Barbarian 2 sprites

Maxim · 06 May 2011, 15:21

I am trying to rip from Barbarian 2 and need some help. So far, i have narrowed the sprites down to the correct tile size and it looks almost right, but theres a second bitplane (green) that is slightly off:

I already tried to shift the data forward and backward but no luck. How do i make the bitplanes overlap each other correctly?

Edit: Savestate added

Which mode did you use? There are two ways to shift data - one shifts data after each bitplane and other other after each image (sprite). It looks to me like the second biplane (green) is off by 1 byte - you need to get the software to skip 1 byte after the 1st bitplane data.

Firstly I doubt it is 2 bitplanes!!

Try three

Thank you for your help, i figured it out now. Indeed, i used the wrong number of bitplanes and the wrong skip mode (Skip-picture instead of Skip-bitplane). Now i only have to find the correct palette. If Gfxrip fails with that, i will edit it manually.

Cool

I didn't want to give you the solution, only point you in the right direction

Glad I could help out. I'm new at this too - I'm in the middle of doing Flashback

as I need the animation framework for one of my own projects.

I have assembled the playable characters from the tiles. Here are the links:

Barbarian
Female Barbarian

The Enemies will follow soon (i hope).

its seems that there's missing pixels in some animations but I could be wrong.

There's nothing missing. Some sprites look cut-off because the player is overlapping with a monster in some of the death animations.

If anyone finds this thread and wants to try his or her hand at ripping sprites with Maptapper, here is a screenshot using the savestate above, with the values you need to get the sprites to look right. I wasn' able to get the correct colors yet.

Is it possible to change the gfx and reinject it in the uss ??

No.

Yeah you can but probably not the best game to do it with.
