the Purple part will not show in the game thats just the colour that makes that part "Transparent" or not show.

Im a bit confused. I see two red bars that go up, and the bottom one has a blue exclamation mark that flashes, which is yours. I like that idea.
I guess im missing something, didnt ms have a little bottle or something?

those bars are replacements for your Health bottle in the bottem left corner... but your only getting the red bar with the exclamination mark in it... i just have two bars to show the updated version and the old version but if you download it... it comes with the updated version oh yes and the reason the go up indead of down is quite weird too but thats how the game wants it to be... the animation has to start from empty to full if you want it to work right.

Also the only reason i made it like a bar is because i don't have the skills to make nice looking art... (art is just not my thing!) so unless someone wants to change those bars into a picture of something.... those will have to do i'm afraid

i also tryed to make the "Classic Doom guys face" but it lost so much quality just for it to work in-game so i stoped... i might make it again if i get the time.

 

[RedLetterDay]

Ill take a try at making something.

Does that sprite actually function proportionately? (Even if backwards?) I mean, the original sprite only has 10 frames, so I figured the program would only call the first ten frames of any new sprite you put in (if it would work at all).

That sprite needs *cough* work, but if it functions at all, it certainly increases the possibilities for the type of replacement healthbar sprites you could make. That discovery alone gives the sprite some value, no matter how plain it maybe.

We like our sprites like teenagers like their women: form before function.

Oh. Got it.


Muhahahaha

 

[Blaze]

yeah the game uses all frame now lets do some math

if you have 500 HP and the sprite has 10 frames that means that after you lose 50 HP it changes one frame.

but if there are 102 frames and HP is 500 then after you lose 4.9 HP it changes a frame.

but if you had 1000 frames and you have 500 HP it means that every 1 HP you lose the bar will drop by 2 frames :O thus the more frames there are the more "Realistic" it will look

quite nice! if i had the skills i would have made a bottle shape instead but... ohwell, HEY! if someone had made a bunch of frames with their design and saved in a .BMP with 256 colours... i can galdly make it into a .Spr file for you

I'll give you guys a REALLY high Frame one by TODAY!!! <-DONE! check first post!

 

[RedLetterDay]

Wow ive never seen another health bar like that new one. cool!
Edit: crappo. the zip is damaged. would you mind emailing the new 510 frame one to me?

[Blaze]

The ZIP seems fine did you "Right-click->Save Target As..."? well ill send it to you by e-mail anyway

 

[RedLetterDay]

ya i did that but when i tried to open it... it says archive is damaged.

 

[Blaze]

sometimes the download get screwed... what you do it download it again sometimes its not the .zip but the transfer made a mistake and change a piece of codeing.

 

[Thothie]

Granted, a real trick, as I mentioned before, would be to make a sprite of a heart that beats faster and faster based on the damage you took, until it 'sploded.

I do not think it would be possible without fugging wid da code though. Still, I'm surprised this thing here is possible, so who knows...

i doub't it too... mind you it changes frames ONLY when you lose HP so if you don't lose HP it won't move... makeing the heart look... STUPID!

Those are very pretty! But if you said if some one had their own thaey wanted into an spr and w/the bottle and stuff how come you didn't save the bmp off of the sprviewer of the bottle? Or do you need evry single frame of the picture?

 

[ante_delonge]

a gif, no?

 

[Blaze]

if someone wants... i can make alot of frames for ANY picture you want... aslong as i get the FULL... then the EMPTY look then i can give you as many frames as possable!

EDIT: one thing... they both have to have the same palete just so you know! heck you can make it in Paint and it will work.... also has to be in 256 colour

It's smooth, granted, but it just doesn't fit in MS.
