[Resource]HD Modern Game rips Compilation and Rip Tutorial

[Sinael]

So, I've been told that the stuff I rip would be better posted on the single thread, so I obliged.

Most of the rips here will be in 1280x720, if not stated otherwise. The sample sprites are downscaled three times (to Doom's native 240p) to preserve space.

Some older PCs may experience slowdowns when operating fast changing (1 tick) frames of large size, so there will be optimised sprites for some (or all, when I get to it) weapons, every non-idle frame reduced to dithered 256 colors, saving 3/4th of space without noticable impact (they change so fast so you hardly notice lower quality color transitions).

You can do anything you want to this sprites, as long as you give credit to the game they were ripped from, and me for wasting my time ripping it.

Also there is some sort of short DIY tutorial on how to get same rips from other games.

Here's a link to the Mediafire folder with all the rips

Unreal Tournament '99
This rip was difficult to make because original UT'99 can't handle widescreen well - it zooms in on the gun instead of widening the viewable area, and FOV correction distorts the gun's appearance, making it look squished. So instead of ripping it from UT'99 I had to try and port the guns to Unreal Gold, that does not have such issues, but then (when I spent quite some time on it) I found out that there is a port of these guns already! The animations were partially broken, due to differences between the engine versions, not to mention UT'99 original animations had some errors, notably rocket pop-in during Eightball reload. I tried my best to fix them, and I had to completely redo Eightball's reload and pumping in of the six'th rocket from pieces of other animations. However my skills aren't as good, and the transition between my edits is noticable, especially by shading on the rockets. If someone can make a better edits, please do so.

Due to the fact that there's a lot of weapons, I suggest you proceed to the link at the beginning of the post. It is a folder that contains all of my rips, neatly named and ready for download. There are no color-optimised versions this time however due to the fact that Brink weapons look horrendous with dithering effect - they have a lot of black color and it does not dithers well, so I'll leave that to you (I suggest using Paint.NET)

Rocket Launcher
Has lots of sprite-cuts, due to similar animations/animation parts, but it still huge. That is due to the fact that ammount of rockets is shown directly in the sprites/animations and i've ripped all of them. Read notes to recreate propperly. Has some animation mistakes made by developers, namely rocket count in the box appears to be less than an actual by 1, and during the reload, rocket magazine replenishes itself a moment before hand leaves the screen. There are some model-seams on one of the rockets during the reloading animation as well. Might fix it later, but for now I provide the rip as-is.
Aiming animation was replaced by its de-aiming animation, due to second being more pleasing to the eye. Has a scope sprite inside, use additive rendering patch to make it the same way as it is in-game, and it might need re-working to look propperly in 240p.

This is actually my second Unreal rip, since I've made a stuped mistake and ripped Unreal under a newer opengl lib that had everything antialiased. I can upload that one too if anybody wants.

Note that most sprites besides Dispersion pistol will require some gamma correction to look authentic, 1.35 should be enough. This was due to ripping conditions, and I've decided to provide sprites unchanged as not to reduce any quality by my tinkering. Shots provided are already gammacorrected.

Peppermill Chaingun
Was playing BI recently, and found this gun way too awesome not to rip. Doing so was major pain in the ass though, from finding propper conditions in game to making it loop properly, since game shaking effect when Booker cranks its handle make it shake the screen unevenly with each rotation cycle. Also the hatch on the right side hangs and shakes freely, making it even harder to loop. I found a good enough loop eventually, but the hatch on the left would still be a little jumpy at the end of a loop, though it would be less visible in 4:3 aspect ratio. Also no reload animation due to ripping conditions =\. May add the reloading and even maybe a better rip when I get Clash in the Clouds DLC.

Anyway, it turned out good enough

TUTORIAL
Under spoiler.

---

1)Required Software:
a)ScreenCapture soft that can operate loseless codecs and custom FPS

DXTory - highly customizable, captures game window.

TechSmith Camtasia studio - average customization, but suits our needs. Can capture selected area, only screencapper I found that works semi-decently with CorePNG.

b) Loseless ocdecs

CorePNG tends to crash a lot, since it was made for regular encoders and not for screen capturing, but it is fastest, has least frame skips and occupies less space - each frame is effectively a PNG image. Works better with TechSmith camtasia, but even it crashes half of the time, so have patience. Crashes right away on DXTory. Do not use P-frames, they increase probability of a crash.

