Wow, excellent work.
I like the many glow animations.

Only the damage frame could use some scorch marks. The broken parts is ok. It just needs a few dark spots for scorched and burned parts.

I wonder if RA2 (Ares?) isn't offering something to get the lights done as a true AlphaImage, not the rather ugly UseNormalLight Transparency=75 greyscaled light.

thanks

it would be nice to use alphalights more, but as far as i know there hasnt been any patches for
them. they are still highly underutilized in ra2.

Not sure if you can chain animation with different alpha image using Next= to create alpha animation.

AFAIK Ares added the ability to attach alpha images to animations, the alpha image will then play though its frames along with the anim.

Ares also added the ability to use alpha images on units too, they will move with the unit & can have 8, 16, 32 or 64 frames for different unit directions (I use this in my mod to add headlights to cars etc).

The (TS) issue of alpha images showing though shroud was fixed but they will discolour selection boxes & cause lag though.

i thought that that only worked for .shp based objects and not for individual animations such as building anims
