Fixing Strider sprite

viddi · 13 December 2010, 22:47

Hey,
did you ever notice the gfx errors of the Strider main character?
They appear while going up and down on slopes.

I think the character isn´t cut out properly and I´d like to see it fixed.

Could a coder out there take pity and do me this favor?
Thank you very much in advance.

Sure this isn't emulation related? Same problem on a real amiga?

viddi · 14 December 2010, 22:39

Nope and yes.

I checked my original copy and the WHDload release.
Just try it...It looks so shitty, especially in motion.

Bumpy Bump!

I´m still searching for someone who can decompress and fix the player sprite.
Please help...would be awesome!

Maybe its just clipping another Sprite

What are the dimensions of the main Sprite?

viddi · 09 April 2011, 18:36

Sorry, no idea.

Maybe you could check the files of the attached disk version?
I´m not sure which file contains the main sprite...

Thanks Boo Boo.

The Attached file is labeled wrong

I know because I was caught out when I downloaded from planetemu its Strider II

Strider II the graphics are just 320*200 but Strider 1 I dont know have to ask someone who's good with GFX rip

Then figuring out the packer........

But if its clipping another sprite Id but this down to codding error have to look at the sprite sheet first.

Any news?!

I´m sure someone can fix it.
Maybe the Atari ST sprite can be used?

The graphics look fine in memory, so the code is most likely to blame. The black pixel doesn't appear in memory.

viddi · 07 May 2013, 15:10

Thanks for the info, Codetapper.
So I guess fixing the black pixel bug is almost impossible?!

No. But code related....
