Title: Animation help Post by: SOJ on June 25, 2011, 05:48:31 PM Hey guys. Quick question. Is it possible to copy and paste whole groups of keyframes? I have a chr0 file that has about 150 frames, and each bone has a keyframe every other frame. I want to extend the frames for the chr0, but once I do I need to make the keyframes repeat for all the minor bones, but that would be a pain to copy each one. Does someone have a good method of accomplishing this, maybe in a hex editor?
Thanks in advance! Title: Re: Animation help Post by: SOJ on June 27, 2011, 12:07:42 AM Hmmm...ok so since I've made this post I've been doing it the dirty way. I made an Autohotkey script to copy each frame from 1 to 120 and paste them past 121-240 and so on.
That's fine and all, but I've run into a different problem now. I've done basically 10 seconds (up to frame 1000ish) of copying keyframes from 1-120, but now the game just freezes when I try to load the stage. I'm pretty sure that there's a limit to how many keyframes you can have in a chr0 file. Can someone confirm this for me? If so this is gonna suck =\ Title: Re: Animation help Post by: zigheart on June 27, 2011, 01:16:09 AM Hmmm...ok so since I've made this post I've been doing it the dirty way.

I'm using this for a stage. What I'm trying to do is take a dragon that has 120 frames (of flapping its wings), fly by the screen at about 2 minutes into the match, and fly away. I would like it to be flapping its wings the whole time it flys by, and frames 1-120 are perfectly animated, so I just want to copy those frames to say...frame 9000-9360 (which is 2 minutes and 30 seconds into the match). I set the chr0's unknown2 to 0 (I'm assuming that means it doesn't loop), and I changed the frame count to 9360. So far I have no luck. It would seem like Brawl can only load a certain number of keyframes per stage...at least that's my guess.
I thought of a second way of accomplishing this before, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. An alternative to animating the dragon would be to have the dragon loop it's 120 frames in place and just tween the stage to move, and have the camera follow the stage. However, when I do that...the camera just follows the dragon and the stage moves by the screen. I'm not sure what else I could do. |
