try now

remember to do convert and add (and add the .spr.spd file not the .spr.bmp file)

[Muzer]

so... does the .spd file automatically change to reflect the .bmp?
I'll try

[Alien King]

I'll try

i'm not sure, but it only works if you add the .spd file

[Muzer]

Just noticed, Aku is currently known as "Aku and his magically colour changing bandna: It changes from blue to red!"

Just noticed, Aku is currently known as "Aku and his magically colour changing bandna: It changes from blue to red!"

the banana? or the bandana?

but, aku doesn't have a red or blue bandana.........

12 frames left

[Muzer]

sry, red to black (in the game the lnk sprite is still red... the fire one is black)

w00t! can sum1 check if bloopy is on btp at the mo?

[Glenn]

He's not, it's currently 4:00 AM where he is.

[Alien King]

He's not, it's currently 4:00 AM where he is.

mabye he get's up really early, but i doubt it

anyway, done the animation, now just to do the .bmp quickly, and then make sure the directory is clean of any crap

[Muzer]

do the bmp? I thought you'd done it already?

[Alien King]

do the bmp? I thought you'd done it already?

i made an animated gif, by altering the frames from the sprite animations you get at that web page thing... somewhere....

it makes things easier, and i can see roughly how it would look in the game

then i copy the frames onto the .bmp file

[Muzer]

k that clarified it

[Alien King]

all done, and i've just sent the file to Bloopy

hopefully, the newer version will be uploaded at BTP soon

double post edit

list updated

[Glenn]

The new version has been uploaded to BTP, and I'm the first download ;).

I Shall Be The Second

double post edit

i shall now try editing the armageddon to "Bring on the spammers!"

tripple post edit

bloody paint playing up again! paint is a pain

er... quadruple post edit

on both pcs now! WTF is it playing at?

erm... pass? post edit

can u put my edited version of the tcloud.spr in?

PS. If you want to add more frames/bigger frames to a sprite, try opening the corresponding .spr.spd file in Notepad...

I SAID PASS! post edit

it'll look something like this:

frames = 20
height = 60
width = 60
framerate = 25
flags = 3

-the wbrth.spr.spd file
so that person that wanted their wand as a pneumatic drill CAN have it!

i have looked there, i have also conidered altering timings and the number of frames and such. however (probably not with the size) i have the feeling that it would cause problems with online play (and it would complicate things)

thanks to the new linkatron 4000!, i shall now post a link!

There's just one problem I have with this pack. I don't think the cape for the Ninja Rope really knows what to do with itself, and it's sort of driving me crazy with the flipping back and forth when I got above a 90 degree angle (or whatever the angle is, and back down of course :P). Not sure there is any real way to fix that though...

it is the best i could do

normally when roping it looks fine, it's when you start going higher and flipping right over it looks weird (the cape itself isn't very good, and i will get round to fixing it) but the way it moves is more of a problem

*wonders if anyone has noticed iguana flaw*

[Muzer]

*notices it when the game starts which it hasn't done yet :p*

[Alien King]

you mean you didn't actually have to select the flamethrower?

amazing

Bump!

Wow! I can't find the sprite editor anywhere! Can someone pleae give me a DIRECT link to the site it's on? PLEASE

[bonz]

I can't find the sprite editor anywhere!
how about looking on blamethepixel.com? :rolleyes:

site doesn't work for me anymore:(

anyways can I join the forum sprites? this is my sigworm:

I would like to be freeze: I catch fire!

[Alien King]

*wonders if it would be worth to mention looking at the list*

*decides it wouldn't*

[Hot Gravy]

Alright, alright! :mad:

I'll be... um, The Napalm Strike! A dragon flies over and breathes fire on the landscape!

[Alien King]

the napalm stirke plane is the same as the air strike. (and it even uses team colours (i think))

[Akuryou13]

! A dragon flies over and breathes fire on the landscape!but that wouldn't be you. your sigworm is not a dragon, it's a worm.

[Hot Gravy]

but that wouldn't be you. your sigworm is not a dragon, it's a worm.

But my worm would be holding the radio!

Anyways, I suppose I'll be:

The French Toast Strike!:D

Just like Sheep Strike only it's flaming toast instead of flaming sheep!

(Plus instead of the truck a toaster flies by)

[Hot Gravy]

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=4649


Cool list! I hope you finish the other unfinished ones soon! Can't wait :)

Edit: Oh and by the way, I can't find the program that you open "Palette" with, so can you please post a DIRECT download link? Ta!

the .pal files can be opened by any imaging program that can import files (eg, psp)

edit: Can't wait :)

that's a shame, as you're going to be waiting for at least another year

and the double post thing has gone! NOOOO!

[Hot Gravy]

Yeah but I would like to have palette, it looks good!

[bonz]

Yeah but I would like to have palette, it looks good!
you obviously don't know that the abbrevation "psp" means jasc's paint shop pro...
adobe's photo shop should be able to handle it too.
the same goes for corel photopaint.

[Evil Bunny]

owww crap, i forgot all about this stuff man, i'll mail you the starworms one when i get back from school AK

[twoapenny]

Well, if this is still carrying on, how about me as concrete donkey?... Umm my sig worm is... in the character profile somewhere, i cant actually find it... its black cap with 2p and 2p on necklace type thing... umm and instead of a concrete donkey dropping down a giant 2p...
[edit]
Here it is! (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=371001&postcount=213)

that would just look really bad

[XxDangerxX]

You don't know that.

