Making charicters

[Morgori]

I've looked at other topics and I still can't get images from paint on to the editers. how do I do it?
Or at least could I get a link to a better editer than eXtendable Wad Editer (XWE?).

I am able to get my graphics into XWE just fine. Have you tried different file formats? 256-color BMP files seem to work best for me. GIF and PNG are supported, but the colors get messed up, so I'd suggest you don't use those for import (despite how great those formats are).

I think it's best to use GIF for the best quality. I don't know about PNG, never tried it.

256 colour bitmaps, FB? I'm able to do it with full-colour ones. XWE just filters out the compatible colours.

 

[Rob]

All bitmap types are supported by XWE. It makes its best guess as to all inappropriate color, and replaces them with supported palette colors. (Actually, it's pretty damned accurate.)

Now, for PNGs and GIFs to work...
Presuming you haven't altered XWE's color remap settings, just use Image > Perform Color Remap. That will force all image types (that XWE supports, of course), into the palette.

Either, your character is missing a few sprites, or there may be a little flaw in it, I'm not sure though.

 

[Rob]

The Wiki specifically deals with that problem.

 

[Morgori]

Is it explained in the character WAD page, or somewhere else? I had a look through and it just seemed like a guide to creating a character. Would it be on a separate article, or didn't I look close enough?

 

[Rob]

The Wiki deals with every aspect of character wads, including lowercase lump letters, which is your specific issue.

 

[Morgori]

Thanks for your help, I've found the problem. I just need to get a better version of XWE to make it lowercase.

 

[Rob]

XWE has a Wiki article also, with an appropriate link to what you need.

???

How do I stop my charicter becoming sonic in 1 player mode?

Uhh, check yer OBJCFG. One of the values should match the "skin" value in yer S_SKIN. Like, somethin' around "skinname".

Thanks

Thanks alot its fixed now.
