[Open Assets] Pretty Shield 2.0

TehRealSalt submitted a new resource:

Pretty Shield - Be able to see your player sprites

I've never really been a fan of SRB2's shield sprites since they cover so much of the player sprites, especially compared to the Sonic 3 shields. So I went and made my own visuals for them, which uses transparency, and makes the very big layers into background layers, to make them much less intrusive.
- Force: Entirely new animation.
- Elemental: Water bubble became a background layer and is now additive, matched the flames themselves color to the actual fire sprites.
- Attraction: The solid...

Is this intentional? Rings still follow me even if I lose the shield.

Really good sprites, but one nitpick and one bug. I dont really like that the characters are in front of the shield, and in opengl mode with the 3d models, (also in normal opengl i think) the sprites just break and dont look good at all. Also thank you very much for increasing the area in which rings get attracted to you.

is it re-usable ?

It says [Open Assets] right there. That means it’s reusable.

If the only rings still attracting to you are the rings that were attracted before you lost it, of course it is. Imagine how sad it would be for you to lose those sweet rings :(

But in all seriousness now, imagine how difficult it would be to code the paths the rings would follow once you lost the shield. Imagine them not being attracted to you anymore and just floating… or flying in the same direction forever… it’d be weird.
