Huh?

Having them animate at the full 34 frames caused a weird shift when they looped back to the first image. Cutting them down to 17 frames fixed it.

Now that I've tested this, I see what you mean. Unfortunately, I don't know what causes it, since I've never used the index option to reference frames. However, using range , instead, works:

Overall these are pretty nice. Did you do all the recolors yourself? I think the only one I'm not crazy about is the lava--it's OK, but the yellows are a bit blown out, and the overall range of color isn't as strong. I tried making my own recolor of the 1st frame; this is how it turned out.



What do you think? If you feel this is an improvement, I can fairly easily redo the entire set.

Otherwise, I feel like these are probably worth adding.

Would you mind sharing a demo video? I really would like to see them in action

Yeah I did the recolors, and I had quite the fun time trying to get the frames in proper order since Dolphin doesn't like to dump animations in proper sequence. That lava looks pretty good, I could use the full set.

No, unfortunately I can't record videos at this time. What I can say is that the fluids animate at different rates based on how dense the fluid is (with some random variance to make them a little more dynamic)
From fastest to slowest
water/acid
slime/blood
lava

The original animation was used in a stormy sea scene so this set is really meant to convey turbulence on large liquid bodies or rivers, I don't recommend them for small puddles.

Already tried them ingame, looking awesome

Concerning the small puddles, do you also have textures in such a manor for calmer waters?

I actually do, they're just not properly sorted.

This is everything that I could get out of Summoner. The game always crashes as soon as the second map loads so don't expect any more resources from this game.
