I think if there is a Gani forum there should be an SFX/Music forum as well

Sure, it's just as much development as levels or npc scripting or graphics or ganis.

eek no, thatd be massive, imagine level editing, scripting and gfx allll in one forum, thatd be ridiculous.

They should do what I suggested earlier.
Hide all the sub fourms and make it so you click the main category of those fourms to be taken to all it's sub fourms.
So Development would be the main fourm.
You click that and it would take you to a list of fourms like
General Development
NPC Scripting
Levels
GFX
Ganis
SFX
Doesn't make the main page look so cluttered and it isn't complex.

LESS IS MORE

LESS IS MORE

SAY NO TO MORE FORUMS!

Ganis are a very basic area, it requires mostly patience, rather than skill. Anyone can make a good looking gani w/ the right GFX =\ so I am against it.

Look at the name: Gani. Graal Animation. It's a moving picture, and I can't see any reason to associate it with scripting. We don't split the graphics forum into png and mng sections, so why distinguish ganis just because they're not a conventional graphical format? The argument that scripting is necessary to use ganis is stupid; scripting is needed to use any graphics in any complicated way. If people wanna show off/ask about gani scripting then they can post in the scripting forum. If they wanna do the same for normal ganis then they can go to the graphics forum. We don't need yet another stupid empty forum.

you could almost say the same thing about levels, its the same as ganis in a way, just placement of objects in the correct spots =/

You know, without ganis, there would be no walking, no sword, no you X_x Making ganis is almost like part of the game, mostly everything is made with ganis.

Yeah, dont make us gani people stop working and make you all become nothing. ;) ;) :p ;)

They're essential but that doesn't mean they're not hideously easy to make. And I personally could live without the "/killmyselfinanewfunnyway" commands.

Those are slighly stupid. Too bad i made one, it's so fun too. If i could find it....i think it is on NPC forums, the kickfloat...
I just think Gani's should get as much respect as anything else...well..maybe not quite as much, but nowadays all the cool movements will be ganis.

Person man, I agree X_x All the / ganis where based off of my gani /pmdrown, which was based for when you had lotsa PMs. Then everyone started making those...things. x.o I want them deleted.

Grim Squeaker:

Actually there would be, we'd still be making use of the sprites #0-40. Har.
The only thing Gani's have really done is making the more complex image manipulations easier, to those with the patience.

True, true. x.o Well. Ganis make life easier than using sprite commands a lot. There. o.o

Holy:
One of my first ganis, and it isnt an /omgimdeadlol kind.

Wanna see my first gani? Here it is. o.o

omg leetzorz

That's what i was thinking when i read this thread. It would probably be the best way to go about it.

No.

why? ganis are one of the most important things on graal these days, without them, a lot of 2k2 would be impossible or a lot laggier using showimg

Don't forget about 2k1, especially, cause 2k1 uses Bomys and New Bodies. =O If we had showimg we'd be disconnected about every 2 minutes.

The issue is not about the importance of ganis, it's about the necessity of a dedicated forum. I haven't seen a single valid reason to make one yet.

Well, I can come up with a good couple. We can discuss about new Graalshop programs, I can make a gani walkthrough so you know how to work Graalshop and master it, I can answer if anyone needs help, and it's basically just as important as the levels and NPCs and Graphics forums -.o

Future Improvements.
Graphics.
PMs/Graphics/Who the hell would need help with ganis?
And it basically isn't.

Actually I get a lot of PMs for help with ganis. o.o Some people have a hard time animating and using ganis.

There is no hope for these people.

Well, there are more yeses than nos. So there will be a forum. We'll see if it is worth the space.
