Re: First-person Weapon Sprites
Thanks. Once I hone my animation coding skills on the animals, I'll see if I can pull these and get them going in the ambidexterity mod.

Re: First-person Weapon Sprites
Here are inventory graphics for three of the longbows (steel, silver, elven) - specifically texture 234.
My plan is to leave a good portion of each bow as wood so that current 1st person animation still makes sense...
realakp - could you PM me the best way to share these with you?

Re: First-person Weapon Sprites
Any chance you render it in high res as well? When making new weapons like this axe, its about changing the output resolution?

Re: First-person Weapon Sprites
Couldn't you do it Starcraft style and animate them in 3D, then convert them to pixel art and do a quick pass to clean them up? I'd think you could semi-automate it in Blender and Photoshop.l3lessed wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 3:55 pm The amount of time and work to create the number of unique frames needed for a completely new sprite for all weapons or even the overlapping blades is very high. Each weapon has 5 individual frames per attack animation; with 6 attack animations possible, that is 30 frames a weapon. that's hundreds of hand drawn frames. Probably not going to happen, unless there is an extremely bored, dedicated artist out there with tons of time and patience on his hand.
I don't know how hard this is to mod, though. It worries me that it might require tons of extra code to make what seems to me like a minor change. I'd think it would just be a matter of practicality; it's very resource expensive for something most players wouldn't notice, and probably was impossible for a game in the 90s.

Re: First-person Weapon Sprites
The artist can do it however they need. I'm no artist past basic paint.net and gimp use. If it is easier than it seems to create them, then the next step is coding on the script side.Couldn't you do it Starcraft style and animate them in 3D, then convert them to pixel art and do a quick pass to clean them up?

There are two separate issues here:
The first is you would need to code a new fpsweapon script to render all the new weapon textures. The base script has no way to import whole new textures and animations. It can only replace the default ones. I technically have done this now, and I could update my mod to include custom weapon texture and animation sets. Some one can do it themselves too.
This leads to the second issue, well kind of issue. For it to be compatible with my weapon smoothing mod feature, it has to match classic ratios, sizes, and positions. For HD, it has to match the Dream textures. If it doesn't, it will lead to frame skipping and cut offs most likely.

I'll rerender everything in hi res for you when I finish.King of Worms wrote: ↑Wed Oct 27, 2021 9:56 am Any chance you render it in high res as well? When making new weapons like this axe, its about changing the output resolution?
This is what I do everything is animated in 3D, then rendered and converted to sprites. I have automated the process as much as I can but it's still a lot of work.
