BFRES: Custom Texture Animations (original) (raw)

Currently you can easily make custom ones from a .yaml file. These can be created and edited in any text editor of your choice.

Optionally you can export an existing one from the tool by right clicking on one, and exporting with the .yaml extension.

For this tutorial, i will simply show you how the file works, as you can simply use a template from here and edit however you like.

• Red shows the animation name.
• Below is the Path. (not needed to be set)
• The FrameCount is the total amount of frames the animation has.
• Under that is a list of materials in the animation. In green is the material name.
• Then there is TexturePatternInfos. This is where the data is stored. The name parameter, is the sampler name. _a0 for diffuse map, _n0 for normal map, _e0 for emissive map, and _s0 for specular map. Note the material must support these types! The texture list will have a sampler for the texture which can be used.
• The constant data is to always display a specified texture (put texture name where null is at), This will ignore the curve data if set.
• Then there is a keyframe list, with the frame and texture to show at that frame.

Template #1 Basics

Name: NewTextureAnimation_ftp Path: Loop: false FrameCount: 2 MaterialAnimConfigs:

• Name: MaterialNameHere TexturePatternInfos:
  • Name: _a0 IsConstant: false ConstantValue: null CurveData: KeyFrames: 0: Texture1 1: Texture2

  ParamInfos: []

Template #2 MoreMaterials!

Name: NewTextureAnimation_ftp Path: Loop: false FrameCount: 2 MaterialAnimConfigs:

• Name: MaterialNameHere1 TexturePatternInfos:
  • Name: _a0 IsConstant: false ConstantValue: null CurveData: KeyFrames: 0: Texture1 1: Texture2

  ParamInfos: []

• Name: MaterialNameHere2 TexturePatternInfos:
  • Name: _a0 IsConstant: false ConstantValue: null CurveData: KeyFrames: 0: Texture1 1: Texture2

  ParamInfos: []

Template #3 More texture maps!

Name: NewTextureAnimation_ftp Path: Loop: false FrameCount: 2 MaterialAnimConfigs:

• Name: MaterialNameHere TexturePatternInfos:
  • Name: _a0 IsConstant: false ConstantValue: null CurveData: KeyFrames: 0: Texture1_Alb 1: Texture2_Alb
  • Name: _n0 IsConstant: false ConstantValue: null CurveData: KeyFrames: 0: Texture1_Nrm 1: Texture2_Nrm
  • Name: _e0 IsConstant: false ConstantValue: null CurveData: KeyFrames: 0: Texture1_Emm 1: Texture2_Emm

  ParamInfos: []

```yaml Template #4 Constant! ` Name: NewTextureAnimation_ftp Path: Loop: false FrameCount: 2 MaterialAnimConfigs:

• Name: MaterialNameHere1 TexturePatternInfos:
  • Name: _a0 IsConstant: true ConstantValue: Texture1 //Always shows on all frames CurveData: null ParamInfos: []

Once done, simply right click your animation and replace it with the yaml.

Or you can import as a new one

Note for these to work in game, you must use a material that has texture animations used! Being able to use new animations may vary depending on the game, and the way they are loaded!
