File:Luna Ranger.gif

Summary
TL;DR: I've been gone from Wikiworks to finish this "little" project for LD's late birthday. Go on, DMS; Do your worst to me.

This project was started on 710-12, but no real preparations were made (except for File:SR_Luna.png). The real struggle began somewhere by early June (or maybe a few months before that?) for the database and then at late July, with somewhat long breaks in-between each task (hundreds).

This here was all made by "scratch"; Recording the stickmen walking and attacking (Gunner and Angel in this case), as well as the enemies from Castle Gate. About 20 recordings were made (probably a little less for the first set before I upgraded to the SSD).

Obviously, it depicts Luna using her trusty weapon from the Fan-Ball stories: The XM6000 machine gun. That is NOT the full animation though, as it only uses ONE out of the THREE attacks it is capable of (In this case, it is the primary attack).

I was going to make the second part of this animation including the other two (for a total of 500 frames, in this it has only 180), but I don't want to torture myself any further with non-wiki projects. Sorry, DMS.

The frame rate might look odd, but when I tried out recording at 50 fps (0.02s), it was too fast, so I opted for 15 fps (0.03s, 0.03s, 0.04s, ...). EVERY detail of time has been considered (like the totally inaccurate bullet speed for example. No character shadow, though). This is 18 seconds long, by the way.

Luckily enough, I had just about enough effort to at least finish this for Ludicrine's birthday... TWO WEEKS LATER.

And as complicated as it was, I didn't add the numbers for visual effects, but imagine that AT is 60-80 EVERY BULLET, with 2-5 FRAMES PER BULLET.

Thanks for the following tools for making hell a little cool:

And last but not least:
 * Ulead GIF Animator
 * HyperCam 2
 * VirtualDub
 * Renamer
 * Multiple Image Resizer
 * Picture Merge Genius
 * MS Paint XP (Duh)
 * Snipping Tool
 * AutoHotkey
 * Axialis IconWorkshop
 * Microsoft Excel for the database

Happy late birthday, Ludicrine/DMSwordsmaster!

Note to self: Update the Vault with damage values/colors and many stuff that I've learned using pure speculation.

Note to note to self: Never spend your tasks at night. *Crashes for the night*

N2n2n2self: I really want to replay SR, but never got the chance to due to half of these documents sitting on my PC chassis.
