Random Talking Bush's Sprite Showoff

[Deathbringer]

What kind of script?

What kind of script?

Both 3DS Max and QuickBMS, the former to convert the texture coordinates' float values into integers (QuickBMS cannot read floats correctly) and to preview the pre-assembled sprites (such as in the example in my previous message), and then QuickBMS does all the heavy lifting afterwards (reading the texture data, and exporting each sprite to DDS).

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be releasing the script itself, as it's insanely hacky and absolutely not user-friendly in the slightest (finding the most ridiculous solutions to problems seems to be my specialty ). In its current state, canvas sizes for sprites need to be manually set since I don't have a way of judging minimum/maximum sprite dimensions (the sprite information consists only of vertex positions and facepoints, and coordinates that extend past the pre-set width/height boundaries will wrap around and overwrite parts they're not supposed to), semi-transparencies currently erase anything underneath it (which thankfully doesn't affect Bloodstained with its all-or-nothing opacity, but Mighty Gunvolt Burst uses it in spades so I need to manually repair sprites sometimes), and the sprites themselves take up a lot of space since it's all raw pixel data with usually tons of padding around each one.

If anything, I'd like to learn how to code with C++ first, so I can make a program like Daxar did for the Shantae games and convert the OSB files directly to PNG, so I wouldn't have to re-invent the wheel, heh... Until then, I could supply the converted-but-not-arranged sprites for others if anyone wants me to (e.g. sending you the Bloodstained enemies, in case you want to verify your CotM1 rips or sheet the ones from CotM2 -- I've still got dibs on the remaining bosses, though).

[Deathbringer]

I was gonna ask if you could verify them but I can take the enemies from 1/2 and do it myself then.

It'd probably be best anyway, since you're the one that ripped most of them it only makes sense for you to be the one to maintain 'em. That, and I'm going to be busy with other rips for now, so if I were to sheet 'em it'd probably be a while before they'd be ready. I'll send 'em to you when they're done extracting and I've checked 'em over.

[Deathbringer]

You're still doing the boss for the shoot-em-up section, right?

[Random Talking Bush]

You're still doing the boss for the shoot-em-up section, right?

That's the plan, yeah.

[HellZero]

Oh yeah, so I have a sprite extraction script for Inti Creates' more recent games now (so Blaster Master Zero 2, Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 1 and 2, Dragon Marked for Death and Mighty Gunvolt Burst... but not Blaster Master Zero 1, the Gunvolt trilogy or the original Mighty Gunvolt since those games use a different format)

Did you said.... Dragon Marked for Death? How?

The sprite assembly information wasn't that difficult to figure out once I had the decrypted files to work with, the only difference was I needed to manually recolor the sprites since they use palettes instead of RGBA.

But yeah. It will certainly take a while to get all of the player sprites assembled -- pictured below is just one animation (out of around 100-ish) with all of the weapon variants.


Still determining what's the best way to go about sheeting all those. Probably one sheet per character/weapon combination, but even then they're going to be quite large.

Ripping at a glacier's pace. Good stuff.

Get ready for the next battle, because it's likely going to be the last one for Smash.

[Gussprint]

Honestly I ain't even mad.

Just scared of the inevitable onslaught of RIP hashtags.

...For real though, I'm not upset about it. Ever since this second batch of DLC started I kept telling myself "If she gets in, GREAT! If not, that's cool too" an' everything. So all things considered, this was a good alternative.



...That being said, if we do get a new Smash later down the road? It's on again.

As long i know about that game, the textures of it comes with some Messy pixels like in the Gunvolt Series of Games. Well maybe is a bit different but still... For example there @rufaswan managed to get most of the assembly data, but because the textures have some messy pixels, the assembled sprites end like an assembled mess. There is a possible way to solve that? Or the only way can be manually?

My work here's done, now to sleep for 358/2 days.

[Gussprint]

For those of you wonderin' why the Internet pretty much... well, lost their collective mind a couple of weeks ago (give or take), here's why.



...Yeah, that's about all I've got for this one. Well, besides thinkin' about those ol' Flash animations from the post-Brawl era. I know for a fact there were at least one or two of 'em that joked about Sora (Or heck, any Square Enix related character period) becoming a Smash fighter.

Somewhere in Olympus, Apollo's laughin' his sunny keister off right now.

[Random Talking Bush]

Got a bunch of new stuff, and a bunch of updated stuff (underneath the line break) for this spontaneous update. I was planning on doing a joke to follow up my last update, but I realized I missed the deadline by a fair amount. Phooey.
