Help with Xenon 2 - Page 2

Total Eclipse · 27 June 2005, 10:55

Sorry for not replying sooner - a 9 week old son means that I can't really chose when I get time to sit down and hack about with graphics.

I've been persevering with GFXRip, but after reading chrisr's post, I'll give the Action Replay method a try. Unfortunately I missed my chance to grab it from the Zone - can anyone repost it please?

BTW I have found a fairly easy way to get all the tiles I need, but unfortunately I doubt they'd be valid to submit to the sprite restoration project....

I found a level editor for the PC version, so constructed a level that contains all the tiles in sequence, then just ripped them from DOSbox.

ACTION REPLAYIN THE ZONE!!!!

Thanks

I found the right pallette!:
Pall-624
Mode-ST
ORDER N-76053210.

I pressed L once then experemented with the keys 1-4.
The attached image has not been re-coloured at all,it came straight from gfx rip.

Edit: the tiles are stored in 4 bitplanes with 5 bitplane sprites between them.

here are some tiles from level one i found, they are all over the place with lots of garbage between them

gifgit · 09 July 2005, 22:40

The garbage is the 5 bitplane enemy sprites,it does get a bit messy but at least it`s possible to rip them now without mucking about with re-colouring the rips.

The level 1 boss is made up of 4 bitplane tiles and 5 bitplane sprites.

This should get you to the font which is just before the sprites

gifgit · 14 July 2005, 19:09

This is as far as I have got with level one.This takes a lot of editing and tidying up.

Still got a long way to go.
Edid:Here`s the font.

Edit:removed shitty sprite sheets.

maVado · 15 July 2005, 00:24

those are

keep it up

maVado · 07 August 2005, 20:45

better late then never

attached is everything from level 1 excluding the hud, which you can rip from a screenshot, but all the fonts, player, bonuses, explosions, weapons, add ons, enemies, tiles and animated tiles and the boss as a tileset with all animation tiles

enjoy

Cool rips!! Your sprite sheets look very professional.

maVado · 07 August 2005, 22:33

Thanks! Did you revover eveything from your harddrive ?

im going to rip every other level from xenon2 this week, including the shop.

gifgit · 07 August 2005, 22:48

I seem to have sorted most of my stuff but my graphics driver is fucked so my pc crashes a lot.Hopefully I can sort it out tomorrow.Good luck with the rest of Xenon 2,you seem to have a magic touch with ripping.

maVado · 08 August 2005, 08:07

lol well i was reading through the thread again and i noticed that you wrote the bitplane order and i just figured that out in gfxrip lol, so i started with xenon 2

Total Eclipse · 08 August 2005, 12:42

That's exactly what I was after! Unfortunately I've not had chance to look into this recently, but you obviously know what you're doing!!!

maVado · 08 August 2005, 20:52

yeah, just wait about a week or so and then you will have everything for your gba project ...

maVado · 11 August 2005, 00:23

here is an update of the sheet, now including level 2, still 3 levels to rip ...

the enemy for the first part of level 2 consists of many basic tiles, just take screenshots and you can easily rebuild him, the second boss, the spider, i seperated all the needed tiles from the tileset.

more soon
