ok. i'm working on replacing the sprites in W:A with custom ones i made. i have decided to do it based on forum members worm characters.
eg. the dragonball worm sprite will be changed into akuryou
the neutral worm sprite will not be changed!
here is the list of the characters that i have put together (nowhere near finished)
i intend to replace all of the weapon worm sprites, and some of the utility worm sprites
my knowledge on worm characters is very limited, so i need to know them and a suggestion in the weapon used
the attached list will be edited a lot (sorry it's a word document text document now attached too)
edit: this list only contains people's places which are very unlikly to be changed
Work so far has been UPLOADED! : http://www.blamethepixel.com/file.php?id=0059
edit: Attached Palette file if anyone who want to help needs it.

Looks like a good idea. T17 would never do it, but it looks good all the same. Could you put me in? maybe use my Extendable Toasting Fork as the Prod or Baseball Bat?
Also, before Trax gets in here:
MORE SPRITES??? *@^X$&!!!!

It will take a heck of a time to hack the game so much. Btw, isn't the sprites somewhere in the D:\ ?

Alien King
4 Oct 2004, 17:26
no. the main sprite directory is data\graphics\gfx.dir
this contains the data for all the sprites (took me ages to work this out)
so (hopefully) all i have to do, is edit all the .bmp's that will come out of that (thx to the sprite editor)

your welcome, i saw your status on the bwa forum as a rope lover, and i know u love the rope (and are quite good with it) and i didn't know who else
and of course i'll post it here (why wouldn't i?) however it will take bloody ages to make
Nice idea, could be interesting...

mabye. however, invisibilty doesn't require a sprite (i think)
i'll see
Can I be in for mole(beaver?)bomb
i'll see, i was thinking of using oldskoolcrazy for the mole weapon thrower (as he is a mole worm)
i'll try to make u the weapon (the actual mole)

Well, if you want it for anything, here's my sig worm (baseball bat? I dunno.).

u need a special program to look at it
grenade is taken by swed
plz don't ask to be anything that's taken up (like the grenade)
it would help a lot if your sig worm had something in common to the weapon it will use

Wow,I never saw someone shooting a handgun behind and the shots to go in the front...
...or is it only an example and he doesn't always shoot behind?

SargeMcCluck
5 Oct 2004, 19:00
He shoots infront, the smoke is coming out because he's already shot and is now holding the gun up.
The problem I was thinking of was the whole "yellow, feathered and has a beak" thing.

This is going to be sooooo confusing to people who play online but don't know the forum :p or would it not work online?
Maybe deadcode could add an option in next update to have "Team17 Forum SigWoms" enablable? Dunno really...

people who don't have this or are not using it, will not be able to see it. as it is replacing the normal sprite directory (make a backup of this)
when u make a move, it is telling the other players to load a certain sprite. so if u replace this sprite with something else (with the same name) u will change how it looks (to u only)
remember, this will take ages (and i mean bloody ages) to make and get working correctly
on a lighter note:
WORK HAS BEGUN!
i have succeeded in changing 3 sprites (the dball, the dball boom and the kamikaze star trail thing (to suit the look of akuryou))
unfortunatly, the colours have turned out wrong. the dark red loads, but the other colours are replaced with black (this looks really bad on the dball and the boom)
here are some screenies

Alien King
6 Oct 2004, 21:37
yeah well.
i have hit a large barrier on the road to progress
i have now edited the kamikaze sprites (to suit akuryou) only part of the background flame (which is red) shows. the rest is black (apart from the teeth and eyes i think) (this is when i only play the game)
i have know started again (for the 5th time) and have started experimenting to see if i can fix this

I wonder if Deadcode could help you with this. Maybe you could ask.

RastaMahata
7 Oct 2004, 00:43
actually a long time ago roadmaster and I tried to do this, but we got tired because it required a lot of time. but then again, we wanted to make new sprites from scratch (ninja teddy bears, psycho chefs, etc)... when we made the first animation (walking), it looked like crap (palette problem), and I didnt had the knowledge to fix the problem at that time. If I only had the time to try again now... :(

bloopy
7 Oct 2004, 03:45
Perhaps it would be helpful to use the existing palette or decide on a new one to use? Although Deadcode is planning to do away with the palette thing completely.
My worm is in my avatar, it's a sort of an alien. Maybe I could be teleport? I'll have a go at doing a teleport animation of Bloopy worm if I find the time.

