an issue in the long run, there's still the option to convert all voxels to SHPs and gain performance that way. I assume that'll only be decided to happen after some public feedback though.
The aforementioned issue with voxels are tracked at Github.com with all the geeky talk involved in it.
:O
Wow!! That turned out REALLY good!
Dude you have all of my respect, this is amazing
Dayum and finally Nod got some better infantry support (Since Cabal took Cybrogs)
