Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Sun Jun 12, 2005 11:03 am

sent it (replying to the one you sent wiht)

did it arrive this time?

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Sun Jun 12, 2005 2:29 pm

another one i think i might need help with, unless y'all think its good enough... the Main Gauche

the main problems wiht it as it was currently in BG is that A) it was too big, and B) there was no sprite for the left handed version

its designed to be held in the left hand with a sword or rapier in the right to help block blows... sooooooo....

as always, any suggestions are welcomed

Post by **artaxerxes** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 3:52 am

hence the name, "main gauche", litteraly meaning "left hand", so that the right hand is used for your main weapon (for right handed people).

Artaxerxes

i hasve the same question.

Post by **wjp** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 4:52 am

quote from Dominus:

How to put in the game: someone of the Exult team (preferably wjp) has to add them to the data files and point exult to them. When this is done, you need to download a new Exult snapshot.

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 8:25 am

will you be telling me if and when they make it into a snapshot?

nex666 · Post by **nex666** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 9:57 am

Crystal: I never posted on stratics hehe

I made that for UO, the top highly modified, the skirt from scratch.

Totally from scratch.

Uh sorry to invade your post, just showing them

Also this hehe

Cat people I made.

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 10:28 am

its ok.. they're pretty nice ^_^

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 11:20 am

now then.. this post i shall state in advance is NOT of original graphics, no, these are sprite rips from the SNES version of Black Gate.

I checked over the files in Studio carefully and didnt see these portraits.. if they ARE in tehre and I missed them, or if they were used in another Ultima game.. pease tell me

Next line on the image starts with a few shopkeeper sprites that are used for the SNES version, as shopkeepers are permanently stuck behind counters.. however it would be interesting to see soem of these maybe pop up in the PC Black Gate, eh?

Just after the shopkeeper is the SNES version of Lap-Lem's stolen amulet, the reason for ripping is...

the only edit in the thread

For those that dont know, in Black Gate when you're asked to retrieve the Gargoyle Lap-Lem's stolen amulet, it is actually a normal amulet... allowing the quest to be completed before its even been started by bringing him a normal amulet of the same shape. Im pretty sure the same goes for Katrina's amulet later in the game, but alas I havent gotten that far in BG SNES yet.

SO.. I figure inserting a new shape and have it point to THAT as the item to retrieve instead should fix the problem

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 11:28 am

and i just now noticed that the wiping frames are in the exult graphics

HOWEVER

the gesturing ones arent, so they're worth noting

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 1:23 pm

another 6 that are SNES-native

ill keep lookin for more, but its a tedious game

why am i posting these? because some of the avid Exult Studio gamemakers might need some NPC portraits, and what better place to get some more than another version of the same game?

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 1:24 pm

i meant 5.. lol

definitely not a good idea. most people have no right to own the ROM of the SNES game nor the knowledge of how to rip it from their cartridge. And offering either the rom or the art is a big no no if you want to stay on the legal side

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 1:54 pm

ooo.... shoot... sorry... ill take em down.. sucks that i never think about stuff liek that beforehand x.x

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 2:01 pm

there.. took down the portraits... at least until i can find out who drew them for the game and ask for their permission for them to be used

but, the shopkeeper sprites will stay.. adn the edited amulet... ill probably draw an entirely new one now tho

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 5:42 pm

from left to right, Katrina's locket, and paperdoll and in-game versions of Lap-Lem's locket, the reason for which I explained earlier

SB-X · Post by **SB-X** » Mon Jun 13, 2005 6:40 pm

If you were going to take down the SNES graphics you might as well take them all down, as you're probably not legally allowed to repost any of them here. But there is a difference in posting them here, and using them in a new game.
I wanted to see them.