Alien King
9 Oct 2004, 17:53
oh fine
i still think u should use a sniper rifle. but hey, a scoped shotgun is easier (that way i don't have to change any sound files (shame i've already done that))
so, final choice, sniper rifle, or scoped shotgun?
edit: work has been delayed due to this colour problem. help on it would be great
double post edit:
a small success
i have succeeded in changing the colour of a crosshair (from blue to red) by changing the colours in the palette
however! when i tried to do the same thing to the dball, kamikaze star thing, and dball boom. the same problem has before occured

That's cool Alien King. I would've asked to be suicide because in the game the worms head grows and then explodes, and you could've made the worms stomach grow then explode. Although my avatar hasn't been made yet, the worm is supposed to be incredibly fat. Understand? 'Cause I'm not sure I do!

IIRC Fire Punch is free,isn't it?If yes,maybe make it a knife?If not,I have no idea.:p
fire punch is taken by glenn
oh, and what does IIRC mean?
i can't make the concrete donkey into a fat worm for severeal reasons
1. i can't make a worm fat and make it look good
2. i can't enlarge a worm to that size
3. i would have to replace a lot of sounds
4. what the hell would that do to the holy wisdom of the donkey
5. i just don't want to replace the donkey like that
after having a look at these new sprite directory files, i have a theory. the new patch will work with a true colour pallete. (this has yet to be tested)

IIRC - If I Recall Correctly
1. No one can.

What difference will that make? (idiot terms please :p)
previously, as everyone knows, the game only runs properly using 256 colour pallete
this gave me a lot of problems, as i can only change 1 colour on the pallete per sprite (dunno why)
if my theory is correct, when i update my comp, all my probs will be solved (hopefully)

after looking around on this computer, in the sprite directory file, and after some testing, i have discoverd:
that the normal file doesn't seem to be used, and the 2 new ones don't seem to contain proper sprites (after i extract them, the .bmp's there are 0 bytes (and when i load them, there is no pic))
if i try to change these sprites, i get problems. (same as the 1st problems i had)
i'll let u know if i have any breakthroughs
any help on this matter would be nice

double post edit:
a success (at last)
i have changed the ninja rope sprite and made it cyclaws
i did this by removing the 2 new sprite files, so the original file would be used
Notes
Due to its larger size, this release is distributed as a self-extracting executable. With 7zip it can acheive a higher compression ratio than that of which the ZIP format is capable.
Due to the changes regarding colours, a pair of new sprite archives have been included in this release. These files are approximately 12 MB each, and are not internally compressed because this allows the distributed package to compress much better (for a quicker download).
If you are not going to use the colour deficiency option, you may safely delete Gfx1.dir, freeing 12 MB of hard disk space. Similarly, if you are only going to use it, you may delete Gfx0.dir. Deleting them both will still allow W:A to run, but will disable the new colour features.
The original Gfx.dir is still used for compatibility purposes. Do not delete it.
Due to the larger sprite archive, W:A now requires 8 MB more RAM than before. If this is a problem for you, please post in the support forum (see section 5.0).
As an upshot, W:A may run be slightly faster in-game since it will not need to decompress sprites on the fly.
there we go.
(the blue lines on the cape are there for editing reasons only (they will not be removed either))

the neutral worm sprite will not be changed!
here is the list of the characters that i have put together (nowhere near finished)
i intend to replace all of the weapon worm sprites, and some of the utility worm sprites
my knowledge on worm characters is very limited, so i need to know them and a suggestion in the weapon used
the attached list will be edited a lot (sry it's a word document)

I used animation shop because of the way it can export .gifs with a custom palette, even if it's just a single frame .gif
EDIT: 5 posts 'til I'm a senior!

