but if anyone still has any suggestions please post'em I could all the info I can get

[donkeyknob]

a very old member, akira gitaku, used to do this sort of stuff regularly and had a forum where things like that could be requested. i dont remember it, perhaps some of the oldies can help

[the_ghost]

ok I did it (sort of)
its not done yet
its sort of a draft copy I made just for practice (ok so maybe I fucked it up) (the frames got all mixed up and its too fast but I can fix that) (

http://img224.echo.cx/img224/2044/animation24wm.gif

Im gonna re-rip the sprites and redo it

[edit]
I got the animation down
http://img238.echo.cx/img238/1733/animation28eq.gif exactly what I wanted, now if I could find out a way to remove the background...
(btw I used the guide from This thread (http://forums.emulator-zone.com/showthread.php?t=2146&highlight=ripping+sprites)

[donkeyknob]

top job man. im not sure how to remove the background other then to suggest make it transparent?

uhh. yeah thanks I fixed it though. and yeah it is a good guide
(btw the Link is in my first post too)

[PhatPlaya]

I've never really tried ripping sprites, I didnt know it was so easy.
Just tested it out with DKC 2.

http://img103.echo.cx/img103/4541/dksprite7hz.gif

[the_ghost]

hey thats pretty good

I think we did well for first timers

btw how many did that take to make?
mine has about 50

and also I just found out that I cant use the animation I just made as an avatar
becuase of the 100x100 pixel limitation here, but its okay I'll use on the other forum
that I go to they have a 105x150 limitation

[PhatPlaya]

Oh, the DKC one took 126 frames.
My avatar took 53.

[the_ghost]

hey thats a cool avatar
I think Im gonna make a sig with
Ken throwing a Hedoken (is that how you spell it?)

[PhatPlaya]

Close enough .. just replace the first E with a Y, I think..
Now. Im off to sleep.

[the_ghost]

Im off to sleep.
yeah me too, I been up all night


[edit]
I had to make this one before going to sleep

[montpics]

Gouki seemed to be 'moved' a bit after fireball. :rolleyes:

[the_ghost]

Gouki seemed to be 'moved' a bit after fireball. :rolleyes:
by gouki, do you mean Akuma? yeah he slides back after throwing the fireball.
I got these sprites from Steet fighter alpha 2

[montpics]

Yup, Gouki/Akuma is the same person.

Throw away those black ones which 'indicates' Gouki moved. Better that way as it looked. :cool:

[the_ghost]

oh yeah I'll fix it later im too tired to do it now


[off topic]
hey, you got a new av/sig combo, cool
Its about time for me to get a makover too ^ lol

hey I have that game[contra hard corps]
I can make animations for it if you want

No need as I quite satisfied with the current state. ;)

Furthermore, there are dozen banners waiting to be viewed here in this forum. :laugh:

[the_ghost]

oh, yeah I read the thread you made.
Im currently In the process of making a banner for my sig
so It would be nice to know what sizes/dimensions are going to be restricted
before I finish it

any ways back on topic

HELP ok i have zsnesw and i want to make a gif but i have no idea where the f*ck the images are going when i press snapshot/incr frame.where should the images go cuz maybe im looking in the wrong place.

[Zapotech]

Erm... the folder in which ZSNESW.exe is located.


http://mjg.md/tgj

[305soldier]

for some reason it doesn't showup help me fix this.

[Jale]

Go to Config --> Paths.


http://img231.echo.cx/img231/4194/nuevo20rt.jpg

[the_ghost]

use the search feature to find the ones that you already made
start>search

the images get saved with the same name as the game you ripped the sprite from

@ Butters
I never filled out that path and the images always show up in the same directory as my roms

@ 305
have you checked your rom directory?

[305soldier]

thanks guy i got it to work i did what butters suggested and it worked

gracias acere!

Press F1 choose Hide FPS.

You know any way to increase the screenshot size?

i haven't been able to make another gif scince my comp got fucked up im in the process of fixing it hopefully i'll have up to normal speed today.

[the_ghost]

Press F1 choose Hide FPS.

no I dont think you can.

But when your in the animation wizard (animation shop 3) you can choose the size of the animation in pixels.

oh I cant believe that I didnt see the "hide fps" option in the F1 menu, it was right in front of my face the whole time.

Yeah I tried that, but it decreases the quality too much. Hmmm...
