Well... I'm kinda new to Tib Web unsure.gif , and I don't have any real "Skill" really sad.gif but I have a TON of ideas which makes it REALLY hard to mod... I mainly just stick to myself in these matters but I decided to release what I think is the best images I've made so far...

Ion Shots... useful for GDI pulse infantry... also added a tiberium one for Nod inspired by Tiberium Odessey's Disiple Light Infantry.

Version 1.1: Attached File  New_Tib_Ion_Rounds.zip ( 1.36K ) Number of downloads: 321

Version 1.0: Attached File  Tib_Ion_Rounds.zip ( 969bytes ) Number of downloads: 274


UPDATE: I've added a new updated image plus two anims for the new images. Low Anim quality is because I changed to Jpeg before making GIF.

welcome aboard.

your anims as gif Ion:Attached Image Tib:Attached Image
They are not bad for a first attempt, but they are still a quite simple MSPaint job. First they lack a bit of perspective, since each single piff looks like a side view. The different color shades are quite good, but all piffs look the same. Make them different (size and shape) and give them some single pixel flying away (like tiny debris). Maybe a color conversion of the original piffpiff anim would help too (or use this as a template). Also each piff disappears in 3 steps, except the last one. Make some more variations here too.

You can use EasyGifAnimator or any other program you can find with google, that can convert single images to gifs.
XCC Mixer can extract the frames for you in single images.

much better. thumbup.gif
now the only thing that i would complain is the quite simple shape of the main piffs. The big blue triangles could also have a more random shape, so they look more like explosions. They should also disappear/shrink towards their centre (or expand and disappear beginning from the centre) and not just shrink in the ground. e.g. Make them darker at each step and remove the outer part.
You can also combine all the different disappear methods.

The tiny debris look cool and fit very well, but their anim could be a bit more smooth. At some point it seems like they jump too far, which makes them more like random glitter and not like particles flying away (but the trend towards flying particles is there, so it needs just a bit more to make them perfect).

Well I would change the debris but I don't know where you mean it jumps out too much...

Also I'm a bit lazy on details like that lol.gif

BUT I decided to use the OS Palette Editor to edit anim palette to create a Laser Version, includes .PAL of course

Here it is: Attached Image

and Here's Download: Attached File  Laser_Rounds.zip ( 1.51K ) Number of downloads: 263


EDIT: I think I know what you mean... It may be because I made the debris come down at one point... as if it was falling
