He hasn't been claimed yet, so technically he's fair game.

I was thinking about ripping him as well, so if you run into any roadblocks I'll be more than happy to help.

Release Heavy Lobster!

I'd love to help everyone out by ripping sprites too, but I don't like ROMs, and I don't wanna use one.

Also, isn't Star Chariot supposed to be Starship?

Uhhh.... how do you expect to rip without roms, may I ask? ^^;

@Omegakyogre: Well, I kinda got to a dead end. There's some stuff I can't figure out, so here's the raw file. You must view it in 29x28 dimensions. I included some notes.
EDIT: hnnnng can't attach stuff. You gots MSN/AIM?

Fatty's updated again, only things I can think left are the splash (a correct version), the blue version of his icons (I assume the small one can be found in The Arena), and if it exists, the red version of his shrunken sprites.


I found a way to get the alternate palettes with No$GBA, go to NO$GBA.INI and change this option [SAV/SNA File Format == Compressed] to this [SAV/SNA File Format == Uncompressed]. Then just play the game and make the Snapshots (what is basically a savestate) of an enemy and open it up with Tile Molester (most of the enemies are encoded as 4bpp linear, reverse although some of the bosses are in 8bpp). Then just look for the enemy, their palette should near them. And to check, change the codec to 15bpp BGR, that makes the palettes visible.

And don't go making so many snapshots, each one will be between 5 and 6MB, and they can add up fast.

I'm fairly certain it's Star Chariot. That's what it says on the front page, as well.

tSR is picky about what you can upload. If you want to send me something, you'd best upload it to megaupload or something so I can download it that way.

I do have AIM, but its not installed on the Windows side of my machine because I don't trust it and this is my good machine. Uploading it somewhere and shooting me a link through this thread or a PM is going to be the easiest way for me to get it.

I'm pretty sure he was a brighter red in the game o.o

And awesome job to all of you, I can't believe how fast you people rip o.o..
*Waits for playable meta knight*

Nope, that's the correct color.

We're lucky there're a good number of people interested so we can all rip at once. Also, playable Meta Knight could take a while, so we need to be patient.

Hey, Galacta Knight is just as good, and he'll be done within a few days!

Well here's some WIP Blade Knight to tide you by:

Weapon wielding characters are hard.

Looks good so far. Just don't forget his other palette.

um, I don't think wheel rider is complete, it still needs vicrory poses and dashing sprites.

I just said that I'd love to help, but I can't.

Dont forget to label the jumping and walking sprites. It's kind of hard to tell what's what since he's holding a sword.

...But jumping is way of there in the second row from the top on the right side, and that entire row consists of his walking sprites. How would you get those two confused?

Dashing = Walking, just faster; What do you mean by "victory pose?"

What I meant was to label things like he did to the side b sprites and such. That way we wouldn't have to search for the sprites.
