Strange graphic behavior
Posted: Mon May 15, 2017 6:36 am
So I'm using blender to create my own custom entity for my Rocket Turret mod and as you can see with use of the base gun turret it's still very much WIP. Currently the entity works okay-ish, but is a bit glitchy and gets cut off sometimes and the shadow is not right. I've set the resolution for the camera in blender to x:49 Y:89 to match the width and height of a vanilla gun turret shadow.
Above is my shadow sprite sheet. First off I can't get the mod to launch if I set the X and Y to 49, 89. I can set the X to 49, but anything above 66 Y causes the mod to fail to load. I get a nice little error that reads:
The given sprite position (left_top = 272x0) is completely outside the actual sprite image (size=265x372)
Sprite name:__rocket_turret__/graphics/entity/rocket-turret-gun-extension-shadow.png
It will load if I set the Y lower, but, it looks all funky:
The shadow sprite gets cut off. And if you notice there is some weird issue with the circled turret. All the rest look fine, but, this one is shifted way down. I don't understand the "shift =" code very well so if someone could explain it to me, maybe I could fix these issues?
Here is the code for my entity:
