SuperCars II sprites
Hi All,
I've been trying to rip the sprites from the game Supercars II, and I know that if I scroll to offset 421829 with size x:32 y:276 using Tomcat666's GfxRipper on the attached file, I can see the actual car sprites. Problem is, how do I then align all the colours etc to be able to extract them? It's not easy, is it? Please please help. Thanks, Lazarus404 |

*cough* you know I've made 3d models of these cars right? :-)
If you need them for any projects, I'll upload the model (made in 3dsmax) to the zone. I've handed it in now for my 3d project at uni (made a 3d animation- its around 50mb tho).... so if anyone's up for making a remake, LET ME KNOW! :-D ... I got a bit of knowledge in Java(script) ... but mostly I wanna concentrate in all aspects of 3D... JOTD, give me the word... I've also converted an original track from Supercars 2 to 3D... if you're interested in it, drop me a PM... unless teh nice people at abime would give me permission to upload a nice 40mb animation to the zone ;-) Last edited by EmuChicken; 13 June 2005 at 00:00. |

Ok, see the attached images... The B/W one shows how I've found the correct sprites, while the colour one shows the obvious inability of mine to align the bitplanes. I've tried changing plane types, altering the y value etc etc, but still can't come up trumps. Seems when I manage to align about three planes, the next one is over on the x and so can't be aligned... I'm losing hair over it.
Someone please help. Thanks |

Supercars 2 sprites & remake
Hi all,
First, I'm 100% sure the game uses EHB (extra half bright), because of the nice shadows on the circuit... IMHO It would have been impossible without EHB on a 68000! I dunno about the Atari ST version. Second, how the hell the corners of the circuit have been ripped? I tried to create maps "by hand" by assembling screenshots but some corners are NEVER visible? Third, yes I am interested by a 3DSmax model of the supercars pseudo-BMW car. The development of my remake (Java) has started and if you're interested I'll keep you posted about the progress. |

every track is stored as a bitmap, completely rendered with everything on it, therefor it was easy to rip them.

Supercars 3 teaser
BTW slightly offtopic but I can't resist:
I'm working on a remake (Java) with a circuit editor and lots of possible cars. Lots to be done but main principles are there and you can already drive the car though the circuits, with bounds detections (the hard part...) See the screenshot with Audi TT car on level 1 easy level |

And the car should be red (or green). If someone is interested, I could upload a demo in the zone. But it will take a while before the game is playable, even if the main technical difficulties are behind IMHO. Lots of things to do in this game The cool point is that the game comes with an editor (to define the road , boundaries and other stuff), thus it is possible to play supercars 1 levels too, or any level designed by talented users My goal is to make it as customizable as possible. |
