I had a lot of school work this week, so my progress is smaller then I hope. I\u2019m not proud of it but I\u2019m going to work harder in upcoming week.<\/p>\n
I was working on background animations displaying. I manage to load and display proper first frames of animations for each location. At the beginning I thought that I will be able to use same way of loading that is used for objects loading (like for shovel in first location). Sadly, there are more complications with them.<\/p>\n
I was trying to understand how animations for Prince are stored. For each location we have anim.lst file that contains information about all animations of loaded room: special animations of hero (like hero with shovel for first room), background animations (like owl or bats in loc no. 1) and normal animations (like wizard Arivald). I had to implement InstallBackAnimations and InstallSingleBackAnim functions to find and load only background animations. These functions allow to find their proper numbers in anim.lst and load data for them.<\/p>\n
But there are some background animations that has more then one type \/ sub-animation (like owl in first location \u2013 there are animations of her blinking eyes, waving her wings, etc). I decided to store main info (BAS structure) and array of all sub-animations (Anim) for one background animation in one structure (BackgroundAnim) and then create array of these structures (backAnimList) that contains all of them, but I\u2019m not 100% sure if it\u2019s the best idea. Some of background animations can change into normal animations (like gravedigger in first location) and that will be important too.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m still working on finding which sub-animation should be loaded in specific moment – it\u2019s calculated in ShowBackAnims function.<\/p>\n