[Alien King]

You don't know that.

a giant 2p piece falling from the sky? not only would it not involve the actual sigworm, but i would have to change more sound files, and make a large 2p, that probably won't look good

[twoapenny]

nah it wouldnt have to change sound files... it'd be funny with donkey sounds... but still i see your point.

[Alien King]

the BtP website has been having some problems, resulting in pretty much everything being deleted including the sprite pack. This means that the file is now unavailable for download until it is uploaded again. I probably won't ask for an upload until i actually get around to updating the sprite pack (which means i need to complete at least 3 sprites depending on how i feel)

nothing has changed, but i did ask bloopy to upload them again - http://www.blamethepixel.com/file.php?id=0059

At least the site was fixed!

[Alien King]

as someone offered help very recently, but didn't know how to use the sprite editor, i came up with this little text file which will be added to the first post (so anyone can read it)

[Alien King]

Just to let you know, I havn't forgotton about this, but I've been a bit busy. I should be able to do something on this over the summer, but we'll see. Again, volunteers for help would be great (and will help motivate me).

I'm going to Texas for a week or two on Monday though, so nothing from me then.

[SuperBlob]

I'm still willing to help

[XxDangerxX]

Um, AlienKing, why did you call me Danger? In the readme. it's XxDangerxX, or at least eXDax. :(

[Alien King]

Um, AlienKing, why did you call me Danger? In the readme. it's XxDangerxX, or at least eXDax. :(

Because I'm lazy. I don't really want to type out the Xs. Also, wouldn't it be easier to recognise you using Danger than it would be using eXDax?

[XxDangerxX]

That's all well and good, except Danger isn't my name. My name involves all the X's.

[Plasma]

That's all well and good, except Danger isn't my name. My name involves all the X's.
Really? Your paren'ts really called you Xxdangerxx? Or do you mean your nickname, in which case AlienKing had made another nickname for you.

[Seita]

I find those unnecessary x's terribly hard to speak out loud. Do you have a tip ?

[XxDangerxX]

I find those unnecessary x's terribly hard to speak out loud. Do you have a tip ?
That's why I shortened it to eXDax for such speaking and verbalisation reasons.

Really? Your paren'ts really called you Xxdangerxx?
Har har. Don't be a smart bottom. stupid censorship

Or do you mean your nickname, in which case AlienKing had made another nickname for you.
Correction. I have a quite few nicknames, none of which include XxDangerxX or eXDax:

The Zekemaster
(Dj.) Ej.
Zekey Boy
Danger

XxDangerxX and eXDax are my screen or USER names (both depend on the context, but mostly it's the former)

I don't think I need to explain the significance of the word "user" in the aforesaid description. You can work it out. Other people make your nicknames, but you make your screen names. You don't use people's nicknames in a formally set out text document like that. You use their user names. Notice that last nickname in the list, "Danger", is among those you don't use in the aforesaid text document.

I hope I've cleared up a couple of issues. Thanks for your patience. :)

[KRD]

I suppose it's just a bad screen or user name, then. :p

[Alien King]

Well, mabye when I actually get around to updating stuff, I'll rename it if I'm reminded. But I am lazy.

[XxDangerxX]

lol. Well actually, I copied that name from a friend, who was called XxDeadlyxX, later renamed deadly, later renamed to its current, deado. I've avoided changing it because of the fact that these forums don't allow you to change it. Although, we could stand to adopt an idea like this (http://forums.beyondunreal.com/showthread.php?t=150260).

I case you didn't know where I've been for the past couple of months, I've been spending some time on the forums in the link. Hands up if you like Unreal Tournament 99! (Or maybe just put a thumbs up as the icon in your post.)

P.S. Isn't it time we got some more emoticons? On comparison, these forums are behind the rest in a lot of ways.

I actually like the simplicity.

[GrimOswald]

I don't think we need more, but I'm not very keen on the ones we have now either. That's probably just me though.

[XxDangerxX]

Yeah this is the only forum I've ever seen that has smileys this small... :(

[[UFP]Ghost]

it's also the only thing in the world that doesn't have stupid emoticons like msn. The smile is horrendous

[twoapenny]

Although, we could stand to adopt an idea like this (http://forums.beyondunreal.com/showthread.php?t=150260).
I agree. Oh how I want a capitalized 'T'. :rolleyes:

[Akuryou13]

That's all well and good, except Danger isn't my name. My name involves all the X's.no it doesn't. no more than reder8's name involved the 8. so put on your big girl panties and deal with it, people are gunna use a shorter version of your name whether you like it or not. and no matter what you say it's going to be derived from your actual name, not some random nickname you feel like you like better now. get used to it, it's not going to change cause you complain about it.

[XxDangerxX]

Also, if this project is still on, I'm wondering if there's an entry for jetpack yet...

[Muzer]

Yeah there is :(

trundah

[Alien King]

Yes, I've already done Tundra's sprite. Besides, that animation wouldn't work... well... it could... it just wouldn't be as easy.

I'll try to continue this project after my GCSEs are all done.

[Lex]

Nice one, anyway, Danger! That is awesome. :)

[XxDangerxX]

Not awesome enough, apparently... :(

[Akuryou13]

Not awesome enough, apparently... :(well it doesn't really fit any forum member, and that's what this mod thing is about.

[Alien King]

Akuryou is right. It is a nice sprite though.

[XxDangerxX]

Well, can someone at least make these into sprites anyway, so that I can at least put it into mine?

Pleeeeease? :bambieyes:

Here's the collection, if anyone's interested and/or bored and/or wants to help out a desperate user:

[Alien King]

Your wfly.gif animation won't work... well, it might... but I'm too lazy and busy to experiment with ideas at the moment.

[XxDangerxX]

Is there anyone who is?
