"The Gateway" is almost ready. I finished rendering the main part of the new TP, I'm making. I still have to do one more texture and then its time to do the casting animation, and the actual animation. Should be done no later than Monday. I'll keep you you guys posted. In a little bit I will post a pic of just the frame.

Here is the pic of the frame without the center piece.

Here is the opening animation first version:

I think that I have to change to frame rate to get rid of some of the blurryness. I'll keep working on it.

Well I boosted the frame rate, but I'm still getting the blurryness, so its going to take a little longer, I'll just render frame by frame and build the gif that way.

Hope I can get it fixed soon.

Could somebody please convert this to .dc6 and see how it looks in game for me? and post a screenie. I still haven't found my CD so I can't test it myself yet.

I would really appreciate it. If all goes well, I'm planning on releasing it to the community.

If you could test this for me please leave a reply on the thread with your email and I will email you the non-web versions.

Thanks,
Barry

I'll try to convert it.
I think i have to delete some of the frames, because it needs to have the same amount of frames as the normal tp.

btw it has to be converted to dcc, not dc6

Well I got the regular animation down to the same number of frames as the original (14), but I'm I don't yet know how many the opening anim is. I'll see what I can do, right now I have to run out, but when I get back I'll try to fix the opening anim and email them to you or if I can't get it to you I'll send it as is, and maybe you can get it right.

Thanks,
Barry

It does NOT have to have the same amount of frames as the normal townportal.

Ok, almost got it, i only need to adjust the offsets...

Sorry for the delay but i had to reinstall my windows... grrr, i needed to restart 10 times before i could do a bit of work...

btw Apocalypse Demon, it HAS to be the same amount of frames, else if u have more than 14 u won't se the last, and when u have less then 14 u will see it flash where the other frames needed to be.....

Not really. You can change the frame count by hex editing animdata.d2.

Ok, cool. Keep me updated, I would love to see how it looks in-game, I still haven't found my CD. Looks like I may have to buy a new one, unless I let somebody borrow it and forgot who. Oh well.

I almost got it done, but then my computer crashed again, and i had to format my hard drive..... (also had to get back to win98 instead of 2K... grrrrrrrrr....)

I now only need the correct offsets and i'll be ready by the end of this week, or earlier

Thogrim is working on the overlays, but he is having trouble with his computer. Once he finishes it either he or I will post the dcc's somewhere for the community to d/l.