Lagarith - each frame is a compressed BMP image, use RGB only, other formats screw up color transitions of rough borders, which can ruin image for our purposes. Will work slower and may frameskip on slower PCs, works best with DxTory. Needs A LOT of free space 1-1.5 GB per minute.

You can also try to use Uncompressed format - every frame is uncompressed BMP, if everything else fails use this - needs AN AWFUL LOT of free space (1.5-2 GB per minute) and tends to skip frames every now and then even on fastest machines.

VirtualDub/VirtualDubMod
MediaPlayerClassic
Paint.NET or Photoshop

2)Game:
To be rippable, game should have HUD that does not obscure Gun, or option/cheat/hack to disable it completely.

3)In the game turn off any "image-enchancing" effects like Antialiasing, Depth of Field, Motion Blur, Ambient Occlusion, Film effect (grain). Tone down all the settings that does not affect how the gun itself looks to increase FPS and reduce load on CPU and GPU - we will need it for screen capturing. Tuning config files, especially in UE3 engine games helps a lot. Do not touch the texture resolutions if config does not allow separate settings for Guns and environment - UE3 engine can set ground/building textures to minimum, while Gun textures remain the same, which is neat.

Play the game and find a weapon you want to rip. Find a place that follows this conditions:

a)Has the lighning condition that make gun look good and evenly lit.
b)Has a background with vastly different color/tone than the gun itself (usually sky/fog/wal/darkness). If such background is not available, but the game is moddable (most UE3 games can be modded with TexMod, some other engines too) - you can mod a texture of the floor/wall/sky to be monocolor (cyan/green works best). Avoid red/orange background - some codecs have problems with that and will add color grading artifacts on red+othercolor borders (x264 claims to be loseless, but does that).
If possible, you can lower FoV, if that does not affect how the gun looks.

My MoH:A rips were done with FoV reduced to 20 on the backround of green smoke indicating dropzone. Peppermill and Boltgun were done on the backround of foggy sky.

4)Position yourself right, and start capturing screen with a loseless codec at 35 FPS. Since we are using a frame per doom-tick, every frame would be equal to one tick in doom, which allows for easier synchronization and reimplementation of the gun.

Recommended resolutions are 640x480 for 4x3 compatibility and 1280x720 for widescreen compatibility. Both can be downscaled to Doom's native 240p with ease by dividing by 2 and 3 respectively with nearest neighbor to preserve crispness. Some modern games do not support 480p anymore.

Capture every action gun has at least 2, better 3 times - Idle animation, Shooting single round and returning to idle, shooting several rounds (to see where refire point is and discern a returning from firing animation), aiming down sights, shooting while aimed and reloading. Maybe an extra, if the gun has them.

5)Open up resulting video in virtualDub(mod) in case of Logarith/Uncompressed/other compatible loseless codec and start looking for an Idle frame. Either choose one when gun looks the best/less jagged, or look for the moment when the gun stands still for 2-3 frames after firing animation - this is when animations switch takes place. Extract the frame by saving it to PNG (Shift+1). Find the animations you need and save the frames in PNG, advancing frame by frame (use arrow buttons). Since we recorderd several, you can choose the one that came out best.
In case of CorePNG or codec incompatible with VDub - use MPC, it has hard times advancing one frame backwards and skips frames if they were skipped by codec, but still the best for saving frame-by-frame sequences. Other players tend to save closest key-frame instead of the one you're actually looking at.

Better name the frames like this: <name of the gun><action><number of frame>.PNG. If the frame was skipped by the codec (the gun and background are COMPLETELY still on two consequent frames in vDub), then <number> would be <number-(number+1)>, to indicate that you should show this frame 2 ticks in a row in DECORATE to completely imitate guns timing in Doom, next frames number shifts by 1 in this case. On low-end PCs frameskip may be greater than 1 frame, so act accordingly.

6)Once all frames are done back them up in a separate folder just in case, look through them and find frames that you can delete and replace with previous ones without sacrificing much (i.e. gun position/state did not changed much compared to the previous frame) to optimise. Rename the files that should appear for more than 2 ticks accordingly. When renaming files to Doom format, keep track of which frames represent what and which ones should be shown for more than one tick.

