Cyan~Fire · Posted: Sun Sep 07, 2003 2:17 pm Post subject: Shipset Rotation, please

Hey I hate to ask you guys to do this, but I don't have any kind of serious image editing software (except MS Photo Editor which doesn't do degree rotations).

If you could rotate all these ships (and the turret however that's rotated) that would be great.
If someone has PhotoShop, I think this is possible: with ship 7 could a be not-rotated and b be rotated all in one, to make a spinning turret effect (like MG CTF).

Also: Is wa2 the only type of sound possibly used by SS? Can't use mp3, etc, huh? I really want this 1minute victory file but it's 10mb lol.

Edit: Oops, here're the files

U can find a MP3->wav convertor, but even then it's huge.. then you may want to decrease the quality of the wav after you've converted it that'll cut the size down..

There was a 1.5/6 meg wav file for flag win, but i got it down to 900 kb, then w/ lvz it was 750kb soo it is possible to size it down some...

Yeah by cutting down the actual loop, i got it down to 2mb and I just said wth and put it in optional.

I also put files on above post.

I'll get to it later if nobody else does

You can drastically down sample your sound files in windows sound recorder also. Load your sound file and then do a file->properties ->Format Conversion ->Playback and press "convert Now" then save it. As an example it turned a 208kb wav file to 38kb.

And is your background going to be white? Just wondering because your ship backgrounds are white.

Image editor:

Every bit as powerful as photoshop, for ~1/billionth the price. Only hitch is you have to figure out how to use the thing, but thats what online tutorials are for.

Heres ship 1 ( made a few small changes including the shadow on the right side. the turret looked lop sides after rotation ) and also the ship is now 50x50, only to make your unit rotate properly. Someone else may post better ones

Ship 4

ship 5

WarFan · Posted: Sun Sep 07, 2003 8:24 pm Post subject:

Ship 6 - 2 variations to this ship. Not sure if that is an antenna or a barrel. If its a barrel it wont look as if the bullets are coming from it in the game unless its centered.

Ship 8

WarFan · Posted: Sun Sep 07, 2003 8:37 pm Post subject:

Gonna work on ship 7, no guarantees on this one but Ill give it a shot. Akai may have better luck at this one than me, all of them for that matter!

Wowee thanks for all your help WarFan!
Especially fixing Ship6.

WarFan · Posted: Mon Sep 08, 2003 2:40 am Post subject:

Finally, heres ship 7 - the stationary unit with moving turret. This one was kinda tough but turned out pretty cool

Thanks!
I got GIMP, so I guess I'll take care of my own graphics needs from now on. Thanks Dr. Brain for recommending it.

Dr Brain · Posted: Mon Sep 08, 2003 5:20 pm Post subject:

Anytime.

Cyan~Fire · Posted: Mon Sep 08, 2003 6:25 pm Post subject:

WarFan · Posted: Mon Sep 08, 2003 6:28 pm Post subject:
