Since you guys are discussing about sprites does anybody know if Carbon14's COMMANDER Hud works with 800 x 600? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Edit: Plus! You know what would be cool? Maybe if you hard code it and make the circle in the crosshair spin. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

i am pretty sure he said that it works best with 1024 x 768

Ah! But does it work with 800 x 600? I'm not gonna test it cause I might screw up my game. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Plus: Maybe you should change the color of the crosshair man.

i cant get this to work, it says when i try to load the .bmp to convert it that its not 256 colors...help....im using ps7

ZeroSaber

change the color level back to 256 (colors menu) and compile it with sprite wizard using indexalpha.

enfurno

i see nowhere in the color settings to set it to 256...

enfurno

also, im trying to make parts of this transparent than others, i also want it to be blue, i opend some other crosshair sprites for examples but they are just white, so what im asking is do i just make it white ro do i need to make it the color i want, and also what to i need to set it to in spr wiz?

enfurno

heres the new one i made, the old one wasnt what i wanted so much

r3men4nt

Paste it into MSpaint as a last resort then save it as a 256 color bitmap

enfurno

i got the 256 color thing, i just need to figure out sprwiz and if i need to color my .bmp before i convert it to .spr and what i need to do to keep the transparency

enfurno

here is the .spr recticle. spr i dunno if it works, if it does pls screenshot and post here so i can see...=)

enfurno

here is the whole package, im still not sure if it works...im new

I see you're using PS, so:

To get it with a blue crosshair and varying levels of transparency, you'll want to use a pallette that fades from black to white across 255 colours, with the blue (or whatever colour you want) tacked on at the end. If you draw it in a higher colour mode (RGB/CMYK) and convert it down to indexed colour forcing the colour table I've handily attached here (forced > custom > load in the indexed colour dialogue box), and compile the sprite using sprwiz's indexalpha, you'll get the effect you want.

<b>edit</b>: I ought to add that if you just draw your crosshair in greyscale, having the last colour in the pallette different is all you need to make the whole crosshair be that colour in-game.

Backup whatever sprites it replaces, then test it - if it doesn't look good in 800x600 it's then easy to fix.

WolfWings

Here's a screenshot if you fix the .txt files to show the full sprite, they're only showing the upper-left quarter of it as I post this image: Change the 0 0 32 32 to 0 0 64 64 in your .txt files...
