simple custom sprite Created 20 years ago2004-09-07 14:25:15 UTC by Crusader_bin

I want to put a sprite in my map, with single word "Binek". It should be easy, but anyway i don't know how to do it, so please redirect me to a place where i can find all what i need to do that (or just write it). thx

Search the VERC's utitilies page, it links to some sprite creators. Just search a bit for the necessary info but I think most is self-explanatory.

goodie I've downloaded sprite wizard! It kicks ass! Thx for info

but, errr, what color do i need to set in paint to make part of my sprite invisible? 255 t red blue and green? ugh?

I believe totally black. Give that a try.

Oh, and I found Sprite Explorer 2.0 to be very usefull: it allows you to browse sprites (inlcuding those in .pak files) and it's very easy to create sprites with, too. Search for it on Google.

i've set it to black ( all 0) and... BAH! I have a black sprite with sign on it I've herd it must be blue or something but i dont know :/

Anyway you can see it [URL=http://img21.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img21&image=SpriteTest0000.jpg] .:HERE:. [URL] It should have a red letters and nothing in background. In 2 sprites (1,2 and 3) It IS red but have black back ground. In 3 sprite it is just ok, but it is white :/ Anyway i can use it, but do you know how to make it red?

Anyway you can see it .:HERE:. is fixed

huh? I don't understand those errors, sorry, anyway http://img21.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img21
&image=SpriteTest0000.jpg NOW it must be ok. If admin ever see this, plz delete previes posts

Not OK... I'd say you get a webhost of your own, much better...

And the black background is probably caused by the render mode you've set your env_sprite to. Experiment with the different modes and FX and see what happens.

I need some sleep now too, yeah.

Good night.

I just made all those 3 sprites you can see (1, 2 and 3) using diffrent options in spr wizard (1,2 and 3, 4 is no transparency)

hey! email me a pic of what you want and ill make you a kick ass sprite that works fine in 10min. i can also make it so it only spins horizontally, vertically, or just stays still... rat808hawaii@hotmail.com
also tell me what you want it to do if its an animated sprite.

What RenderMode is your env_sprite?

Sprites should be Additive or Glow in most cases to work properly.

well, i want it to just be normal, non animated sprite. I want it to look just like this white, but i want it red lol

do what rabid said and set the rendermode to additive on the sprite with the red words... that should work.

Set the one with the black background to
ADDICTIVE
128

Unbreakable? lol i thought you were dead, no?

It doesn't have to be 128. You can experiment with the additive values to find one that you like.

Set the one with the black background to
ADDICTIVE
128

Did you do that on purpose?
Sure, mapping can be addictive, but the rendermode is still called 'additive'.
Which comes from adding something. The color values of the sprite are added to what's behind it, so it results in a glow effect.
Most people misunderstand it as a 'the brighter, the more opaque', which is just wrong.

http://img88.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img88&image=SpriteTest0001.jpg <= that's the effect Thx for help, but eh, i feel stupid I've always used additive for teleports sprites and now i forgot that i should always use additive thing. Thx for help again.
BTW why there is no tutorials about this?

Speaking of sprites, anyone notice cs 1.5 doesn't properly render sprites on some maps--for me, cs_bikini trees are all jacked up--but works perfectly in 1.6? Possibly is a open-gl thing, because i've also noticed in my own maps water doesn't look right in 1.5, but again, fine in 1.6. Has anyone had these problems?

They're models and transparency in models is not supported by non-Steam games without extra DLLs.

Yes Crusade Im still alive and kickin--(god, that makes me sound old..lol forget i said that)

Ya the summer came and I could'nt get online often so i couldnt get ahold of you----plus something awful happened thank god i backed up all my files-----I got a virus and it completley erased my harddrive-- I got upset and trashed my laptop----Now I have to wait untill i get a new computer to start mapping again-- so yep, About the mod Blind Justice well It died-- So I started a new mod called EQUILIBRIUM,
-(you should watch the movie to get an understanding) Im going to have to change the dlls dramatically too, I need to take all the aliens out and put in a whole lot of different barneys(need to be coded)with different attitudes and skins. (They'll be my rebels) and I have to also add scientist-(change them to normal civilians that wont post a threat)

but ya i can't continue mapping untill i get a new computer. It Sucks.

Thank you. I should probably just delete 1.5 as i've noticed my maps seem to run better in 1.6 anyway. I just can't bring myself to do it.

Well i can help with skinning those rebels and civilians, and not only with that How can i contact you? Same e-mail? messanger? I don't wan't to trash this thread anymore...

Easily fix that with render mode: additive and render amount: 255.

THX a lot!

Umm same e-mail- but like i said- I have'nt got my laptop anymore so its enabling me to do anything---- You could reskin some models--- I already reskinned the human_grunts and put them on a cd-- I'll load it up in a zip file and send them to you, I can only send what I've got on my backup cds, so I do'nt know---... um well did you see equilibrium?
If not you should to give you a better Idea of what I'm planning to do, I have to get some coded models as well such as a double handgun,
First there'll be the normal 2 handguns
then another weapon would be the same only instead of semi, it would be automatic, and a third that would replace the crowbar---
same guns only held the other way so you can smack the guy in the back of the head- for a one hit one kill..... anyhow you should really rent the movie--from blockbuster or someplace like that..

Just Renewing Where's crusader bin???