No I was talking about the .spr files. For the BITMAPS, I got the .gif, copied the first frame, pasted it into paint shop pro, raised the colours to 24-bit, resized it to fit the 24 pixel width (the 32 pixel height is not an issue), lowered it to 8-bit according to weaponspalette.pal, and saved it as a bitmap. The initial was a .gif, not a .bmp; there was NO initial .bmp.

i'm confused
from the start
i open the sprite editor
i find the sprite i want
i click on extract and convert
i now have a .bmp file and a .spd file ([name of sprite].spr.bmp and [name of sprite].spr.spd)
what do u do next?

17 Mar 2005, 11:55
Oh I get it. No, I don't extract and convert the sprite.I just used the extract, convert, log button. I then made the bitmap from the waving flag gif by copying each frame one by one with all the right palettes and such, replace grave#.bmp, edit grave#.spd accordingly, and reconstruct from log. Then there's a nice little perfectly created sprite of my waving flag under grave#.spr. I then extract it and put it into a zip file.
Questions?

LOL, that's seriously bad danger. Btw if u guys need any help on getting the palettes done, might i suggest adding me to msn. I've been experementing with the frontend of worms, i know how to work the palettes of worms. Also for the graves; you could also replacing the image in the teameditor of wa. I also know how to do that if u want.
In fact... i'd like to help, anything else i could do?

What do I have to do?
PS: Might ya add me somewhere too? :D
Edit: I have tried something new...i just extracted gfx0.dir and then I extracted gfx.dir into the same folder...then I made a gfx0.dir out of those files...the grave worked....but I had ****ing upped colours everywhere f.e. white worms!

alright
here's what i know
when i load up the sprite file after i've converted it into a .bmp, it's got it's own little pallete. i can change one colour in this pallete, and one colour on the image. anymore, and things start going wrong. so if i load into the image, the weapon pallete taken from the pallete directory, it all goes to hell
any ideas why?

just so you know, AK. I've done the entire DragonBall animation with my sigworm in it already. if you want the file I can easily post it (my dragonball avatar).
unless there's a color problem with the way I did it, it should work fine.

black on black!
in animation shop or whatever, u have a transparant background. it's not a problem. but .bmps don't support that, so the background is black
it can occasionaly look good
and i do hope that u have every frame of the dragon ball animation. that would be so useful

You do realise that black means transparent? If you don't want a see-through bandanna, I suggest you change the black on the bandanna to the darkest grey in the palette
EDIT: I'm going off to try implementing my grave into the actual game now.
EDIT2: You're right. It doesn't work. The best palette match is with grave5. I have the working grave sprite with it's respective bitmap (For the create team screen). Extract to your Team17 folder. Do NOT extract it to your Worms Armageddon folder as you usually would, as it will create some unwanted folders. Click "Yes" to "Do you want to replace such and such". If you want to restore the old gravestone5.bmp, just delete the new one and just take off the .saf at the end of gravestone5.bmp.saf. Do as well with grave5.spd/.bmp/.spr.saf

actually, pallete index 1 (or possibly 0) is transparant
this just so happens to be black. part of the eyes of the worm are black, but not transparant, cyclaws' cape is black, but not transparant

Oh, really? Well, you might want to take a look at a screenshot I took from WWP's mission editor.
the terrains are made differently. they just take black as the transparant background
if i gave u the sprite directory i made, u would see that cyclaws' cape is pure black.
here ya go
look at them in order, and pay attention to the colours
don't u think it would be a bit pointless argueing to me about blacks? the worms pupils, eyebrows, the mad cows, they all have black in them

He's right btw. I always set the first palette entry to be bright pink for my graves so that the background is easier to sort out.

i have not done it incorrectly
the sprite i have edited, is the transition between the normal worm, and the bloopy worm
i'll put it into an animation shall i, and i'll also post up the last frame

i'll e-mail u the work so far if u wish
the up and down files are going to have different transition effetcs each
2 reasons why.
1. that one was a pain to do
2. it will add variation
then i'll have to do the teleportation effects, which will also have up and down ones
anyway........
i'll email u the stuff so far and a readme file (it's all to big to post here)
