Kange

meh. idk why people think seperate ways was so epic. it was good, but i loved the story in 4, and i lvoed the suitcase idea, not the 10 slot they went abck to in 5..lame..and i dont really see much of a relationship of any kind there, jsut two business partners tryin to make a buck.

thinkin bout it, didnt wesker contract ada as a merc in 4 to get the las plagas for him? i think that was it, they wrent 'friends' or anything. wesker cant have friends. he doesn tplay well with others..

aha, easy there killer :P im pretty sure they both worked for umbrella and just ended up on some missions together, Ada is kinda under wesker, but is all fuuuuu about it, doin her own thing.

i was under the impression you could read minds :o lol i will send it to you in a p.m. ^^

aha well it doesnt hurt to try ^^ and a wha o.o i know basically nothing about eventing..again..maid, cartwheels, bad deal. You mean the discription of what i need, or an actual script

thanks you..and yes...yes i did..*shifty eyes, places my hand in my jacket pocket and pulls out an envelope.slides it across the table*

as you said and id be highly greatful for the help :D the first event is a cut scene. would you rather do the eventing, or would you rather do a tileset ^^

It has no name, or anythign to it yet really sept the general story. For now im going to make the game using rtp, but after its completion, im going to look for spriters to do 100% custom work if possible. So for later i will be looking for spritists, but for now, im looking for Eventors to event maps as i go. When making the map, i place an event tile where the event should take place and type a discription. it will have everythign the eventor will need to know to script out the whole event. If there are any questions, eventor can jsut ask me. Also, i plan on doing some serious custom battle work. The story itself is a fantasy rpg following a man who has no memory of who he is or why hes in the situation that he is and his adventure to figure all that fun stuff out. The battles will be 2d side battles, like ff4. The boss battles however are all going to be custom to each battle. For instance the first boss is a giant spider, the battle will be transformed into a side scroller platformer that you have to dodge the spiders legs, its bite, its venom spit and its webbing, to kill it, you jump up the plat form and take out all 6 of her eyes, one at a time, ending with a final 7th blow. fun stuff. anywhooooo getting ahead of myself here...Need eventors, any questions, jsut post em here ^^ Also, any seriosu spriters who want to get a jump on making the custom graphics, just say so and ill get you started on the very first area. tyty ^^

i said ty and id use it D:

mmm mmm all that triple post :P edits man lol *stamps another spam sticker on your forehead*

Ah, dirt. How we take you for granted. This tutorial is fairly easy and straight forward. start with the darkest color your going to have, a dark brown, something close to chocolate brown. Moving onto non primary colors, you have to start tweaking all the sliders instead of jstu being able to get away with one like we did with the grasses. Move all of your sliders, sept the black/white, lighter about 80 points each. Grab your pencil tool and pepper the hell out of that chocolate slab. you should end up with soemthing like zis!(image one) Moving right along, slide all the sliders up about 20, repeat. should have something liek image 2. When making the dirt, try to conceal as much of the darest shade as possible, leaving less each time, just dont over do it with the lighter shades to early ^^ Repeat step 2, for step 3!Here is where yuoll be doing soemthign less sporatic. just go through, cover up most of the dark brown so there are only a few dots of it layin around. Should end up with soemthign like image 4 and 5. But Kange, wouldnt it have been faster to choose the slightly lighter and randomly add very few of the darker spots at the end? Yes, yes it would. But my hindsight has always been 20/20. Now this is jsut typical meh dirt. nothin special, something quick and easy to do. For more pertyful dirt, we gotta plan a little better then that. Start with a light dusty color brown, like image 6. Using a dark brown, as in image 7, make shadows all around teh dirt, try to match the tiles sides for tiling consistancy later, where it ends on one side, pick up on the other.generally alot of shadow is good here. image 8. add a few highlights here and there. image 9. keep in mind light source, as it is uneven dirt and those are shadows. Well it didnt come out exactly as i had hoped, but there ya go, with some plany life and some rocks, it will look decent ^^

lol i dont see any webbing though ^^ it does look good though and ill use it for some other caves later :D when i say webbing, i mean, i cant see the cave anymore, webbing lol, loooots. covered, completely and totally. ill try to find an example :P

awesome. if you can make just a ton of spider webs and such every which way plus some eggs and all that fun stuff, i can lay them over already made cave pieces. need everything from 1x1 tile to a 3x3 to a 3x2 for doorways etc. anythign you can help would be greatly appreciated ^^ also, finished my grass tutorial, go check it out, tell me if theres more i should put and what needs improvement

bah, if you used to be able to, you can now ^^ give it a go, its fun. sometimes. when it goes your way -.- took me 3 hours ande 3 re types on that friggin tut to get it right. damn near killed me...im gonna do hay/dead grass now

can definatly use an eventer :D tried to make a bar maid walk once. cartwheels. for weeks. it was horrible...so..horrible...

my friend insists on gimp. its great for somethings. but i coudlnt really get the accuracy that i can with gale. if i need an effect, its easy to switch between em, so i stick to gale for initial disign. i have a stained glass window on my other profile, debugging comp now, should b able to acess it soon to post if anyone is interested. i guess ill get started on those other examples then since i wont be goin to sleep today..whoo..

well i reckon. first i need a nice cold cave, full of spider webs. i mean a shiz ton. eggs every where, carcasses all over, maybe a few glowy red eyes in the bg at random, add a lil to that effect. then i need an outside forest, very snowy, blizzarding as welll, still full of webs and such, and i need it to transition into just super snowy, no webbing, getting thinner and thinner, of course, that will be alot on the map makers part. did any of that make any sense x.x

i do actually ^^ the very begining of my game, its nothing no ones ever done here see? therefore theres no tiles that will fit what i need. *sets down a bag that clings when it hits the table* but if your up to the challenge, the rewards, they may suit you?

you never do cause you cant, or cause it takes to damn long :P

and when i reupload a different image the old one stays -.- ugh...this ones a tiny bit better..

