Tree with no falling animation

[pawel95]

The woodcutter does not cut down this tree in KaM: (no animation for them falling)

That is annoying when they are in your area and you want to remove them to build there.

Not to this nice map, but to this statement. This mean, that in orignal TPR+TSK there where no animation,too.
For palms in Remake there is no animation either,right?

Can you send me pls this "not animated" tree via Email. I cant find it in my Export files in the Remake as a BMP file?!
Maybe i could spend some time to that tree.

When you export trees.rx it is: 109, 110, 111.

Ahh now I see. Thx

Only first tries for today. it is nearly impossible(for me) to make simply grafic from other perspectives, than the pictures shows. So i combinated some fallen tree´s with this tree. The shadows are simple,but biggest problem for me.
Here only Alpha State Pictures(Animations are easy, if i have finished 4-5 fallen pictures,like other trees):

Original tree:


First fallen picture:


Maybe last(hardest to make) picture:


This is the original picture, from an other Tree"type":



Those are only "first drafts"

I split these posts from czechboss's map topic because they were not related.

@Pawel: The images you made are quite blurry and obviously edited, I think they'll look unnatural in KaM.
I'm also not sure whether this tree should be given a falling animation, some map authors assume it can't be cut down and put it to cover ugly bits in the map like tile edges that can't be fixed. I guess it wouldn't do much harm though, what do other people think?

I don't like trees that cannot be cut, but as long as we don't have the animations, I can live with it.

Yeah i know, this are the first drafts. However I can´t make this tree normaly from an other perspective,because the paint-program cannot think, how maybe the tree are looking on the bottom.

It's the effect you try to fix here, not the cause. Why won't you change the editor, so the unfallable trees are marked somehow, and map makers won't put them if they don't really mean to?

Editor? what you mean?

[sado1]

I mean, if mapmakers would stop putting these trees UNLESS they really want to, the problem wouldn't be happening again and again on new maps

Ahh yes this is right. Or only on Tactic maps

What?! No way! If this tree could be cut down, than we may as well be able to remove palm trees, desert shrubs, big rocks, etc.
If there is a problem in a map where there are too many of these trees than that is a problem with the map not the tree..

[Krom]

Problem is that this tree looks too similar to other cut-able trees, but palms - not.

[Ben]

But it defiantly looks different enough that it isn't hard to distinguish between the two. For new players this could be a problem, but since these trees usually (and it probably shouldn't be otherwise) accompany other trees, it shouldn't take long for new players to figure it out. And on that note, why can't they cut down palm trees? A new player wouldn't know-- or understand-- that either.

[Private.NL]

Playing the game a lot would learn that. I managed to find out at TSK 1. The forest on the right of the map has one tree like that. And the palmtrees, i found out about that on tropical dundee.

Post reported However nice that you have at least remind me about this topic I have to say that there is no update from my site, cause it was too much work to do, when I had other tasks in kam to do and the finished work would bring "ONLY" one new tree to the game, that is cutatble
