    Talking How To: Do Light Effects!

    Helllllo again!
    Im going to make a MT! (Mini Tutorial)
    Ill make these for many things about Ganis (Images, Etc.)
    Lets get started,
    Lets say you're do a gun gani and on the 'shoot' you want to add a light effect when the player shoots. (Only because that's cool )
    First you need to find a file in your Graal folder called 'light4.png' well I use this one, suits well,
    Once you have done that, move it to the same folder that the gani is saved in, once you have completed that, add the 'light4.png' image to GraalShop.
    Done? Cool!
    Add 'light4.png' to the barrel of the gun when it shoots, after that save your gani.
    Once you have one that, change your file extension from .gani to .txt
    Then open up notepad and open your gani with the .txt extension, once you're done that you should see some words like SPRITES and some numbers?
    Ok if you scroll down you will find:
    DEFAULTATTR1 hat0.png
    DEFAULTHEAD head.png
    DEFAULTBODY body1.png
    At the bottom below all of these 3 I want you to type COLOREFFECT (Sprite Number) 0.6<---Color 0.2<---Color 0<---Color 0.8 <---Sets the transparency of
    the image.
    So if my sprite number was 23 id put this:
    COLOREFFECT 23 0.6 0.2 0 0.8

    Once you completed that, save it again through notepad, go back to the folder and change the extension back to .gani and you're free to upload the gani to a server and when he shoots it will have a muzzle flash

    Hope I helped, enjoy!

    Totally random: I'm still confused by why iEra has suppressed weapons (ex. AB8 or Souizen) and there is a flash. Usually suppressed weapons don't have a flash in real life. http://youtu.be/b0k69cHjOf8

    You gave one gun example, I am sure some guns produce light energy when the fire.

    "Reduces the amount of noise, and the amount of muzzle flash...."

    Many of the videos mention the military uses it for SPEC Operations. If suppressors produced flash on any weapon, the military would not use it most likely for these operations, if at all.

    Doesn't matter anyway. Its only a game.

    It doesn't matter but if SNK wanted to make the game more realistic he could make them real life like and have no flash for suppressed weapons. Also great tutorial well written and when Im going to try out for a Gani application (if i want to try) and if I make a Gani with a great light effect (if I become a Gani artist) ill tell others it wasn't me who did a good job it was your tutorial.
