<div class="IPBDescription">SC sprites</div> Hey I was wondering, would anyone take the time out of their busy schedule to make some Star craft kill sprites?
like guass rifle for lmg, I dunno like claws for bite, spikes for acid rocket?

thanks in advance

CoolCookieCooks

Smiley_X

sporty

Smiley_X

yeah they are.

so i turned them to a BMP, then i changed the BMP, then i recompiled it and tried it out ingame, but i just uses the defualt sprites? what am i doing wrong?

Make sure you're editting <span style='color:green'>640aw<b>3</b>.spr</span> and <span style='color:green'>640aw<b>3</b>-s.spr</span>.

At first sight, the ones shown in <span style='color:gray'>640aw<b>1</b>.spr</span> and <span style='color:gray'>640aw<b>1</b>-s.spr</span> look like they're the right ones, but these are not actually the ones used.

Smiley_X

thank you, but i have run into another problem, my lack of any artistic talent what-so-ever!

So i retract my statment, and would someone please make some that look bett than mine. pretty please?

Verthandi

Well, if you would be so kind as to supply the base materials <i>[edit](and perhaps a small description of what you want)[/edit]</i>, I could offer you a hand. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

heres some things i snaged from the SC site, i was going to edit them so they didnt look so streached and i edit the lines of them

Verthandi

Right, I've changed most of the Death-by-Alien-weapon sprites. Some of them haven't been changed yet, because I couldn't find or didn't have access to a suitable replacement: (A few <b>hi-res</b> screenshots of the listed SC weapon icons would be very handy.)<ul><li>Bite <i>(Scourge Suicide icon?)</i>
<li>Spit <i>(Devourer Acid/Guardian Acid Spores/Spore Colony Spores)</i>
<li>Healing Spray <i>(absolutely no idea)</i>
<li>Gore <i>(Ultralisk Kaiser Blades icon)</i>
</ul><b>About the file:</b>

Next up: Death-by-Marine-weapon sprites (Once again, SC screenshots <b>showing weapon icons</b>, would be very helpful.)

I think that the Devourer acid icon is best for acid spit. And heal spray could be the...err...Spore Colony Spore Icon? I don't know, it looks a bit healing-like, with the way the things at the bottom spiral up.

CoolCookieCooks

ok guys ive started to make some sprites, i see your doing some sprites, im doing the weapon select sprites, and so far ive done 3/4 of the mutalisks ones, i just need an idea to change the spikes one to.

anyway, heres a preview of the spores one.

PFCNublar

Spikes means you have to swipe the Sprite on the Hydralisk attack-icon-status-thing. You know, the little square in the portrait status area when you select a hydralisk, and then whe you put your pointer over the little square it says (Needle Spikes 10+3 Dmg). That would work. Or the Missle attack icon upgrade at the Evolution Chamber.

CoolCookieCooks

but thats a different monster in itself, i need some mutalisk ideas, and i dotn wanna bo going on and putting upgrade icons on my lovely weapon selection sprites <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

CoolCookieCooks

ok ive put those 3 pointed starry things that the mutalisk fires as the spikes one, just need a nice modeller to come along and make it, it wud take about 2 mins, but my milkshape = expired <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Hey cool my name is in the picture <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> . As for the spikes, if i remember correctly, the Mutalisk fired sort of star shape objects, kinda like them stars Ninjas use. Scream just have the Muta with it's mouth open, Umbra i guess you have like a shield or the mutalisk with a wall in front of it and bullets coming at it.

Deronok

I guess I could try to make some sometime :\

CoolCookieCooks

yea ive done the mutas weapon selection sprites now, ill move on to the death sprites, itll be easy as all i have to do is the spikes kill one. next up, the hydralisk.

Deronok

Sounds good <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

The Lerk Spike is a hitscan weapon, and no longer uses a model.

I was thinking somewhere along the lines of that, and felt that it would look quite nice. The only problem is, I don't have SC, so I can't get screenshots of the weapon icons.

Verthandi

Here's the progress up to now, extract the contents to <span style='color:green'>/ns/sprites</span>.

So far, there are death sprites for all Alien weapons EXCEPT Bite, Spit, Healing Spray, and Gore. I'll be doing Marine weapons next, but will require a few screenshots of the weapon icons.

Smiley_X

how are they going?

nightdragon

Yes how far have the rest of the alien spries and the marines prites got.

ND

Verthandi

I'd love to continue with the 'death-by-Marine-weapon' icons, but I really need those screenshots or else I can only chnge two or three of the icons (I think I've emphasized this point many times already...)

Smiley_X

I have looked around, and i guess you have to draw them by hand (well photoshop) but ill find some pics in the morning
