puggsoy's Bottomless Top Hat Of Sprites

[Garamonde]

Free Range has some black space that could be removed. To fix it, I say place a straight black line(s) between what you and Shade ripped to separate it more neatly. Everything else is updated though.

[puggsoy]

Right, squished it some more, and put a black line. Hope that's better

And thanks for uploading the other sheets. You might want to add me as a submitter but it's not necessary or anything, if you can't or don't want to that's fine.

And thanks for uploading the other sheets.

No problem.

You might want to add me as a submitter but it's not necessary or anything, if you can't or don't want to that's fine.

Ohhh I kinda completely forgot about that. I'm so dumb.
But seriously yeah, they should all be fixed now, and Free Range has been updated.

[puggsoy]

Right, so I ripped the missing bits from Housewares, but I'd like to pose a question before submitting it. As you can see, Shade also ripped the flipped versions of the animals and objects, but as far as I know, this is unnecessary. I mean, anybody who's gonna use them can flip them manually (in fact most people would do this anyway since it's usually faster processing-wise).

I could leave it be, but if you want I wouldn't mind removing the unneeded sprites. This would probably also allow me to rearrange them a bit and possibly minimize blank space.

[Garamonde]

Yes please, that would be great. But first I'd take the flipped sprites and mirror them and compare them to the others before deleting them. If they are exactly the same then go for it!

Housewares (Minigame) [fix of existing sheet] - 1/8/2012

Housewares
WarioWare: Touched! (DS)

There we go. Yeah they were the same, to be honest I'd be surprised if they weren't, for this specific minigame that's too small a detail for the makers to care about. But thanks for saying so anyway, always good to check

[Garamonde]

VERY nice organization you have there. I'm glad I remembered to suggest the black lines. Updated!

[puggsoy]

Thanks, yeah I'm using the lines all the time now. I should have actually put them in all the previous sheets, I'd do it for the sake of consistency but I can't be bothered.
Anyway:

Party Popper (Minigame) [fix of existing sheet] - 2/8/2012


WarioWare: Touched! (DS)

This one is actually by Yak, but I thought I may as well do it too. Took heaps of rearrangement though. By the way, I made a new icon for this one because Yak's one incorrectly says "Party Poppers", it's not supposed to be plural.

[Garamonde]

Updated.

Pyoro T (Souvenir) and Tune Out (Minigame) [fixes of existing sheets] - 3/8/2012

Pyoro T
Tune Out
WarioWare: Touched! (DS)

Pyoro T actually a souvenir but it's in the minigame section, so you should move it. I removed some stuff (such as graphics from pausing) since those are used in all minigames and souvenirs, and also reripped the bottom title screen since the background and button's weren't separated.

By the way you might be wondering what those "moustaches" on Tune Out are, they're puffs of air that come out of the teacher's nose when she gets angry, weird I know. They were a bit harder to rip than normal though since they're overlapping the teacher's on the same layer, but still separately animating sprites (i.e. not part of her animation frames).

Watered Down (Minigame) [fix of existing sheet] - 6/8/2012

A quick one just before I leave

Mechanical Pyth (Enemy) - 9/8/2012


Bastion (PC/Computer)



Ah yes. The sweet smell view of a brand new game being added to tSR. And that game is Bastion, no less. It's a really great game that's been highly praised and I can imagine that a lot of people will enjoy these sheets, even if just for reference. Another reason why I'm so stoked to be doing this.

I'm not sure if there's an official name, but "Mechanical Pyth" seems most accurate and probably the one most people call it by anyway (it's also the name of the Bastion Wiki's article). In-game it's referred to as just a mechanical representation of the god Pyth, so I could call it "Pyth", but I dunno. I think this is all right, if I ever find an official name I'll change it.

Concerns

Although this sheet is usable straight up, I had a look and others don't seem to be so convenient. Due to this particular enemy not having any animations (it simply attacks by moving into you), the organization of these frames doesn't really matter, they're just all the different directions it can face. However other sheets that do have animations seem severely unorganised. Also, sometimes there are multiple images containing just single frames of, as far as I can see, a random animation (i.e. it's not significant or anything).
For example one enemy has a sheet with heaps of its animations (walking and attacking and such), but the frames of a single animation are strewed around in such a way that it'd be difficult to get them all together, then also find out what order they go in. Some look very similar.
This same enemy then has a huge bunch of separate images, which make up a single animation (in this case a "Heavy Melee Hit"). These frames aren't in the sheet, but they are named in order, making it easier to animate them.
The same goes for the main character. So far I've only looked at his unarmed sprites (there are separate ones for each weapon) but I tell you it'd be difficult to make a GIF of him running in one direction. One thing that really confuses me is that there are these separate images again, of his idle animation, but as far as I can see some of these are also in the sheet. I'm not 100% sure though as there could be subtle differences.

So I'm a bit confused at what to do with this. I'd like to just submit the sheets as-is, but they're difficult for animators to animate. I could probably organise them into usable sheets, but that would be really tiresome and I'd put it off for quite a while since I don't really have the time to focus on finding out the order of animations and organising. And either way, I have to find out what to do with those separate images.
If you have any suggestions on what to do, that might help. In any case I'll keep looking through the files and see if I can find some sort of trend or pattern that will help me make sense of these sheets. It's not only character animations but world graphics are confusing too. The only thing I can rip with confidence right now is GUI stuff and such, since those don't have animations and their sheets aren't really confusing.

Anyway I haven't completely stopped with fixing WarioWare sheets. I'll probably do one or two every now and then, there aren't that many really and they're pretty easy. But my main focus for the time being will be on Bastion.

[Garamonde]

Leave the sheets as they're extracted. For everything else that comes as individual sprites just place them however you want or .ZIP them.

[puggsoy]

Awesome, that'll make it much easier. For the individual frames, I'll probably just slap them onto the sheets (so that you have the entire character on a single sheet).

There are, however, some sheets that contain stuff from multiple bits of the game. For example there's one sheet that contains bits from the map, main menu, Arsenal (weapon selection), Memorial (contains vigils, sort of like achievements), and various other icons and stuff. However it doesn't contain everything of these, for example it contains the images of the vigils but not the background or overworld sprites of the Memorial. In this case I'd want to organise them, that is, I'd put all Memorial related sprites in one sheet, even if they're originally found in different files (which will be the case). That way people can find the Memorial sheet, and instantly have all the sprites related to it.

I just want to make sure you're OK with this. You said to leave the sheets as they're extracted, but I'd only want this for sheets with difficult-to-reorganise animations, like the one I linked to, since they're only related to a single character anyway. But other stuff like GUI and easily organised graphics I would prefer to put into my own sheets rather than bunches of sprites that shouldn't be together.

[Garamonde]

Oh yeah, re-organize anything you feel should be organized, no problem with that. Also please feel free to add your tag on the sheets still.