7)Open up the frames in Paint.NET and clear the area around gun by selecting the areas with rectangle and deleting them with DEL to make those areas transparent. You do not need to be precise there, usually 2-3 chops from above/left and a bit of the right is enough, just be sure not to chop off piece of the gun itself.
Result should look something like this:



Use magic wand on the background to erase it. MW in Paint.NET has customisable threshold, 12-18% is usually enough for fog/sky. I used 12-18% for MoH:A rips and 24% for Bioshock. More than 20 may crop out pixels of the gun, so use it only when you have to. Also wand positioning have effect on this. Lower the threshold if difference in coloration between gun and background is low, or you may crop the gun. Be careful there.
Result:


Whatch for stray pixels on sharp corners of the gun parts and inside the gun sprites, there were some unexpected holes in Peppermill model that I had to patch up by hand.
To check for leftover stray pixels use magicwand on empty space - they will be outlined and noticable, take care of them too.

Cropping by hand may be done with rectangle, DEL and lots of patience, if you ABSOLUTELY must have the gun, but conditions do not allow it.

8)Once frames are done scroll through them in XnViewer or similiar imageviewer to check for stray pixels on the background or errors in the cropping. If everything is alright, then your rip is finished.

Cropping frames and meddling with offsets in TEXTURES lump afterwards offers no real benefit, as empty areas in PNG are well compressed.
Other way to optimise PNG frames is converting all non-idle frames to 256 colors with dithering. Just open up all frames at once in Paint.NET then go saving them in 256 colors and closing. Batch processing doesen't work as of now, sadly, but this takes only like 5 minutes or one AutoHotkey script to do ;D.

String in TEXTURES lump for 1280x720 should look something like this:

SPRITE RSAFE0, 1280, 720 {offset 160, 116 XScale 3.0 YScale 3.6 Patch MSAFE0, 0, 0}

For 640x480 use

SPRITE RSAFE0, 640, 480 {XScale 2 YScale 2 Patch MSAFE0, 0, 0}

(not tested, but should work)

Games that should be easily rippable using theese techniques:
Any game that uses Unreal family engine, since they all are highly moddable/configurable.
Most games that have console cheats should be easier to rip, since it is much easier to achieve good conditions.
Gamebryo games - Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3 and NV. I am honestly surprised no one ripped them apart completely yet, since all it does to achieve perfect conditions is: modify any interior cell with ambient light set to light gray, and make fog cyan, then walk through wall with "TCL" and enjoy. Considering how many stuff was made by modders the potential there is nearly unlimited.
And why nobody ever ripped some monsters from WoW? I've seen some skins based on WoW payer model, but no monster wads yet. Heretic resources right there in the open.

Request
I want to rip a Chainsaw from Fallout NV, but its texture is ugly. Can somebody make a higher res one, like 4096p? Thread

I added your M1911 animations and gave it a space in DECORATE.txt - its .45 caliber bullets do far more damage than the Mauser and MP-40's 9x19mm rounds do, but each clip only holds 7 rounds. It will share ammo with the Thompson SMG (which will be switched with the MG42 as a slot 4 weapon).

I wouldn't mind an optimized M1911 sprite set, but at the moment I don't think it's a pressing matter.

I like your tutorial, kind of makes me want to crack open some of the games you listed and try my hand at ripping some badass swords, staves, bows, and guns. I hope the Trench Gun doesn't give you too much of a hard time. When you get around to it, what kind of magazine will your Thompson sprites use? The 30-round box falls in line with the idea of .45 ammo being less plentiful...but the 50-round drum lends it part of the signature "Tommy gun" look.

Maybe someone will rip WWII soldier enemies at some point...

[Reactor]

I would recommend Blaze Media Pro as well. It can save individual frames in PNG/BMP or just tell it to save the whole AVI to frames. It saves TONS of work indeed.

[Sinael]

Added optimised sprites for Colt 1911, made Trenchgun and changed layout.

TheRailgunner
It would be 50 round drum, canonic Thompson look as seen in most movies.
BTW what gun are you planning to use on a 7-th slot? IMO should be a sniper rifle - like Springfield.

Sorry, you tried to help me with TEXTURES lump, but your Scale estimations were wrong (you proposed 4.0 if I remember correctly), which cropped sprite and looked distorted, since zDoom squished the AR of a 16:9 image to 4:3, also no accomodating for offset (I still don't know why zDoom makes vertical offset too), so I had to find the measurements manually in the end, which turned out 3 and 3.6, and I had to find an offsets, so you helped me only so-slightly.

