Shader animated Healthpacks + Mega

Well nowhere as detailed as Sevens pack. I went with a more subtle effect. In light areas - not as noticeable - in dark its VERY noticeable.
These are basically completely Ruohis' work. I just added the shaders and extras (normal, gloss, glow)
The buttons on the Healthpack do alternate and glow. However due to the resolution of the video - it isn't noticable. The same goes for the the red bar beside the buttons and below the cross on the mega health. It's also animated with a pulsing light that scrolls across.
I made 2 youtube videos

I've worked a bit on healthboxes: some minor improvements to luma/gloss maps, blinking lights on bh25 / bh100 are similar to the original boxes now.

Models and textures: Ruohis.
gloss/normal maps, bh10 animation: OoPpEe.
bh25 and bh100 animation: Smith

I don't want to spam a new thread for it, these are QRP exploding boxes: baked normal maps and added luma to small box, slower blinking, small box darker.

These are my favorite boxes. I hope OoPpEe don't mind. This thread seems most fitting. Remember to try his boxes first if you haven't yet.

More of a visual timer. Like it starting with no glow, fading in the glow and blinking a couple times before it blows. That may not be possible if the shader loops from the start of map load instead of when the entity is spawned. So will have to see.

This seems to take the grenade explosion timing that most of us learned the hard way has become pointless with that type of feature.

Basically, I can sign what _Smith_ wrote above. Any chance we may get a modified re-release which incorporates those suggestions?

bh10 and bh25 are not distinguishable from each other, witch is not good for gameplay. You should make bh25 and bh100 with a bit stronger and more regular blinking. Other than that I really like them but use only bh10 and not animated glowing bh25 and bh100 ones.

When you say a countdown grenade, do you mean once it's shot, a timer counts down on the side of it? As in, 3, 2, 1, then it blows? That sounds damn amazing

I have tried this at long last as well. Great stuff, but the skins really seem dark to me. Is it possible to brighten them a little? Also, IMHO the glow effect of the blinking areas could be more visible/brighter as well. Maybe you can release a second version with a stronger glow effect?

Thanks for the re-upload. cheers

Once could make the Ogre's mouth move and all - but even at death it'd still be happening.

Oh, you're right OoPpEe, I forgot that.. =/

[LambentHammerBurst]

You can add shaders to monsters - however not presently by particular animation. Once could make the Ogre's mouth move and all - but even at death it'd still be happening. You'd need to do progs.dat editing (basically making a mod) to get it done properly.

Also download link updated. The previous expired.

So for animated items we have:
Explosive barrels
Ammo boxes
Healthpacks

what are some others we could add shaders to?
I have thought of adding a shader to the Thunderbolt/Shaft weapon pickup. Adding a fade in/out on the bottom of the gun. I have added a glow to the Grenade, perhaps I could make it fade in/out and then also apply that to the pickup model.

So is it possible to add animated shaders to mdl's? I think would be a nice idea to add facial anims to some monsters, like the grunt or the ogre..

I just tried to redownload the shader animated Healthpacks but seems the link is dead. Can someone please reupload it ? Thanks.

Please..
