Zamboni Animation

Zeke K · 08-18-2020, 09:31 PM

Hey guys, I put this together to replace the arrows that scroll across the screen when the game is processing. Instead of arrows this will give you an animated line of zambonis scraping the ice:

This replaces the folder 'sim_animation' in your chosen skin folder, you should make a copy of the folder first should you want to go back to the default animation.

This should be a permanent addition to the game!

I've upgraded my animation and added a white "ice" line below the zambonis which anchors it to the page more, otherwise it's just floating there in the new location. Here's how it will look now ingame FHM7. The Zamboni run from right to left (off screen):

This replaces completely the 'sim_animation' folder in your skins folder.

If anyone is using/wants to use this animation change it's just a matter of copying/replacing the sim_animation in to the skin folder of your choice.

I have them in FHM8 and they are fully compatible.

The above link is still available for those who want to try it out.

Thanks!

I am not sure just where to copy this file. Do I make a new skin folder as I don't see a skin folder, or am I missing something? Thanks for any advice. Figured it out, mostly by accident, almost like being at a game during the periods. Nice touch.