Anyway, I also found a strange thing - even with right Scale factor, GZDoom still renders the gun to be 1-2 pixels wider and 2-3 pixels taller than it should be, even without texture filtering, introducing minor artifacts, while in zDoom it looks propperly.

[TheRailgunner]

Added M1 Garand.

...damn, and I JUST finished adding the Trench Gun (uses sounds from WildWeasel's Accessories to Murder for now, since they're for, oddly, the exact same weapon). Two of the Trench Gun's frames (aimed firing frame 14 and hip firing frame 4) had artifacts in the top-right corner, but they were easily removed.

That just leaves the Kar 98, MG 42, Panzerschreck, Thompson SMG, and the M18 Recoilless Rifle. This is coming together more quickly than I thought.

EDIT: This may seem kind of sudden, but I was considering throwing the Mark II frag grenade and M24 Stielhandgrenate in as slot 1 weapons, with random amounts of grenades replacing chainsaws and berserk boxes. I also think the BAR may be a good supplement to the MG42, though I can't find a good counterpart to the Trench Gun to balance out the weapon choices.

[Sinael]

Ooops. My bad. I was too hasty. Fixed those sprites and updated downloads.

Since I already had M24 in the works, there you go. There is no projectile, since I have no decent model viewer for UE3 (besides I heard that half of MoHA resources are encrypted anyway), but you can try and check other games like Return to Castle Wolfenstein for the model. May rip Mark II as well later. Thompson and Panzershreck will come as soon as I will have mood. Considering Kar98 - check your PMs, I told you about it.

I do not have Recoilles Rifle in my loadout, and MG 42 is mounted, so its lightning conditions would never be as good as needed and its rip will be too long and tedious for me to do.

And I already want to switch to other games - I have big plans for Shadow Warrior 2013 ZillaCorps Quad shotgun - it is one of the most badass guns I've ever seen. The main problem is ripping conditions and the fact that it shows remaining ammo visually, which will make all animations to be ripped 3 times to make a complete rip. Estimated size of unoptimised rip is about 100-130 MB, and it will take me several days to do, but god damn that thing is good. To give you general idea - here is a crappy vid (switch to 720p)

If you need a good quality MG42 to rip, there'z one in the Battlefield 1942 series.

YOU WILL FINISH RIPPING AIRBORNE AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!

...ooooooh, quad shotgun! I'm not going to lie, ripping that weapon would be/will be a gigantic pain in the ass. Still, the DECORATE for the alternate animations shouldn't be too much work, just a few extra inventory items and A_JumpIfInventory frames. Don't kill yourself over the Kar98, if you can help it. And apparently the man-portable MG42 in Airborne isn't usable by the player...figures. All that means is that the Sturmgewehr 44 replaces the MG42 (which is more balanced as a Plasma Rifle replacement anyway, the MG42's 1200 RPM notwithstanding) and the BAR acts as the Allied counterpart to it.

The Trench Gun will always replace shotgun spawns, but, if dropped, will either spawn 1-4 shotgun shells or a fully-loaded Trench Gun (all weapons drop with full ammo, or at least are supposed to). The same mechanism will be similarly used for the other weapons (killing a Heavy Weapon Dude will yield a .45 drum, a 9mm box), a Thompson SMG, or an MP-40, for example).

EDIT: The Trench Gun's ADS animation has been improved, and ADS mode makes your TG shots somewhat more accurate (even though this doesn't remotely make sense, it isn't gamebreaking). In addition, MP-40 weapon spawns behave the same way TG spawns do (fully-loaded gun if spawned, ammo or said gun if dropped). I may have the pistols do slightly more damage than their automatic counterparts to encourage heavier use of the pistols (efficiency vs. raw firepower).

[Sinael]

Well, since I have a day off and nothing to do while our bronies translate new MLP episodes, here you go:

AW YISS. MOTHAFUCKIN' THOMPSON SUBMACHINE GUN.

I'll be back with an M1 and a Tommy in just a bit.

EDIT: Back. And with an M1 and a Tommy gun, too. Slot 4 weapons now do 1-3 less damage per bullet than slot 2 weapons do, as the Thompson was (and probably still IS) OP as fuck. There are new ammo limits - 140/210 for .45 AUTO (M1911, Thompson), 200/300 for 9mm (C96, MP-40), and 20/30 for .30-06 clips (M1 Garand).

[chronoteeth]

the tommy gun isnt as smooth as the rest of the sprites, as it has a thin white layer around the gun
