Title: First Attempt at Spriting For Charas
Post by: GrooveMan.exe on August 06, 2006, 09:51:12 AM: No, It's not a complete sheet - at least not yet. I'm just looking at what I can come up with, spriting for something so small.

A Sci-fi style battlesuit, and a black face with brown eyes (because for some reason, the creat-a-char thingy doesn't have that combination).

More later, but C+C?

Post by: Grandy on August 06, 2006, 11:37:13 AM: Wait... I know ya. You're from TFS, aren't ya?

Anyway, the cahr is not bad, though it could get better.

Post by: EXO Muffin on August 06, 2006, 11:41:26 AM: Eh, it's okay. Needs some head-shading and a bit more detail, though. Glad to see that you're helping out the Charas community!
Title: Got it!
Post by: GrooveMan.exe on August 06, 2006, 12:02:31 PM: Ok, so add more detail too the head.
I'm not going to try hair just yet, it's a bit beyond me.

By the way, when I'm done, what next? Should I submit the sheet as a whole, or split it into its individual parts and submit it to that caras generator?

And yes, it's the same GrooveMan.exe from The Fallout Shelter. (And Sprites Inc., and The UnderSquare. I join a lot of forums.)
Title: ZOMG UPDATE!
Post by: GrooveMan.exe on August 06, 2006, 05:31:35 PM: Improved head, seprated them into individual objects.

Although, what about the clothing recolours... is that up to me, or do other people chip in?

Post by: EXO Muffin on August 06, 2006, 11:42:49 PM: That looks great! The battle suit looks awfully like a bathrobe, though.

About the recolor things, you could do it yourself, it doesn't look that hard to recolor. People usually edit it themselves, though. If you want to get some 'cool points,'(It's an expression people use here;not actually tallied or anything.) you could submit tons of versions at once.

You should submit it to the generator. You might wanna use the transparent green as your background, though. It saves people some work.

0_o Bathrobe? Converting a design to something so small is harder than I thought. The suit is based of a larger sprite of 'me', done in MegaMan Battle Network style.

About the sheet transparency; I tried using the green that was there, but it didn't go transparent in the editor. The white did, so I stuck with that.

Post by: EXO Muffin on August 07, 2006, 03:42:10 AM: It still looks kinda jacket-y in the comic.
Title:
Post by: GrooveMan.exe on August 09, 2006, 04:30:55 PM: Well, if it looks the same, then it worked. ^_^

But I still need confirmation about the transparency issues. What rules are there for it to be submittable?
Title:
Post by: EXO Muffin on August 10, 2006, 06:06:58 AM: You have to make to not use the transparent green anywhere in the sprite(just the BG) or make the BG color not used anywhere else.
Title:
Post by: I Have a Sandwich on August 10, 2006, 08:00:08 PM: White actually. Anything white will be transparent. Use the off white technique.

Post by: I Have a Sandwich on August 11, 2006, 01:29:27 AM: Yeah, I still dont understand that at all XD Are you telling him to use green as the transparency? Cuz whites the transparent.

Post by: EXO Muffin on August 14, 2006, 09:53:52 AM: OMGRLY? RUSHUR? 10 y duz it sho green!!!!1one!

Post by: Ryos4 on August 14, 2006, 02:47:48 PM: alright instead of arguing, you could just say.

What ever color is the background of the entire set, will be what is transparent in game. If the background is green, the green of the pic is transparent. If its white, the white is transparent. It could even be fricken purple. So just stop arguing about dumb things.
Title:
Post by: I Have a Sandwich on August 14, 2006, 02:50:15 PM: O_o I didn't realize that was an agument. I was just confused on what they thought the transp was.
Title:
Post by: EXO Muffin on August 14, 2006, 02:59:33 PM: I'm very sorry, Ryos. (By the way; I'm talking about the transparent color for the Charset generator layers.)Didn't mean to argue. I'm just saying; that, well, if the transparent color for the Char-Gen is white; then, why does it show green?
Title:
Post by: GrooveMan.exe on August 15, 2006, 08:01:18 PM: Like I said, I uses the same shade of green that all the others had and it didn't work. But white did. So, just as long as that's widely accepted, I'll do all my sheets that way.

And here's another question:
I looked at the completed submissions and there are a few catergories I don't understand:
Systems/Systems2
Chipsets
Battle Weapon

What do these consist of and what's the standard formatting for submission?

(I don't have RPG Maker, so the concepts are new to me)
Title:
Post by: Ryos4 on August 15, 2006, 08:04:02 PM: Its fine to use white, as long as you never include that same shade of white in any parts of the charset, chipset, ect. Or that part will become invisible.
Title:
Post by: EXO Muffin on August 16, 2006, 02:24:38 AM: I mean; when I go to the online generator; all of the parts have a background of green. Why is that?

Because it is simply the color Alex chose as the base. If it was white it'd blend in with the page.
Title:
Post by: EXO Muffin on August 16, 2006, 03:27:12 AM: But; then how come the things that actually have a white background have solid, opaque white?
Title:
Post by: I Have a Sandwich on August 16, 2006, 03:32:59 AM: Because thats the color that Alex chose to be transparent. Honestly, its not that hard.
