[K1] Animated Swoop Screen [TSLPort]

---

 

This mod replaces K1's vanilla static swoop monitor with TSL ported swoop monitor with added animations on its screen.

 

# Background #

Lately I have been attempting few porting stuffs between TSL to K1 and then wondered "can PLC_xx be ported?" and the answer is here.

 

# About this Mod #

Inside this mod are:

• One TSL ported swoop monitor model: plc_swscreen MDL/MDX
• One TSL ported swoop monitor texture in TPC format: TSL_SwpMntr
• One custom made 11 frames-animated swoop screen in TPC format: AnmtdSwpScrn

 

# Final Remarks #

This attempt were much inspired by Sith Holocron's "Swoop Monitors Replacement Pack" as without the said mod, it wouldn't go anywhere than just a mere idea. I learned a lot from his texture and TXI's setup so- lots of credits pretty much addressed to SH and his work!

Critiques, comments, suggestions, questions and any feedbacks for the next update are very much appreciated- just PM me or write a public message on my feed. And thank you! for downloading, and playing this mod.

 

Hope you enjoy the mod as much as I do!

 

Installation: Copy-Paste all the included files to the 'Override' folder. Overwrite when prompted.

Uninstallation: Remove the said files from the 'Override' folder.

Redistribution: You can redistribute this mod or re-release it on any website; you don't have to ask for permission, but I do appreciate all the kind intention. Also, if you are planning to use the assets from this mod to a mod you will be developing, don't forget to give credits to BioWare, Obsidian Entertainment, and LucasArts as inside this mode are their base assets. Anyways, credit to me is always a welcome, welcome.

How many frames of animation does that texture have?

Only 11 foa with 3 fps hahah. 😁

I like these new animate swoop screens!

Good job, ebmar!

I suppose that it may have been possible to have more frames to make the animation a little smoother/longer?

I realize it would inflate the mod's file size but I doubt it'd be a problem.

Very much looking forward to your next releases!

Cheers!

Thanks, Salk! Very much appreciated.

Yes, that is possible and is also required to make the animation smoother by adding more number to its fps. Hope I can get it realized soon. Thanks for the suggestion!

Edit: As the file size; even by doubling its frames of animation I doubt it'd be larger than 10 MB with tga2tpc compression. 😁

We can but wait for a new and improved release then!

Thanks for sharing!

What's the resolution per frame here? Maybe you can just reduce that as those screens are pretty small ingame anyway.

Each frames scaled at 512x512.

Thanks for the input! I actually haven't seen the result with 128x128 or at most commendable 256x256- but surely I will get along with your suggestion and take things from there. Again, thanks!
