Which one?

[miles305678]

I have made some cool maps,
But I want to make chracters,
Which editor is best for that?

 

[glaber]

a paint program and XWE.

 

[miles305678]

K thanks I'll try that and post here if it works or not.
(I have a great digital art program)

Won't help you in the least.
You're stuck on SRB2's base 256 colors. You can't use anything besides that.

 

[miles305678]

Thanks Now I will not waste time making super good pictures.

Don't forget that character sprites can't be too big... I mean, nearly all of Sonic's sprites are 70x70 pixels big (when including the Cyan that acts as a transparent colour), yet character sprites can be bigger than that as long as it's not by too much...

Just making sure you know that, just in case you don't...

HIRES = 1

I think hires doesn't do the right thing in software mode (it stretches down the sprite so it's exactly the same as it would be in lores), also I think it doesn't work properly in OpenGL.

Just so you know, the exact collision height for a player is 64 units. Sprites normally are a bit higher as leaving a margin is always good. This is just to give you an idea.

 

[Rob]

It works in Software, but not OGL. But that's what PrettySRB2 is for anyways.

 

[Sik]

OK, but if you make a WAD, make it to work in normal SRB2. If it really makes use of a heavy modified mod such as SRB2JTE, OK then, but don't make something that works in a small mod only and not the normal version.

EDIT: also hires sprites take 4 times more space in memory :P

 

[miles305678]

Thanks all I got the program,
I shall try it out now,
BTW I may add some of my zone wads to a download site like megaupload,
I got one thats scorpion castle its awsome,
and I have 13 other zone wads :D
I'll post in the releases section when I do :D


EDIT: I need a sonic wad file, not the plr one,
I need it because I wanted to edit sonic to practice wad making

I think it's the same thing. Just open the "Sonic.plr" in your editing program to check.

 

[miles305678]

Yes but the plr is mixed up it realys on the games file.

The thing is this: The OpenGL bug is just that, a bug. If a 1.09.4a-compatible EXE modification can fix that, then that modification should be used. Especially given that PrettySRB2 fixes a whole bunch of OpenGL bugs, and adds some nice little features to boot.

Not a terribly big deal though. :S

Yes, it's a WAD with a different extension, but there's a little detail... Sonic isn't like any other character. It's default properties are hardcoded in the game. So no S_SKIN and similar, and moreover, its sprites are inside S_START and S_END, something characters normally don't have.

What about trying Tails or Knuckles, who have normal character WADs?

They are in plrs as well... and no s_skin in them either.

Ok I moded the shadow wad but,
When I use it on srb2 the game quites when I hit springs?
and on jte I die when I hit spring lightdash or thok?
they both say its some invalid sprite error and something about
mobj?

Are the last frames lowercase? I mean, the PLAYa and PLAYb ones. The problem you have is a problem that relates to these two frames, where they end up uppercase like the ones that are supposed to be the uppercase ones...

I hope you get what I mean... I'm not very good at explaining things...

We already said they're WADs with a different extension -_- Through I'm quite sure Tails and Knuckles do have S_SKIN and such. Gotta check that :/
