About this forum

bippym · 03 April 2005, 00:02

This forum has been created due to the huge amount of interest that has been generated from ripping Sprites/maps/tiles etc from Amiga games

The forum will be modded by Myself, X_to and Synthetics_w

The purpose of this forum is to have separate threads for each game we are ripping gfx from (so we don't clutter up 1 thread!!), a more centralised specific area for help & advice etc..

This forum is not for any old junk, don't post pics of badly ripped sprites or sprites/maps/tiles that don't follow the strict rules!

Remember if you are unsure then ask!

Finally a state of art mess in on place

Looking forward for hundreds of new threads/posts/sprites

fairchild · 07 April 2005, 11:58

Perhaps not the right place to post this, but i saw a tutorial for gfxrip somewhere, anyone got it? i wanna start playing around and see if i can contribute something to this project

Joe Maroni · 07 April 2005, 12:33

yes there were tutorials written by me, but unfortunately the sites were deleted in a way that i don´t understand...

nevertheless i saved the 3 first tutorials and could send them to you...if you like...

the rest of the stuff is sadly deleted forever...

edit: no way...even the first 3 tutorials are lost...maybe one day there will be new ones...

Joe Maroni · 07 April 2005, 21:09

i found them...if you are already interested...i will upload it to the zone...

bippym · 07 April 2005, 21:11

Send them to me please X_to (or put in zone) I'll put them on my webspace and create links

Joe Maroni · 07 April 2005, 21:43

it´s in the zone, but tutorial 4 is lost forever...but the first 3 are helpful enough..

fairchild · 08 April 2005, 09:48

Thanx! ill read them and then start ripping

fairchild · 08 April 2005, 10:18

I have problem to find palette for Rick Dangerous as i tried to rip this. I think the sprites are in ST mode. But still the simple, and advance mode doesnt get me any possible colors.. How does the palette from picture work?

bippym · 08 April 2005, 10:19

Firstly this is a thread ABOUT the project so please start a new thread

Secondly you probably cannot find the palette so you need to screengrab and do colours manually!

Joe Maroni · 08 April 2005, 22:52

maybe its useful to notice that it´s nearly impossible to find the correct palette in SP mode in fact that hardware sprites uses another method of color selection than Blitter objects (Bobs) and bitmaps...
don´t make an effort to search the palette in this mode...it would never work...

bippym · 08 April 2005, 22:58

Also another thing to note..

Most gfx use the same palette data for 1 level.

So my advice is: If you rip say a sprite from level 1 of a game and set the palette externally, save the image as a bmp and use the "C" command in the sprite ripper to load an external palette. Select the modified bmp and it'll drop the colours in. Hopefully setting the colours for other sprites

note: this method doesn't always work but it worked for Captive (I had to do Captive in various parts, setting a palette and then editing colours of others I missed, after 3 edits I had all 32 colours correct) and also Warzone

the amigas sprites still look cool even by todays standards

gifgit · 03 September 2005, 19:47

All my shit in the zone.

bippym · 04 September 2005, 00:25

Cool

I'll get them later as I just put a new HD in (my 120gb finally died)....

I plan to use my webspace to hold these archives.. just need someone to code a funky webpage

Kada · 06 December 2005, 10:21

bippym: I am not the best webdesigner around, but I'm pretty damn good with PHP (if I may say so myself...). Let me know if I can be of any help.

bippym · 06 December 2005, 19:42

there is a website being developed.. just waiting for it to come online so we can get the sprites upped etc

Kada · 07 December 2005, 08:57

Sounds great!

Shoonay · 17 July 2008, 13:36

Since all the threads informing about the sites containing the sprites are locked, and the sites are down, may I ask here, where could I get them?
I'm after a few pure level/character sprites from various games to play a bit with the SF editor

bippym · 18 July 2008, 00:04

I had them all on the HD that died

Shoonay · 18 July 2008, 20:54

oh dear...

gifgit · 24 July 2008, 19:44

@5hoon4y

I can put my main sprite rips in the zone if that will help

(edit) posted a zip of sprites in zone for ya

Shoonay · 24 July 2008, 19:59

oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you

Shoonay · 24 July 2008, 20:18

gifgit · 24 July 2008, 21:56
