OpenRA gets a decent sequence viewer

Wednesday 28 October 2009 - Filed under Uncategorized

I finally got fed up with the limitations of XCC mixer as a SHP viewer, and wrote a real sequence viewer. Eventually, it will function as an editor too.

Key differences:

• It can read sequences.xml
• It can tell you the index of a particular frame, which is really important for big SHPs, from which you only really want a few frames in the middle
• It shows you where your animation boundaries are, so you can debug animation without having to eyeball a unit in the OpenRA game and *hope* you spot the one frame you’re out by.

Enjoy a screenshot, or if you’d rather play with the real thing, grab the code from GitHub.
