Sans Gaster Blast 2 (Discontinued)

[SeanTG246]

Let's be honest, this was going to happen eventually.
And I might as well finish what I started.

I don't know how to begin a thread, so I guess I'll just begin with this: If you're in the SRB2 Community Discord, you may have seen a Sans wad which is basically a sprite rip of Sans' overworld sprites(If you've seen any Sans wad at all, one by me, and one by someone else), I've been working on sprites for him since the beginning of the year. I don't have too much done.

Mainly because I kept restarting because they're either too small, not good enough, or the angles were just weird.

Welp, time for some gifs I suppose.

This is just what I have for now, I'll show updates for him whenever I can.

I don't know if it's just my computer, but I can't see any of your images or gifs.

 

[SeanTG246]

I think I fixed it, not too sure though.

The hype meter is rising... First Blaze, then Mario, NOW SANS? I can't take all these soon gonna be awesome characters! AHHHHHHHHHH

 

[GLide KS]

Wow, looks excelent, I was about to make Sans (not sprite rip) in srb2 too.

 

[SeanTG246]

To keep or not to keep...
EDIT: Not to keep, I'll make bones appear around Sans instead. Gaster Blasters will be saved for Sans' match weapon(s).

 

[Sketch]

Pretty good progress. I can see your using the original sprites as placeholders. I hope for Sans he actually has some special abilities, like he can use bone to lock onto enemies and attack, or maybe use his gaster blasters as a special attack, or a double jump when charged.

 

[SeanTG246]

Welp, I'll just show off his new select pic.

 

[SANICBOOM644]

You should try to make him chuckling or something.

 

[SeanTG246]

I smell second color support...

That's right, he'll be able to use secondcolor. Of course he doesn't immediately have support for it, only 5% of his sprites are done. I just changed the pants to red so you get an idea of what it'll look like.

 

[GreenKnight9000]

WOW!!!
You've come a long way buddy, i think i also found a way to change the super colour.
Take a look at Sonic2glow.lua and you can change the numbers (which correspond to the color the super form cycles through, like knuckles goes from pink to peach to white then peach then pink) and then port the script into the wad, so if we used Sonic2glow's Knuckles super colour, Sans' jacket would be pink, get it?

 

[SeanTG246]

Looking into the lua GreenKnight sent, I tried giving Sans custom super colors and...

I accidently found a way to make a character flash colors.
So get to those Super Sonic wads- kno

 

[SeanTG246]

Eh, I got Sans some custom super colors now.

 

[SeanTG246]

Okay was originally going to only make Sans flash cyan but

I forgot about that damn eye
He now flashes the colors of his famous "bad time" eye

 

[Sketch]

How about when Super, Sans does have the bad time eye. I'd like that combined with the Cyan super color, as Sans going from Blue to Yellow looks strange.

 

[GLide KS]

How did you make custom supercolors?

 

[SeanTG246]

How did you make custom supercolors?

I looked into the Sonic2Glow lua from Lat' that GreenKnight mentioned, and kinda just looked at what was doing what by testing without certain parts of the coding. I was only able to figure out how to make a character flash 2 colors when super.

I know this sounds dumb and time consuming, but if you want a WAD done well, you have to take the long route, just copy the sprites of "Super" Sans but add the "Bad-Time" eye in the sprites also make sure that you choose the color that can change changes color (i think it's green)

 

[SeanTG246]

"here we go."

 

[GreenKnight9000]

"here we go."

Nice!
but it seems the bad time eye swaps sides, it may be complex to fix that, as that would require more spriting (if you're going to do that, i HIGHLY recommend backing up that wad, i just copy+paste and i get a copy for me to use incase i mess up) or i'm just being REALLY nitpicky :P
