Community Project 1 : Monitor Images
coolDisguise:
Since I never really worked with animated gif images myself I have to ask: how many pictures can you transform into one single gif? But I know you can set the pictures per second somewhere - how (in terms of "is it still practicable to do that, i.e. would it take too much memory or slow the game down significantly?") would its size influence the game if you made a looping gif with >= 24 fps and a lenght of like 20 or 30 seconds? (meaning 480 or 720 pictures)
It's just... the camera is still a little jumpy for the latest in - even russian - technology, let alone for security equipment that's used by the Janus group.
kraid:
Framerate and duration are far to high.
Even with a compressed 128x128 image which is aproximatly 10kb the final animated texture would be 7200 kb (roughly 7MB) for your 30 seconds texture.
That's far to much for something like a monitor screen.
Also, please don't use gif to export the images.
Rather do a series of single frames in .tga or other lossless image formats.
Name your pictures like texture0000.tga, texture0001.tga, ...
Hans_Sherman:
Cheers, guys. It was just an example. The explosion was just a placeholder. And I agree with the funny element thing, which is what I'm mainly aiming for.
I've got a new one in the works, just bit tied up with packing for going home from Uni.

I did wonder about that, I'll upload my targas, I guess .gif is just useful for a preview in the thread.

Decided to remake the original N64 monitor image of the guy talking. Used an old soviet cap I own and an overcoat for the photos. The Russian translates into "Transmission: Captain Alexander."
