[sprrel] Original Motion Tracking Red Recolor

Sylver · February 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">or just call it 'o.m.t.r.r.' :P</div> I saw there were a few new motion tracking blips available, thought I had to make some of my own. Well, here it is. It's just the original one (but then red) so it aint that impressive.

I haven't tested it in the game yet myself so i'm gonna need some feedback, if it doesn't work i'll just fix it for ya, don't worry <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

here's the download: <a href='http://members.home.nl/johnnyvdoremalen/redblip4.zip' target='_blank'>redblip4.zip</a>

and does anyone know who made the original ones? i should mention him/her in the readme to i guess <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

if there's something wrong with ANYTHING, don't be afraid to mention it here, i would even appreciate it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

thanx

EDIT: before flaming me for a screenie, here's one:

yeah, it's because there are different ways to put the .bmp's into a .spr

Additive - 256 colors with additive transparency.
Alphatest - 255 colors; last color is transparency.
Indexalpha - Grayscale; last color is the sprite color.
Normal - 256 colors; no blending or transparency.

I used the alphatest one on the motion track sprites, because the background was black, and that's the last color.

It's not that i know much about this stuff it's just something from a readme or something. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Unless you have a sprite that has its own colors (i.e you want it to have diff. parts colored diff. colors) you should create the crosshair/MT blip/hive sight squiggle in Grayscale, then convert it to 256 colors. Then, compile it into a sprite using the Indexalpha method. Make sure you edit the palette so that the color you want the sprite to be is the last one in the palette.

ok, well i ran into the same problem with the colored squares, and i used the same pallette as i do with Ch sprites with the last color the color of the spr and indexalphi to compile...

How exactly would you make a sprite that has different colors? I edited the Spore Gas sprite a little but when I try to compile all 17 images back into a sprite it tells me "spore003.bmp does not share a palette with the previous bitmap"
