Ryskeliinis sprites

[moriarty]

take a look at my list files here (or, as a direct link, here)

"000" is facing towards the screen (or "down"), and "007" is facing away from the screen (or "up"), so the hands facing "down" are:
xcom_0232 right arm (one-handed weapon)
xcom_0240 left arm (two-handed weapon)
xcom_0248 right arm (two-handed weapon)
xcom_0256 right arm (firing weapon)

and the hands facing "up" are 239, 247, 255 and 263, respectively

thanks, very helpful  . so far iv done the:

- battlescape animation sprites
- dead sprite on the battlescape
- dead soldier sprite in inventory screen.

ill finish this tomorrow, if i can find the inventory soldier image somewhere so i can edit it to look more like soldier using combat suit... didnt find it yet in my ufo folder, but guess its somewhere there. hopefully its still in pck format :p ..till tomorrow.

inventory image is in DATA\UFOGRAPH, and called xcom_0.spk (comes with xcom_0.tab). pckview should be able to display it, although I did have some trouble re-saving it. that's where I started using bb_tools for real

the .spk file is basically a .pck file, but there are small differences... the UFOPaedia site knows more about it

update at front page.

[moriarty]

nice

one thing, though: the "inventory corpse sprite" is too... corpse-like. too much blood. not because I don't like blood and gore, but because that same image is used regardless of whether the soldier is dead or simply unconscious! so this one looks too...dead.

These look awesome mate, really good work.

[Ryskeliini]

glad that you like it, tho im not quite pleased with the inventory dolls, i quite much rushed it due the time. i might someday redo the dolls chest part.

and you can always edit the "corpse" for your liking ,its a just couple mins job to edit the blood pixels out ... next time making a xcom/alien shouldnt take time since this was very educating..educative..eduvcx.. (is that even a word?). Next i think ill try something easier, like making a alien sprite or something... i have something in mind, but meanwhile i tried making something experimental sprites... note this is just a test.

Those  sprites reminds me (not to mention bioshock) good old laser squad. There was specific graphics with something similar to those.

[Ryskeliini]

oh, never played laser squad, tho iv heard of it. if i remember right it was only multiplayer via email or something? ... anyways ,update at the front page,... theres something retarded...

[moriarty]

oh my. looks like a pink alien Kenny. "OMG, they killed..." - should come with a new death scream, plus rats rushing in to gnaw at the corpse as part of the dying animation

Btw, has anyone tried these sprites in openxcom? Just asking 'cos mine still isnt working, all i can see is levitating weapons flying above ground and all the sprites missing ;P ... strange. Still works in orginal Xcom.... gahh what causes this heresy!

edit: atleast i can see the inventory/battlescape corpse in openxcom

[luke83]

i will try this weekend now that i know about the import entire BMP awt option

Your sprites in Openxcom

I also uploaded my file to your page

FYI: I did not do anything different to your sprites , I only imported them and they worked.
