BF vs GSB

[th15]

I thought GSB did dynamic damage textures that were applied on top of the ship sprite?

Right, and perhaps cut the undamaged ship sprite into tiny pieces and place those small sections over the damaged area. Therefore, when those sections get destroyed, only that part's damage will be shown.

Congratulations on not paying attention - this is what's being done already.

If it did, why have a _damaged variant of every ship hull in it's folders, like the one Aidan attached there? Given the number of ships in the game, it adds a decent amount to the filesize.

How did you found this image?
I'm interested.

There are .dds plugins for GIMP floating around, not too hard to find one and install it.

No, no, I mean getting the completely damaged ship sprite like the one AidanAdv posted(meaning the one from GSB itself), then getting the undamaged version, cut it up, and patch up the damaged parts. Basically the same thing that was done originally, but with the original game sprites instead.

I believe that was what we were Aidan was already proposing, so I suppose my comment still applies.
