(OneoftheLost) p.m me if you want a prerelease on the sprites that I'm finnished with
OMG yes. I have risen from the dead to bear your children.
TWICE.
Ok but in all seriousness, For the background any chance you can add NS-Community Pack below the Starcraft logo? I like it!
BTW I am working on extracting the sounds from my starcraft CD... where whould I put them to make them the background music at the background screen???
The file I got extracted the wrong sound files, basically ALL the other sound files, but none of the music files.....Ive looked all over my Starcraft Directory for naught.
The building sprites should be re-done a bit more, they still seem like they came out of MS paint or something. Just a little pixel pushing and some good shading would match the health bars with the ones in SC. If you send it over to me, I could stick a faint glow around it and just overall clean it up to look really nice?
EDIT: oloffe, do you mind sending me your sprite sets? I would like to work on the sprites with you, I'm pretty good with photoshop and what not...together, we could make your sprites really nice looking. Or I could just help you with the sprites you haven't completed yet?
the building looks pixelated because I wanted tem to look like the SC icons. So I shrinked them first to the same size as the SC icons (32x32) then i resized them to 50x50. But maby they can be redone..
Sure, add me on MSN messenger (if you have one, PM youre address)
I was talking about the sprites that indicate the health bars of the buildings, the build icons you have for the commander mode are completely fine! Actually, I was thinking along the same lines as you of pixelating the building icons. Um, I guess just send my whatever you've got done, and whatever you don't have done. I could work on the sprites you don't have right now too. Finish what work you've already started on though, because I not sure it would look consistent if I made a few icons that looked different from your own...
Okey, missunderstood.. yea I can send you the build sprite, it is quite pixelated in the corners.
I dont know which Alien sprites that are allready has been made. OneoftheLost wrote that he have the Zerg sprites.
But we need all sprites replaced <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" /> Mabey working on them to? or do you want to make them?
HAH! That is a trick question, everyone knows fruitbats are mammals!
err...Sprites...
Ok so in summary, Yes I have some alien sprites. Actually All I really have is the Alien Menu, its completely re-done Zerg style, I can send it your way if you want. As for the sprite that shows the building progress, that could be redone.
BTW your building progress sprites turn me on. They freakin rock. The Comm icons all rock as well.
Now this pack is damn near complete. Just need the final sprites, a couple buildings, the Gauss finished, and this stuff will be in the publics' hands.
<b>Keep up the good work all!</b>
(Cause we all know I havnt done a damn thing, well except play test everything <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" /> )
Uh, anything else I could do besides the b_health and b_build sprites? I can do significant sprite and texture work...
Small Problem: In Starcraft, when a building was selected, it would display a green circle (regardless whether it was completely built or not). For the NS building sprites, do you want me to use a seperate color circle for building, and a green circle for a completed building? Or do you just want to keep both building and completed building circles green? I'm just concerned it might produce confusion when people can't easily figure out if a building was complete or not...
EDIT: My E-mail is Tsaiyao@yahoo.com send me whatever stuff I could maybe help with
Thanks for feedback <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />. Yea, please send me the Alien sprites, want to check which sprites that is done.
Messed with the Starcraft expantion logo and this is the result. <a href="http://img226.imageshack.us/my.php?image=logora8.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img226.imageshack.us/img226/3905/logora8.th.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" /></a> I put the same logo under the StarCraft text on the BG. (requested by OneoftheLost) <a href="http://img291.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bgvd0.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/170/bgvd0.th.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" /></a>
Btw I think I got some music for the main menu. Its the theme from the first level, dunno if you guys want or not. Its the Terran theme. Couldn't find the regular SC music. Put the file in and I will test tonight.
You can also just replace all the ns_ambient music files with SC music. Actually, you put more than six music files, any name you want, into the folder, and the game will automatically play those music files randomly throughout the game. However, you do need to name one file as ns_titlescreen if you need it to play on game start.
Also, how are you with Marine Vox sounds? I think I have huge collection of Marine sound files like Catalyst, Weapon Pick-up, Communication, Orders, commander screen...etc.
Im not a complete nub, I did rename the file, , the title music works great, as for the vox sounds, they are in the Starcraft soundpack, so yes I have them.
As for the ambience sounds, didn't think of that, thanks for the idea, Ill grab some more starcraft music and put them in, if you have any preferences let me know.
Eh, I dunno, just pile all the Terran and Zerg music into the folder and let the computer handle it. The only thing that annoys me though is that the music hardly ever plays, unless you use scripts or increase music frequency...which is why I'll just drop this thing in here cause I have nothing else to say.

Drop that into your config and bind a key to "music_toggle" to be able to turn the music in the NS Music Folder on or off whenever you want.
That can be done <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" /> I have allready removed "Team resources:" text.. going to replace it with just a vespine gas icon.
Going to take a look on the sprites you sent me this evning.
I had allready made my own alien cursors ^_^ didnt know that they where in the alien sprite pack <img src="http://img306.imageshack.us/img306/3576/alienccq4.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />
And it will look like this in the game: <img src="http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/8399/ultraliskuw0.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />
had I get this right? Skulk = Defiler Gorge = Drone Lerk = Mutalisk Fade = Hydralisk Onos = Ultralisk
YEah that snake thingie in your image is definatly a Defililer, but the Skulk got replaced with one of these: <img src="http://www.sclegacy.com/features/ghost/unit-zergling.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />
Here is a Zergling sprite <img src="http://www.hvrsd.k12.nj.us/Timberlane/students/Dcooper/images/Zergling.gif" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />
This is the defiler <img src="http://xgm.ru/pics/news/373_2.jpg" border="0" alt="IPB Image" />
Oj, thats a small problem to change that <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
