Still cranking out tiles

Still cranking out tiles. This is a nice little experiment with transparency. It turns out emitters don't show up beyond a transparent object, so my idea of having bubbles floating around inside wasn't going to pan out. I could create actual models for the bubbles, but that gets the polycounts quite high. I settled for a nice glowing green tank that you could put people in should you wish to.

I put some more time into the cutscenes last night, though the beginning has a number of them. I really like the new cutscene controls, and noticed the other day that some more animation events are available through scripting. I really like these patches and can't wait for the Hordes of the Underdark one. I hear rumors that a SetAppearance will sneak in.

I'm still working on all those fun .2da and hak pack issues to upgrade Dreamcatcher for SoU. I found out a major issue yesterday, but it was pretty easy to clean up. All my custom visual effects were off by one, so the splash animation showed a swinging blade. Sigh.
