New Paperdoll Graphics II

CheshireKatt · Post by **CheshireKatt** » Sat Jul 09, 2005 1:42 pm

I'm with you on this, Dominus. Frankly, the idea of a non-paperdoll Spark with everyone else paperdolled feels *WAY* worse than the utterly trivial "oh no, Spark looks like an adult in his paperdoll, the horror!". Or all the effort (or coding work) to scale things for him. It's so much easier to either ignore the size "issue" totally, or just assume that it's his avatar that's drawn too small, and that he's simply tall for his age but retains his boyish looks (and ability to turn his tear ducts on and off like faucets).

Especially when that time could get us more of Crysta_Elf's really good work on other artwork instead.

what "otehr artwork"? ive said already that the only items i havent drawn yet are the three styles of male pants :\

aside from that the only things i can think of are...

a) editing some SI graphics for minor consistancy errors
b) doing the spark paperdoll art

other than the "character costumes" (which i really dont think are needed), and the hawk (which i still think is good enough), can you really think of anything that i could do still?

Don't 'spose someone can get all the sprites thusfar together and put them into a patch?

WJP is working on them as he has time to

CheshireKatt · Post by **CheshireKatt** » Sat Jul 09, 2005 5:29 pm

It was more of a clumsy compliment, combined with a small prod in the direction of "I'm *really* skeptical that a totally different paperdoll set for BG and SI devoted to making Spark shorter is worth the time or effort."

But of course, that's clearly your choice, not mine.

How do u edit the Gumps? I'd like to take a swing at that some time I am quite an artist myself.....

Wizardry Dragon · Post by **Wizardry Dragon** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 11:30 am

Then I feel obligated to search for my whip to "encourage" WJP

Post by **Dominus** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 12:00 pm

Dark: with Exult Studio you can easily view the gumps and save the frames as png (or edit directly with The Gimp).

How is Elf Land crysta elf

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 2:22 am

hideous

id rather not elaborate... just go check the stratics boards if you need examples

thankfully, this is the fist expansion that at least 80% of the playerbase AGREES looks hideous.. might finally get somethin done

of course, a lot of the stuff they added that is non-art related IS really good...

Will the most recent updates (ie the Avatar costumes, Spark's new paperdoll) be put in a Snapshot soon?

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 11:34 am

depends if WJP has the time :\

The weekend's coming up again

DarkAvatar · Post by **DarkAvatar** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 12:03 pm

would it be possible to use Paintshop Pro 6 to edit .PNG images? (I haven't tryed it yet)

Post by **Dominus** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 1:35 pm

of course you can use PSP as well, only with the Gimp you have instant Support by Exult Studio and the possibilty to save in the U7 native shp format.

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 3:28 pm

for example, I use PSP 7 exclusively

What site do you go to to get the graphics and bug fixes when they are done? Do you make a mini patch or do you have to "install" them yourself?

The Viking · Post by **The Viking** » Fri Jul 15, 2005 10:42 pm

They will most likely be put in one of the next snaphots

Can you do 3D modelling? I have 100 models of Sosaria left to create...

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Thu Jul 28, 2005 3:43 am

*pokes WJP* er.. hey man.. you still alive over there? lol

The Viking · Post by **The Viking** » Wed Aug 03, 2005 6:27 am

So when can we expect to see a Snapshot including these improvements?

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Thu Aug 04, 2005 2:45 pm

*pokes WJP madly*

Crowley · Post by **Crowley** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 6:35 pm

I recently got into Exult again and remembered this. Does anyone have all this lovely art all in one package?

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Sun Dec 03, 2006 6:39 pm

i still have it all saved on my pc, but wouldnt have anywhere to store a zip of it

now.. if you mean in the game itself then expect to see a few more pieces of it pop up soon

Hi! Where do I have to put the saved *.gif files and what do I have to do with them to get the new graphics in the game (actually I want to set up the musket graphic in BG)
I'm using the newest snapshot with the Keyring Mod.

Post by **marzo** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 10:16 am

I am working on getting them on Exult. I think I will be done by tomorrow night.

Post by **marzo** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 11:50 am

Most of them should be in the next snapshot. I still have to add a few, but you can now enjoy the avatar costume among many others.

neothehacker · Post by **neothehacker** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 1:09 pm

Thanks for the work so far, can't wait to see the rest.

Crowley · Post by **Crowley** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 4:37 pm

I'm not sure if it is directly related to this, but with the latest snapshot I seem to be unable to wear the new snake or ankh amulets included in Marzo's keyring mod.

Post by **marzo** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 5:17 pm

Download the latest version of the Keyring mod to fix the problem.

Crowley · Post by **Crowley** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 6:58 pm

Will do, sir. That fixes the problem perfectly. Thank you!

Michele · Post by **Michele** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 4:38 pm

Have had problem resurrecting Mariah and Laurianna in the Keyring mod, even when I added the shape 1099 into the resurrectable body list in the Resurrection UseCode which did not help so I reverted the codde to what it had been before.

Lich took out Dupre and Mariah, Dupre was ressable, Mariah just poofed regs.

No idea if this has been fixed or not.

Post by **marzo** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 7:38 pm

That would have been better in a thread of its own. I will check it tomorrow.

Just released a version that fixes that. In the future, please write these bug reports in their own separate threads.
