Fun with Auras!

[Sepharius]

Here's a conventional glow aura.



For the aura on my second page post, here's the pack:

I do not claim any credit for making these auras. I found these in an aura pack I downloaded and modified them so heRO can use them. :p

Ok, gave up on hand drawing (because I suck)

Tried various things (glowing background, outlining, brightening to decrease transparency) but I think the original ended up looking the best...

This aura is EXTREMELY difficult to see on light/white tile, if not impossible. Stand on darker ground or in a shadow to appreciate it :p

Here's a simple, functional aura for us people who rotate their camera alot.

The aura itself is aligned properly, I just turned the camera for the screenshot so you could see the whole thing.

Changing your aura, a guide!??It's actually quite easy.

There are 3 relevant files:

auraring.bmp
aurafloat.tga
whitelight.tga (or freezing_circle.bmp for nontrans aura)


#1:??download or create an aura

#2:??place files in this folder:

heRO> data > texture> effect

Just extract to the folder above and rename the files accordingly (if needed).??If downloading an aura from online, make sure the file formats are as I stated above for each file.??If your aura is for a non-trans character, you will need to convert the whitelight file into a bmp and name it freezing_circle instead.[b]

24-bit .bmp and .tga files for full effect. .bmp files need a black background, and .tga files need a white background. auraring is the base image, aurafloat is the "swirly thing", and whitelight and freezing_circle are the "floaty things" for trans and nontrans respectively. Why is one a tga and the other a bmp for the floaty things? I blame Gravity.

Also the FMA aura's inspiration was from Shikari; I only acted on it. Just sayin'.

Probably because at the time, they didn't use TGAs, and they never changed it.

Why change something that is not broken.

[graceberry]

Hmm for me black is the transparent background for all of the files.??I haven't had a problem with it yet.??And why change the file types to match???Convenience.??

Also, do note that the freezing_circle is rendered alot smaller than the whitelight, so if its too small when you convert it, try resizing the picture (the actual image, not the canvas size, the total size has to remain 128x128)

Can you please re-upload the sushi aura link :<?
I did something stupid with my data map and now its gone D:

All i get now is; "Sorry, this file is no longer available. It may have been deleted by the uploader, or has expired.

This error is usually caused by requesting a file that does not exist."
