Type: Animated UAC Logo
Summon: [red/green/blue/yellow]UACPainter

Decorate: Captain Toenail
Sprites: Doom Font - http://www.dafont.com/doom.font
Inspiration: Quake3 wall animations

Place the UACPainter actors on your map. Make sure they are facing the correct wall surface,
and make sure they are placed quite close, 8 units should be suffice. Give the UAC Painter a
zheight to adjust the vertical point at which the decal image is 'painted' on the wall.

This only contains an animated UAC logo, but I encourage you to invent your own wall animations
using decals.

I've had this idea in my head for quite some time, using DECALDEF to create cool animations on the walls. You could create groovy disco lights, team-icons for CTF bases, projectors etc. using animated decals. I've never seen it done before though so I thought I would submit this to FX as an example (which is useful in its own right for maps)

Clever trick, really clever

Divine bovine, I've wondered if animated decals are even possible.

That's really awesome.

So is this cool for the sfx shoppe, or is not really the correct kind of thing?

Where else would it go? I guess it could make sense in the Prop Stop, but it's fine as an SFX too.

I hope they don't go towards the gunfight and blood-mayhem decal counter. It would be a shame for the projectors to stop functioning after too much combat.

The decal count is only for dynamically created decals (blood splashes and scorch marks)). Map-placed decals are unaffected. You can have a thousand of them on a map and a max decal value of 0, they will still display.

Well, time to approve and add this I'd say!
