Title: Re: My First Char Set ^^
Post by: Fishface on November 26, 2010, 01:52:37 AM: It's Flik from Suikoden 2.

What RPGMaker are you using? Like, XP, or...which one?
Because that charset's pretty tall...heh.

Post by: Moosetroop11 on November 27, 2010, 11:59:40 AM: He's using XP or higher or it'd be three across instead of four.

Post by: Fishface on November 27, 2010, 07:10:49 PM: Yeah I made that one for XP
Title: Re: My First Char Set ^^
Post by: Cerdiar on November 30, 2010, 03:02:42 PM: Yeah, it's good charset, so you can probably start making an XP game with that.

Post by: RockJohnAxe on December 24, 2010, 05:48:58 AM: not lookin too bad. A Little clipping in the trees in the last picture, but its pretty clean over-all.
Title: Re: My First Char Set ^^
Post by: Fishface on December 24, 2010, 07:05:55 PM: It's from suikoden 2. How do these trees look? As well as the cliff/mountain edge

(http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg161/CampbellkidPict/Image2-1.png)

I'm working on the water tiles now, this is what i have so far but it looks a lil too bright and i think i need to make it more transparent.

I'm using the ocean autotile from rmxp, if anyone has any other water/oceans tile they think might fit this palette better I'd love to hear it.

Title: Re: My First Char Set ^^
Post by: RockJohnAxe on December 26, 2010, 12:04:00 AM: the cliffs and trees look good, although it does look fairly plain. Maybe some more grass bits or plants n stuff.

The Water stands out. You need some edge pieces.
Title: Re: My First Char Set ^^
Post by: Fishface on December 27, 2010, 04:30:51 AM: Thanks for the feedback ^^

I know its a little bare, its more of a testing ground that a town at the moment lol.

I'm having a kinda serious issue with the water however...
Is there some easy way/tool/template for the edges?

Here's some more water tiles ive been messing around with, lemme know what you think:

Post by: RockJohnAxe on December 27, 2010, 04:52:23 PM: the water looks a little better in the last screen shot.

The Character screen is looking alright. What game are those sprites from? I need all the samurai sprites i can get my hands on.

Post by: Fishface on January 05, 2011, 08:35:18 PM: Thanks again but I saw those too haha, too bad im using XP. It's not a huge deal, more of an afterthought, I'm not really a fan of armor set bonuses but it'd be nice to have the option. Besides it'd prolly end up being more counter productive than anything else.

Post by: Fishface on April 30, 2011, 03:22:36 AM: He's right, the tilesets don't download to the proper size...

I think it's because they are so big and photobucket is fail.

I'll repost them asasp.
Title: Re: My First Char Set ^^
Post by: drenrin2120 on April 30, 2011, 05:43:51 AM: If you're still having trouble with water looking funny. Try using "curvy" tiles at the edges to make it appear more natural. I'm not sure how well this would work in rmxp, but I'd take a tip from Meiscool and use events as water tiles. Set the events to transparent and voila! The water looks a lot more natural and anything underneath it looks like it's under water. The layering can be a bit tricky, and all those water events can make for a lot of tedious "copy paste".

As for the curvy edge thing I was talking about, it's pretty simple to do yourself and can easily be done in mspaint. Once you've got your water tiles set up where they ougta to be on your charaset, you simply go about trimming the edges in circular patterns. This style works best with water bordering cliffs. So when you do this, consider the edge of the cliff tiles you use in the game. Here's an example of a charaset I made for rm2k3 where I do just that.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v244/drenrin2120/Charaset_Objects9.png)

As you can see, the "curvy" pattern is really basic and simple, but it conforms to the type of cliff tile I use. When everything's set up right in game, you end up with something like this.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v244/drenrin2120/Project%20Revival/April302011.png)

I hope I explained that well enough, I kind of rushed through this 'cuz I want to get to bed.

EDIT: @ Futch, sprite sheets from The Spriters Resource won't work as they come in RMXP. You have to rearrange the sprites to the correct proportions of an RMXP charaset.

Which I think would be (anything divisible by 4) x (anything divisible by 4). Which means, for example, if you're sprite is 25x25 pixels, then an RMXP charaset for him would be atleast 100x100 pixels. That's because when you upload a charaset to RMXP, it cuts the picture file into 4x4 blocks. Each row vertically is a facing direction for the sprite and each row horizontally is for walking animation, or really any kind of animation you can make with 4 frames.
Title: Re: My First Char Set ^^
Post by: Fishface on April 30, 2011, 03:23:18 PM: Yeah the water was a giant pain. I kinda cheated tho

I just edited the RTP water tile until it was pretty much blank.

(http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg161/CampbellkidPict/01BlankWater.png)

Then I just pasted it as a layer over whatever grass I needed it to match

(http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg161/CampbellkidPict/WaterTestS.png)

End Result

Looks ok I think

I only have 2 tilesets

1 for interior

1 for exterior

they are both 256 x 29984 so they are too large for photobucket, Ill have to break them into smaller pieces like that
