[RESOLVED] Is anyone good at making battle animations [RM2k3]?

[Sigma]

I'm fine using the default animations for most of the magic, but I'd like some special ones as well.

Would anyone be willing to help me out?

[iceflame1019]

not making any promises but I might be able to try a few...

What are you looking for?

[Sigma]

I have basic ones completed such as all of the fire themed spells, cure, ice, and so forth.

I have some animation sheets that I'd like turned into spells/skills. Just anything presentable would suffice.

[iceflame1019]

Can I get a sample of your work?  I work best by mimicking others' styles (also helps with consistency in the game)

A sample? How so?

Sorry if it's a n00b question. >_<

[iceflame1019]

use http://imageshack.us or http://upload2.net and post the links here.

And everyone's a noob at some point in something.

I think we're misunderstanding one another. I don't mean a sheet for the battle animations. I'm talking about the act of animating spells themselves.

[iceflame1019]

oh you want someone to actually put the frames together into animations in RPGM?

If so, host the game folder via .zip folder, make sure the animation sheets are in the right folder.  I can try to do something. not tonight though, I'm beat.

Yeah. Putting frames together. haha

Host which game folder exactly? What would it be called? >.<

[iceflame1019]

The folder itself should have the same name as your game project, IE if your game is called "Project Omega", the folder would be labeled "Projoect Omega".

Right-click on it and say "Send To-->Zip Folder"and then use upload2.net or something to host the zip folder.  Warning, though--if you have lots of things in the media folders already (the folders that hold Monsters, CharSets, FaceSets, etc), the zip folder size will be large.  Especially if you add in more sounds and music to what's already there.

After it's hosted just tell me what you want the animations to do.  Instead of sending the files back and forth I'll post video samples of what they look like, which should be easier than constantly re-uploading the whole game folder.

Smart man! Rep plus. I will edit this post with the upload. Warning: There's mp3s, but it makes the game much much more cinematic to me.

[iceflame1019]

I'll be awaitin'.

[Sigma]

I do not look forward to redownloading this. haha

That's the Project Folder. I really need to get rid of some of the mp3s I'm no longer using.

And here is the battle animations. I'm including summons like Bowser, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Megaman as a reward to the player for playing my game. I think it'd be a cool edition, so just have fun creating the animations.

I'd also like:

multiple laser attacks
fire, ice, elec breath attacks
new earth attacks
gun attacks
et cetera

Do as many as you'd like, and you, of course, will be credited.

eeekk...another rar file...*sigh*time to find winrar again.

55 minutes to d-load?!?  wow...big game file...

okay...wow...this is obviously gonna take a while...

I should probably wait for the downloads to finish but what do you want the animations to do?  or should I decide?

Yeah, I trust you to do them. Besides, you said you'd give me a preview anyway.

[iceflame1019]

okay then...I'll get to it...in about two hours now (internet connection is sketchy so the download time keeps jumping around...  stupid wireless connection)

I gotta wait for the game to finish then I can d-load the animations link...

[Sigma]

All right. Looking forward to your work. 

[iceflame1019]

okay, you might be ticked at this, but be so at my wireless connection.  At 95% the connection cut off and I lost all two and a half hours of the download. then I got roped into looking after siblings until just now...11:00...

I'm downloading the file now via my parents' computer, and hopefully this one doesn't screw me over. 

EDIT: one thing after another...the world's out to break my mental health...
MegaUpload.com keeps telling me my bandwidth is exceeded once I start downloading the file...can you upload this via filefront.com or upload2.net?  I've tried three times now and megaupload keeps giving me errors.

No, no. It's okay.
I wouldn't have time to do anything tonight anyway. The new semester begins tomorrow.
Hopefully you'll have something for me to see tomorrow night maybe.

Thanks.

EDIT: again I get "Your IP address XX.XX.XXX.XX has just downloaded 128255630 bytes. Please wait 104 minutes, then try your download again. "

I'll use upload2.net. Can you get the battle animation file though from Mega?

[iceflame1019]

Wish I could say something positive, but no...I gotta go cool off, I've been spending the last hour or so trying to get my computer to work right...I'll look for the downloads later tomorrow (I gotta stay home from work to babysit while Mom takes my sister to a speedskating meet...she needs new skates and stuff...that all means no computer access [most likely] until after 5 )

[Sigma]

If I send you the RPG, will I still be able to work on it while you're doing the animations?

[iceflame1019]

I got a quick snitch of time to get on...

Ummm...I don't think so....no.  If you copy and paste the one I edit with animations, you'll lose all your work.  Unless you can remember what you've changed from the original, then you can simply repeat that when I get the one back to you.  I'll work as quickly as I can when I get it.

Maybe I'll work on some more animations then give you a new rar file to download.
