Title: Sonic Chronicles Faceset
Post by: evmaster on July 20, 2013, 12:32:31 AM
Sonic Chronicles the Dark BrotherHood has been out since 2008. Though I can't seem to find hardly any of the pictures or screenshots of all the faces that appear in the game. I want to make a faceset out of them. If someone could rip them from the game and make them into a faceset that would be great. Or if they have the game on computer, they could prnt screen all the faces they see but that seems to be too much trouble, and it would have to be good quality. Thanks in advance.

Sorry I don't have the game, but couldn't you download/pirate it and take the screenshots yourself?

Okay guys, I went ahead and grabbed some Sonic faces and edited them in a program I have. Now they all look nice. Then I went and got a faceset template, made the background pink and put the Sonic faces on it. When I imported into Rpg maker 2003, even when I made the pink transparent, some pink still showed around Sonic. Here is the Sonic pictures.

If someone could please put these images onto a faceset and make it work in Rpg maker 2003, that would be great. The only thing I could offer in return is a Sonic drawing. If you want that.

Question: What was the file type that you saved the facesets as? Was the pink spotty and scattered or just a pink border around the edges? Either you chose the wrong file type to make the most of the faceset or you had some transparency issues, and it should be easy to figure out which one based on your response.

I saved it as a Png. And the pink was outlined around the Sonics faces. Everything else was transparent except the pink right next to Sonic's face.

Did you put the pink background before or after resizing for the faceset?

uhhhh Resizing what? I brought up a template for facesets I downloaded here and worked from there?

Yeah, well those pictures are far too large for a faceset template so you must've resized them right?

And when you resize stuff colours tend to shift.
Could you post this faceset of yours? Perhaps that would be easier.

Yup. The problem is that when you resized the face set, some pixels were made transparent in an attempt to retain the level of detail at a lower resolution. The transparency over the pink results in a blend of the two when the image was flattened into your PNG, resulting in a pink outline of slightly different pinks. Your resizes will all have this problem unless you resize the images on a colored background (your choice, but in this case, black would be a suggestion since the outlines are black), manually outline with the contrasting pink color, and fill in the empty space.

It's a bit more work than simply resizing and plopping it on a bright background, but it'll fix your problem. Sorry that I don't have an easier fix for you, but maybe someone else will have a bright idea.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Okay, now I have re sized the faces again and this time when I imported it
into rpg maker only a few of the faces had some pink, like one or two dots and some faces had none at all. Now what? o-o

Here it is again.

Well, keep looking for the spots with pink and paint over them. If you're using Photoshop (or some other program with layers), paint the pink onto the top layer so that the transparencies don't bleed through.

What do you mean keep looking for the pink spots? I'm not sure what to do guys. @_@
I mean, I have re sized them and made it to where it wouldn't try to keep quality, and that helped a lot. I don't understand why these one or two dots still show when I import the face set into rpg maker 2003.

Also, I am using Photoshop.

Ok, easy Photoshop method:

1: Clean up your face set.
2: Resize (leave transparencies as they are
3: Create black background layer for the image.
4: Create Pink Foreground layer.
5: Save as.

Assuming that you have hard edges on the pink foreground layer (used a pencil tool), it should be fine.

I opened your faceset in paint and changed the background colour to white. I can clearly see your dots in face: 1-5 and 7. Simply make those white as well and then swap it all back to your pink and you're ready to go.
The reason why this happened is unknown to me though, haven't used photoshop in like 3 years.

That's another easy fix, good idea.

Like I said, the reason it happened is because Photoshop added some transparent pixels during the resizing process to maintain a smooth image, and the pink background (which must have been a background layer) bled through the transparencies, leaving some off shades of pink in the image that are only apparent upon uploading.
