[SPRITES] Spriting Carnival!!

[Bjecinst]

welp, im in no way good at animation of human body shapes but i think i did pretty good franken-spriting together jump and crouch frames for karl/steve

(if you guys wanna take a crack at animating the 3 other frames of the crouch (ie, crouch walking) then be my guest ^^)

[Gez]

Now we need the dancing animation.

You know, that one:

[EmperorGrieferus]

Today, I found some stock flame animation frames and decided to draw them for OSJC's torches.
Feel free to toy around (And doomify it, since I'm too lazy).

Thought I'd share my edit of the civilian guy. I had the idea of making each part of him more easily recolored. I was making my own game and I did this for the NPCs too.



And here it is in the doom palette

And the standalonegame ipk3 palette

You should be able to recolor the palette versions with the "Translation" property, for example, you can try something like: Translation "160:167=9:12", "0:0=5:8", "48:79=64:79", "112:127=240:247", "192:207=96:111", "240:247=5:8", and have a new looking character with the same sprite. You should still be able to translate to RGB colors too. So something like Translation "160:167=[128,64,0]:[0,0,0]", "48:79=[204,174,140]:[57,43,26]", "112:127=[0,64,128]:[0,28,55]", "192:207=[0,202,202]:[0,53,53]", "240:247=[0,47,47]:[0,10,10]" should work too.

Looking good there. More civilians = good IMO.

You should still be able to translate to RGB colors too.

As I understand it, if a translation is specified, the game will effectively fit the sprite to the Doom (or game) palette forst, otherwise it has no way of knowing which indices to map to which colour. The colours they are mapped to can still be any colour, of course.

[Xim]

You may be right, regardless you can still get a pretty decent variety of recolors from it. Here's a quick example I put together.

[Enjay]

Oh, absolutely. I merely meant that, for translations, the fact that the sprite is in RGB isn't that much of an issue (provided the colours convert well to a good range in the game palette). You can convert that range to almost limitless* colours though.

*the main limit being how many colours are in the "from" range, because that's how many colours it can be translated to.

heres the sniper rifle based off the combo from doom ii RPG

Looks great, i just wanted to point out to you i'm not using that nick anymore. Also, Sgt. Shivers had a significant part on that centered Doom 3 SMG, so his name would be needed in there too.

[Craneo]

"Nicknamed "Cacosaw" by UAC Marines and other Survivors, this weapon is actually not an actual Cacodemon (not a common one atleast) but rather a Hellgrowth-Caco hybrid of very cowardly nature, who has taken the appareance of a Chainsaw in order to feed itself off the blood of whatever gets killed with it, it's blades are not such but rather almost metallic hardened teeth that spin at high speeds, they also deal plasmatic damage, similar to the Cacodemon's projectile attack, one must be careful when handling such an entity as we at the UAC research facility do not know whenever this living being can or not corrupt or harm it's user."
Credits (some names could be wrong or miscredited, sorry...): Amuscaria (?), Hidfan, Zrrion the Insect, Vader(?)

B-but... why??

I admit it's hilarious, tho.

I had the idea while out on a walk thinking about DRLA's Commando class and how it's melee based, and how like, what kind of melee weapons it could have, at first I thought a "holy chainsaw" type thing, but found that one more difficult to do, so I thought maybe a "demonic chainsaw", but felt like a "dark chainsaw" would be somewhat generic and boring, then I thought it could be alive, like some sort of living flesh chainsaw, and that's how it came to be.

Seems both necessary and proper. Carry on.

[bimshwel]

The serpent staff in Hexen appears to be alive, might as well have a whole living arsenal.

That was a grandoise chain of thoughts. You convinced me this needs to be properly implemented.

Now, should its eye be flipped, to give the impression it's looking upwards instead of directly facing the player? Serious question.

a Hellgrowth-Caco hybrid of very cowardly nature

Why the hecc is it so cowardly?
