Re: The WIP Thread
i dont care how may compromises ive already taken im turning the pinkinator into a full spritesheet as soon as vacations arrive
Re: The WIP Thread
Thanks for the heads-up; I was pretty aware of your ripping attempt made years ago and I attempted to do my own thing. Yesterday I was replaying the game and I remember the sprites having plenty of frontal frames (they don't have full rotations, but it shouldn't be detrimental because they don't have them), they have two idle frames (the second frame is just the upper part moving 1 pixel down and then going up; hmm, what mods have this kind of animation?), one or two attack frames and the pain state.Kinsie wrote: Good luck getting the rest - screenshot rips are a pain in the ass (and will be impossible in the case of VIOS) and nobody cares enough to reverse-engineer things.
Greater Sawcubus has two idle frames, two attack frames (which I managed to get in a pretty good way) and a pain state.
Pinkinator has one attack frame, shoots a green gooey liquid (for years we thought it was a Baron's fireball, but it could be a giant goober) and unfortunately the blood decals get in the way so I can't really take a good screen out of his pain animation (1 frame), what I can do, however, is to take several screens and then later edit the parts where the blood is blocking the frame
Sentry Bot has FOUR idle frames and two attack frames, and a "dormant" state too (when you discard it). This is the kind of friendly enemy you want to put in the PC ver.
Now, the VIOS' sprite has a bit of transparency, I would say that is 25% transparent, and I sort of managed to take a few screens out of him; two idle frames, two attack frames and a pain state. A clean rip COULD be possible.
Also some weapons have some pretty cool animations, the chainsaw for example, it goes up in its final attack frame and looks pretty neat. Could also be used as a base for a PC sprite. And I managed to get a bug going on when I idclipped through level 1, and the dude who gives you the assault rifle dissapeared, leaving the rifle just floating mercilessly for a clean shot of it.
The chainsaw has a nice pickup sprite, and there's plenty of items with some decent sprites that would fit the PC ver. perfectly.
Yeah, sucks to be doing all of this in such a hacky way, but it's just how it is; fraggle (from the Doomworld forums) had a pretty hard time figuring out the .bsp map format of the original Doom RPG, now imagine someone trying to figure out the encryption of the texture files from both games. And once again, people would be pretty interested in playing (and modding) the RPGs if it wasn't for id (and Beth) discontinuing the first game and leaving the second one available for just one single platform.
I'm not really sure if there's a way to record what you're doing in the iPhone, and if it's possible to send the game application into the background so you can run another thing. The iOS ver. of D2RPG has arguably better looking sprites, they may not look Doomy, but they're as hi-res as they can get.
My man. In that case give me a couple of hours while I try to get some clean sprites out of what I did yesterday.raymoohawk wrote:i dont care how may compromises ive already taken im turning the pinkinator into a full spritesheet as soon as vacations arrive

You can take screenshots on an iOS device, and if you buy Reflector you can wirelessly stream your screen to a window on your PC.IMX wrote:I'm not really sure if there's a way to record what you're doing in the iPhone, and if it's possible to send the game application into the background so you can run another thing.

One possibility is BREW: if we can get a BREW version of the game running in an emulator (I'm not sure this is entirely possible, but stick with me here) it may be using some form of OpenGL/MiniGL, leaving it prime material for one of those generic "dump textures to disk when loaded" injectors. I got something like this working an absolute treat with Orcs & Elves DS...
Oh yeah, if you're using the debug cheats, check out the test map. It should make things a bit easier.

A mate and I undertook a quest of 64 thousand blocks of art
Hand made. (except for the base background or red wool blocks)

Re: The WIP Thread
now you're the man and the half blocks.
Re: The WIP Thread
I did, and took plenty (if not most of them) of screenshots that day from that map. All of the Pinkinator sprites I'm about to post come from her room in the game.Kinsie wrote:IMX wrote: Oh yeah, if you're using the debug cheats, check out the test map. It should make things a bit easier.
(Menu > Press 3666 (DOOM) > RenderMode = TCPS)
That turns off ALL of the texture walls and ceilings, leaving the sprites alone in a black background.
So anyway, let's get down to business. What I'm about to post comes from the 240x320 version of the game I got running on kEmulator. Hopefully there won't be any graphical differences between Kinsie's rip and mine, so let's see how it goes...
Also here's a much nicer version (iOS) courtesy of Gamefaqs
Hopefully this will help raymoohawk if he's going to work on Pinkinator

Re: The WIP Thread
Whoa, I’m actually having fun animating again and the results don’t look like complete shit? What is this, opposite day?

Retexture job on the docks in my map. This has a very odd mix of hand drawn textures and digitized textures. I am thinking about changing the sky texture to be something cloudier, to fit with winter or whatever.

Re: The WIP Thread
Top list is deck, bottom list is hand.
Not sure what I'm going to do with this, but wheeee I'm proud of it anyway especially with ZDoom's frankly terrible array manipulation, at least as far as I can find.
Re: The WIP Thread
More lighting and details in the club.
Spoiler:Needs more dynamic lights.
