You are certainly ripping quite a lot! And it looks like you're starting to make your own icons, too! I'm glad. Certainly takes a big burden off of me!

However, I'm afraid I can't use these icons for a couple of reason. The main reason is that they were all saved as JPGs, and are covered in horrible compression artifacts. You never want to use JPG for the site's thumbnails, because they always turn out ugly. Use PNG instead, as they are lossless and have small file sizes. Second, the images in the thumbnail have been unevenly stretched to fit the box, which doesn't look good. Just look at the skateboard: its wheels are all squished. When you scale down an image, always scale it the same amount in both dimensions. I'd rather see blank space in the thumbnail than a squished person.

Another issue is spelling. Always double check to make sure you have the proper spelling of things. Most of them seem correct, though I can't tell whether or not enemy names are correct. (You don't want another "Alaster/Alastor" incident again.) Also, make sure you are spelling normal words correctly. The correct spelling of "misstriss" is mistress. If you're not very good at spelling, you can always just put the word in Google and see what happens.

As for the models themselves, they look fine. For the most part, the textures look fine, but you'll have to re-rip the Milk texture. Surely you must have noticed as you were rendering the preview that it didn't look right. As I said before, it's best to always assume the texture has some kind of alpha transparency.

here's the milk's texture .tga http://www.mediafire.com/?30eyb5383ib6yxq

I also edited this texture as well which is why there's a png in there as well


Could you tell me which one i should use?

also for the enemies i used this wiki http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Adventure_Island/Enemies to figure out the names however there are quite alot of new enemies that didn't appear in the previous games as well, the previous games have old enemies that didn't appear in this game, so i just named them by how they look -.-

[Peardian]

I'll convert the Milk's texture for you. I'd advise against using edited textures over the regular texture, especially when it is a design change.


As for the enemies, their names seem okay. Just make sure that you always check spelling when making icons.

ok i got them done i put them on my mediafire the icons here you go

as well as a better looking uploading icon for it as well

[Peardian]

Much better! And thanks for putting them in a .RAR like that, makes it easier than having to download all 50 separately.


I'll have these up tomorrow.

[Peardian]

And all of the models are up now.


For future reference, please try to do more research when you're naming files. Tina has never been referred to as "Mistress Tina". In fact, as far as Google is concerned, the phrase "Mistress Tina" has never been mentioned on the same web page as "Adventure Island". Her name is simply Tina, nothing more. Please be more careful next time, especially when it comes to the names of well known main characters.


Also, I corrected the spelling for the Tomato's icon, and made you an icon for Milk, since you were having trouble with it.

thanks i'll try for next time to get the names correct and thanks for uploading them ^^
