[K1] Animated Swoop Screen [TSLPort]


ASS_Fnt_Rszd.png.f96aa3e14d9cdf17912e9d7088628fce.png

 

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! :respect:

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. :cheers:

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!

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. 😁

What's the resolution per frame here?

Each frames scaled at 512x512.

Maybe you can just reduce that as those screens are pretty small ingame anyway.

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! :cheers:
