Y'know Additive Blend,Multiply, Shader effects in short. Sort of how Hero Fighters has additive blend for it's effects.

Impossible... That's all.
RE: Special effects - Asuma - 02-19-2010
Even with the source?
RE: Special effects - no one - 02-19-2010
If you got the source then it could be possible but how can you attain it is a whole different story.

It is possible with the source and without.
You can hex edit anything that you can do with programming, but its extremely hard to achieve such a effect.
With the source to LF2 it would be much easier, but then how would you get it?
RE: Special effects - Bamboori - 02-19-2010
you could actually make use of the transparency filters. won't come out that smooth, but its the best (easiest) method.
RE: Special effects - Silverthorn - 02-20-2010
Okay, these are the problems:
• full 8-bit transparency is only supported by PNG-files. You'd have to modify the sprite-loading routine to make LF2 actually read the png-files without crashing. Also, as the game works entirely with bitmaps, the display routines need to be changed, too (so that it actually works with png instead of bmp)
• the whole blending routines need to be written from scratch. Getting the alpha-value for each pixel and displaying it correctly. The amount of calculations necessary will probably make the default framerate of LF2 drop by at least 10%.
• LF2 is written in C. Nobody has the source-code, though, and that's why the whole programming-deal has to be done in ASM. The operations that have to be done are already fairly hard to do in C, but ASM is another level higher.
Conclusion:

you can also just wait for azzys heroquest, in which those effects are easily possible to create
RE: Special effects - Madara Uchiha - 02-20-2010
Well from what we have established this is impossible. This is the 2nd time I have ever seen this sign@

And it's good to see it.