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 14, 2005 1:44 am

you're probably right

ok, i post these again, but warn anyone that might think of using them that its your own darn risk if you do

these are for archival purposes only.. just so you can see what they look like

also, its worth noting that extremely crazy-looking guy is the SNES version of Cain (renamed Kain).. he's more of "the Insane one" than "the Tortured one"

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 14, 2005 2:59 am

alright.. this is the most complicated one ive done so far.. its about 80% edits, but its probably the most accurate you could hope for..

the Avatar costume!

it comes in three parts:

each one layers up one to make the whole costume

as to implementing it in game... it should make all other worn items invisible, save for helmets, gauntlets, backpacks, belt items, and obviously weapons..and neck items with only the upper cape part over them..

i know it'll take a lot of work, but there really isnt any other way to do it right

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 14, 2005 3:06 am

erk.. i forgot two things

one is the other two arm frames..

and the other is that the female version will come later

Post by **marzo** » Tue Jun 14, 2005 6:18 am

Wow... it looks great, I must say. The only thing I have to add is that the cloak's clasp is too far to the right; moving it 3-4 pixels to the right and 1-2 pixels up will probably make it perfect.

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 14, 2005 9:44 am

the clasp is as it is on the red cloak in SI.. i didnt move it at all

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 14, 2005 12:11 pm

same as last one.. blah blah... my example is actually off a bit, i suggest ignoring it aside from as a visual representation

Post by **Dominus** » Tue Jun 14, 2005 12:47 pm

the female avatar has bare legs except for the boots. At least according to the original paperdoll.

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 14, 2005 1:02 pm

ack... i forgot to check her paperdoll.. lol

ah well, is easy to change

thanks again Dom ^^;

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Tue Jun 14, 2005 1:25 pm

there

and, for the record, i didnt draw the tiara as that is specific of the one white female avatar

that would need another head

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Wed Jun 15, 2005 3:29 am

face for Katrina... needed because my gorgets dont fit the current face.. is too wide.. the left side is over her cheek.. lol.. :\

Those catpeople are great. I guess it's just my abnormal liking of cats working up again!

I am hijacking the thread, but let's go: how is this for the Death Scythe?

Gradilla Dragon · Post by **Gradilla Dragon** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 5:46 am

aren't the scythe staves supposed to be a little curve?

http://www.ruralhistory.org/educational ... nodeid=134

Post by **marzo** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 6:07 am

I went by the in-game graphic, which isn't. But after a quick google, I did find scythes that don't have the curve:

http://www.permaculture.co.uk/mag/Artic ... tters.html
http://www.scythesupply.com

Apparently, only the traditional 'american' scythe has the curve.

Better use harvest machinery. It's WAY faster, and cheaper to maintain than a group of workers worth the machines' work speed.

Plus, man, if I used a scythe, I'd probably screw up and like, cut off a leg or something. Those things look dangerous. I can't even use nail clippers without getting hurt.

The scythe graphics look good- they look more like the original graphic in BG...(IIRC, the death scythe was not in SI?)

Katrina looks good, too. And...ha! is that the Avatar costume I see? XD Lovely work!

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 9:33 am

my katrina isnt as good as the one i wanna see used... its too creepy

but to be honest i havent touched the Death Scythe graphics at all because I felt they were more than good enough already, being a recolored SI scythe

Post by **marzo** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 12:23 pm

but to be honest i havent touched the Death Scythe graphics at all because I felt they were more than good enough already, being a recolored SI scythe

Heh. The interesting thing is that I re-did the Death Scythe exactly *because* it was just a recolored SI scythe. I feel that a weapon this unique should have its own graphic.

Crysta the Elf · Post by **Crysta the Elf** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 12:57 pm

i think it does fine as a recolor..

besides, with your thinking several other magic weapons would have to be redrawn as well.. like the Hoe of Destruction.

and now, for something more mundane

the ether gem.. one of the items that needs to be readied to be used... the uncharged gem would jsut be what is held in the character's hand... the charged gem is the one with the aura

this was done jsut to keep myself busy.. i dont care if it gets used or not

Post by **marzo** » Thu Jun 16, 2005 1:10 pm

The hoe of destruction is not a good example as it looks like the in-game sprite already

. But yeah, I do mean that the unique weapons should have good sprites. I started with the Death Scythe because it rocks

. BTW, how many of you know that it not only has huge damage but is also a magebane *and* curses the foe you hit?
