- Like?

This year's Sammer Bowl will be a lot different from last year's. It will consist a two parts... sprite creation 'n battle.

Sprite creation:
Submit t' me a name 'n sprite sheet a yer Sammer-lad. It must be the same size 'n animation as this one used for betalands. Each frame be 26x30:
standing - run1 - run2 - run3 - jump - jumping punch - standing punch

Battle:
There will be a Smash-Bros-style battle, where I will keep track a who kills who over a certain time period.

ye can practice battle right now in the betalands by entering the arena in the clouds. In the arena ye can double-jump 'n if ye visit Davey Jone's locker 3 times ye will pillage kicked out a the area (yer lives be reset each time ye enter the arena)

 

Congrats t' the winners: SPRITE: Viddd. BATTLE: Penguin PornAce OVERALL: Penguin PornAce

So, does the creativity a the sprite matter at all or be it soley based on yer performance in game?
Reply by Nastasia Jan 27 2013 22:49 GMT
creativity a the sprite matters. I'll probably have two winners, one for the sprite 'n one for the battle.
Reply by Francis Jan 27 2013 22:55 GMT
what if the best sprite be also the best at the game? what would happen then? do they pillage two medals?
Reply by Nastasia Jan 27 2013 23:01 GMT
Would ye mind getting a non-transparent version a this? Some transparent gifs mess up when ye open them in programs like paint or photoshop 'n the backgrounds turn black, which be terrible for a lot a sprites especially ones from old games since it removes the black borders 'n it be a pain t' have t' draw them back in. I still haven't found an adequate fix for it.
Reply by Nastasia Jan 27 2013 23:09 GMT
Make the background transparent or an easily detected color like hot-pink. Also saving as png might help, not sure.
Reply by Francis Jan 27 2013 23:12 GMT
No it be all black when i load it up. 'n it be a flat image so it be all stuck together so the sprite outline gets lost.
Reply by Nastasia Jan 27 2013 23:15 GMT

use something other than mspaint t' open the save file nas

Reply by Super-Claus Jan 27 2013 23:28 GMT
I just mentioned photoshop
Reply by Nastasia Jan 27 2013 23:32 GMT
i WANTED t' use photoshop
Reply by Nastasia Jan 27 2013 23:33 GMT

Here it be as a transparent gif 

'n with pink background

all ye need be 7 26x30 images side-by-side

Reply by Francis Jan 27 2013 23:33 GMT
Ok well, the pink one best work cuz then it wont erase the outline
Reply by Nastasia Jan 27 2013 23:35 GMT
just t' clarify, ye don't need t' stay within the megaman outline. ye can do anything ye want as long as each frame be 26x30 'n each frame be doing a similar action
Reply by Francis Jan 27 2013 23:37 GMT

I went ahead 'n made a blank body spritesheet for anyone who wants a clean slated megaman body t' work off a. ALSO I added guide bars at the top that tell ye when ye've hit the 26 pixle width mark, so theres that if ye be looking for something t' work off a.

Don't forget t' erase the guide bars once ye're done.

Reply by Super-Claus Jan 28 2013 03:42 GMT

Here's a superior template with a couple a things fixed, it shows where yer avatar be going t' be, some pixel cleanup, borders 'n dimentions nicely shown, 'n also an extra fourth frame added which Cap'n Francis best totally implement.

I be gonna look so bitchin piloting this mech

Reply by Viddd Jan 28 2013 08:02 GMT
What be the deadline for this?
Reply by Gold Prognosticus Jan 28 2013 10:30 GMT
Try t' have the sprite done by Saturday 'n the battle will be on Sunday.
Reply by Francis Jan 28 2013 14:42 GMT
What time be ye thinking for the Sunday battle? Weeknights aren't as bad for me any more, but I still might have timezone troubles at the weekend depending on when it runs.
Reply by Gold Prognosticus Jan 28 2013 16:06 GMT
Can ye please make it so we have the option t' make a seperate head sprite 'n not use our avatar? I dont want t' change me avatar but it also doesnt fit on a sprite
this has been me biggest problem with the game ever since it be a thing that be happening
Reply by Nastasia Jan 28 2013 16:23 GMT
A temporary measure could be t' create a secondary account, edit the avatar a that, 'n then use the ID a that avatar in http://nerr.biz:8081/game?usr=Nastasia&... (look at the URL a the avatar image 'n enter the name a the file, minus the '_50' or equivalent).
Reply by Gold Prognosticus Jan 28 2013 17:18 GMT
I don't know if I will have alternate avatars, but I probably will have the option t' not use yer avatar as yer head. So ye can make a body-sprite that includes whatever head ye want.
Reply by Francis Jan 28 2013 17:26 GMT
be ye going t' add that in before the fighting thing starts?
Reply by Nastasia Jan 28 2013 17:49 GMT
YARRRR
Reply by Francis Jan 28 2013 17:51 GMT
thanks Cap'n Francis youre the hero
Reply by Nastasia Jan 28 2013 17:55 GMT
quick question, do we need each frame t' be a seperate image or do they all go on one image?
Reply by Nastasia Jan 28 2013 21:57 GMT
all on one image like me example
Reply by Francis Jan 28 2013 22:58 GMT
thanks

Reply by Nastasia Jan 28 2013 23:25 GMT
i hope it doesnt look like it be smaller than the others i made sure t' keep the size the same it be the same height as megaman i think it just looks smaller because it be thinner but each one still takes the same space as the original sprite if that makes any sense also it be transparent each frame best be 26 pixels btw theres just some extra space but i used it t' make sure each be centered in the same frame as the original sprite
Reply by Nastasia Jan 28 2013 23:29 GMT
best i draw lines where each frame ends on mine since it be thinner than the others?
Reply by Nastasia Jan 28 2013 23:34 GMT

Reply by Francis Jan 29 2013 01:08 GMT

Reply by Alpha_StevO Jan 31 2013 15:38 GMT
be Betalands currently able t' support partial transparencies in sprites? (ie. if I be t' submit a sprite with a transparent background 'n some partially transparent pixels from blur 'n the like)
Reply by Gold Prognosticus Jan 31 2013 20:42 GMT
YARRRR, I think all modern browsers support partial transparency in PNGs
Reply by Francis Jan 31 2013 23:22 GMT
It works for GIFs as well, I think. I forgot what I saved me file as.
