Constellus [WIP]

I know I should probably search for it myself, but I want to know the latest best way to capture an animation as a gif. I'd like to show off some of my animations!

Actually recording it is even better though, with Fraps or whatever.

Now that summer has come, many of our artists are able to resume work. so, that means you should expect the beta soon. we apologize once again for the wait, lots of things have been happening.

Summer already? Lucky... At any rate, I hope to see a beta soon, and more wiki pages, including updating the images for higher resolution counter parts.

It takes a lot of work really. For Military, I used the MG G3D viewer, set the transparent background on, and take the screenshot. Open the screenshot, select the alpha, invert the selection, and crop to selection (Paint.NET did this easily). In the future, it would be pretty cool if we had a program that could do that all. Don't expect to get particles in, as last I saw, the MG viewer didn't handle particles correctly with a transparent background (might be fixed, feel free to correct me). In some cases, I just edited a particle onto the image post-taking, though hardly necessary.

Yep, I do the same exact thing. Just took a transparent screenshot with particles, and it's fine. Or is it specific to some models? Anyways, I think that particle problem was fixed a few months ago...

@Omega  there, i added some better pics to the units and even wrote up a page on the Quantum Reactors.

Check them all out, people!

Now, higher resolution, better cropping, and transparency pl0x?

[Zoythrus]

thank you, Omega.

now, about those....im still trying to get the alpha thing down.....it's harder than it looks.

also, those arent build pics, those are ingame snapshots taken solely for the wiki (so you can get a better look at the units).

[Zoythrus]

hey! we have a pre-beta out! woo! it has lots of cool stuff! but once again, it's not done.

we're still getting some stuff worked out, but just wait a little longer!

here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?mzc1kzj3pc88aaq

in a packing mishap, you'll have to play unpack the zip into your addons folder. we'll fix this in a few days, after a few mod fixes.

[Ishmaru]

What are the fixes? Ill just wait till fixed release.

[Zoythrus]

What are the fixes? Ill just wait till fixed release.

Fixes: (that i can remember)
new units! The Accuser/Asylum pair and the Herald/Vindicator pair
new models/anims/build pics!
stat and balance fixes!
you can now build the Gateway, but this is temporary. we're waiting for the AI to get the clue that it needs to morph it from the Portal.
and general "newness"
Oh, and the wiki pages have been updated, i'm still in the process of getting everything a wiki page.

Known Bugs:
units that cloak completely disappear! our shaders just vanished one day, so dont lose your cloaked units!
some of our particles/models/texes are wrong. there's so much change that things dont always work well with each other. these are on the top of our list.
everything without a build pic has a ? on it. we're fixing this too.

if you have any comments for balance and stuff, please say so.

Note anyone not wanting to download two different betas so close together, I suggest waiting like a week for the next one. This is just for the impatience people.... Looking at you Omega....

Oh, I'm not that impatient... I think. Anyway, I'm holding off download because I'm swamped under assignments and upcoming final exams. Besides, I hear your team will have a "jam weekend" for development... chop chop.

Is this the newest version? I think that I have time to test it during next weekend, but I just wanted to be sure that I'm getting the latest version .

[Zoythrus]

i may release one more update before the full release (we've made some important fixes since then). give me a few days to discuss it with the team
