Title: Adding additional explosion graphics?
Post by: The Martian on January 19, 2018, 01:45:37 am

Version of OpenXcom being used is: 1.0.803ca40a6 (2017-11-09 14:37) (Nightlies)

(Question) Is it currently possible to add additional explosion sprite sets to the X1.PCK?

---

I tried to add two additional explosion animation sprite sheets using this code:

Code: [Select]

extraSprites:
  - type: X1.PCK
    files:
      8: Resources/TEST/Explosions/Explosion_Version_One.png
      16: Resources/TEST/Explosions/Explosion_Version_Two.png
    width: 512
    height: 128
    subX: 128
    subY: 64
However when I call the new resource with the hitAnimation: variable the game freezes when it should display the images.

(Example weapon derived from a standard Laser Rifle using the new hitAnimation: index and explosive damage type.)

Code: [Select]

items:
  - type: TEST_EXPLOSIVE_RIFLE
    size: 0.2
    costSell: 36900
    weight: 8
    bigSprite: 0
    floorSprite: 0
    handSprite: 8
    bulletSprite: 6
    fireSound: 11
    hitSound: 19
    power: 60
    damageType: 3
    accuracyAuto: 46
    accuracySnap: 65
    accuracyAimed: 100
    tuAuto: 34
    tuSnap: 25
    tuAimed: 50
    clipSize: -1
    battleType: 1
    twoHanded: true
    invWidth: 1
    invHeight: 3
    hitAnimation: 8
    blastRadius: 5

However if I overwrite the standard explosion sprites with this code instead:

Code: [Select]

  - type: X1.PCK
    files:
      0: Resources/TEST/Explosions/Explosion_Version_One.png
    width: 512
    height: 128
    subX: 128
    subY: 64
The new explosion image sequence functions without freezing, but the ability to use the original explosion images are lost.

Am I doing this the wrong way by trying to add the additional graphics to the X1.PCK?

Hi
I've been modding explosion yesterday and try to change files number to higher.  For example 80. Rest code looks fine.