DISREGARD THIS AND BELOW POST( anyway to delete these? they refer to the tut i first posted b4 i redid it) ya its a great program uhm..sooo my images, they dont look anythign liek they did when i previewed, wth...they are all out of order T.T...

Grass?! but thats so boring and basic D: ... Exactly! Great place to start. Besides, can't have a world if its not standin on nothin, right? Ok so i use GraphicsGale, soo thats what this will be made in. I find it to be the best for making pixel art because its grided(that even a word -.-) very nicely ^^ so open GraphicsGale ( if you dont ahve it, go here ---> http://www.humanbala...s/download.html ) and abunch of boxes usually appear, i clear em sept the palette cause honestly, i ahve no idea what they are for -.-... SO! File, New, 32x32, find center and zoom like crazy ^^.Oh, somewhere below where it says window is the picture of a grid, click that..ya..First tut, can you tell -.-.. Ok, now, select a nice green color and just paint bucket that sucker nice and green. This is the start of your new grass. Now, there are many different ways to make grass. Probably the easiest is this: (first image)there are many great reasons to use this technique. 1) its fast 2) its easy 3) its super easy to change the colors for different terrains, ex: image2,, and lastly 4) if your looking for the fastest way to get kicked in the nuts, there you have it. on top of that, just look at the aount of immersion in your game youll have(image 4). captivating, isnt it? Moving on from that, is spray grass it looks better, but, it will need touching up. just go into paint, and paste a green background. select a lighter green and an even lighter green and spray all around. Then take the image into a graphics editing program and cut out a 32x32 pixel block and there you ahve it, looks liek this(image 4) ok it would look like image 4 if windows didnt cheap out on paint and take spray out of windows 7...how do you downgrade on a new o.s. -.- really guys? ok well thats how you do it. anyway, the third way, which i prefer is the line method. SORRY THE IMAGES ARE SO FRIGGIN HUGE D: jsut scroll to the middle and youll see what im talking bout in the tut T.T Go into graphics gale and make a 32x32 grid and paint it green.after selecting your green, move the slider 5 shades lighter and go crazy with the lines. you wont notice to much of a difference, but thats ok. move the slider up 5 more shades and repeat. once more, and good. now, go back to your original color and do the same for the dark. use your lightest color one more time for a touch up and you ahve a background. just a bunch of pixels, right? well, right...select your darkest color and move the slider down about 15 shades. make small lines that move up and to the right/left. make sure to go off the edges and come onto the edges at different hights as well, jsut dont go to crazy. bout 10 lines should do it for now.move the slider down by 10, repeat, down by 10, repeat. Now you should have something like this (image 4) Here, you make a new tileset and import the tile, and spread it all over. youll notice dark and light places that will need fixing.(image 5) youll notice red cirlcles. those are places where its obvious this games on a grid, which were trying to conceal. By adding a few touch ups on the edges, we can hide teh grid. im also going to darken my grass here a bit. The end result is image 6, well defined grass, you know what it is, cant see a noticable grid and with soem flowers and rocks, it will look alot better then it does as straight grass. *isnt an expert* well there you go, i hope that helped! also, to get a sandy look, you can use some yellows and tans for the mid-light base colors, mid darkish greens, then the dark blades like here, for autumn, you can use reds and oranges, hay/ dead grass you can use browns and light yellos/tans, snow covered, sprinkle white pixels around the grass and use blues etc. will post examples later. off to bed for now! straw/hay/dead grass (images 7,8) autumn/sunset grass (images 9,10) snowy grass(images 11,12) sandy grass(images 13,14) if you ahve any more grass types youd like to see here, let me know and ill be happy to make em for ya!

mhm ^^ aslmsot done with teh tut the grass isnt coming out like my originals had -.- but itl get the point across ^^ link ya when im done done! feel free to look but im going to go edit (completely re-do -.-) it so be sure to check back a lil later for the better version, shorter, better grammar, better images, etc...http://www.rmxpunlimited.net/forums/topic/8203-how-to-make-grass/

spammed? what is wrong with you man!*shakes you* im putting it in the class section, il link it here when its done ^^ now i gotta figure out how to do images..it isnt letting me load any T.T

actually what i found super useful is go into gale and select a nuetral color, i used a light green for mine to start. then take it 10 shades darker and use the line tool and draw a ton of random lines so its pretty much more dark then light after, then lessen the lighting by 5 and repeat, do that 4 times, then go back to the darkest setting and do a few outlines to accent the lighter ones, edit a little so that they tile up nicely. if youd liek ill make one step by step to show you ^^ is there a proper place for that o.o or is it ok to do it here? it would be nice to do a tut for peopel :3
