Duck and Cover

Actually about 100. Mostly guns of all types. Id be happy to post them somewhere if someone provides me a link, email addy of ftp.

Some notes on the files though. Very few are still real guns, I made a lot of changes to pictures I found on the internet, reclouring, adding scopes and what not. Also the images are quite a bit larger than the ones in game, detail goes all to hell if its not like 130x 40ish, so almost all of the images are that size.

Send them to me as long as the file size is not too huge ( over 500k). Otherwise send them in small packs.

There are a few tricks to maintaining good resolution and staying away from the jaggies. Do everything in RGB color mode. The very last thing you should do is to change it to Indexed color mode. That seems to help alot. I'll try to get them up on my site as soon as possible.

Ditto, only my limit is about 800k. I think...

post them here, i want to see. (if you can take the time)

Okies I sent most of my pistols to the email addies given. Let me know if they are any good, and any tips on making them better would be appreciated, most have been redone 3 or 4 times now as I get better with photoshop. If you like a gun and think you can do a better, different one I usually have the originals, just ask me. One caveat is you have to send the finished sprite to me though =) I think I have literally every gun picture on the internet now if anyone is looking for something in particular..esp if it was in a movie.

If you guys think I'm on the right track and want more I'll take the time and zip up the other rifles and such.

If anyone has a project that needs some sprite or entities work give me a holler on the board and I might be able to help. One day I'll bother to learn scripting and tiles, just not as much fun atm.

by the way I am looking for a SMG, machine gun in bullpup config with a Beta-C mag. Ive seen a bad azz Steyr with one, but the image was not good enough to convert.

I've posted the sprites on my site.

As I said in my email, seraglio, I think those sprites look DAMN good. Keep 'em coming!

OK, Seraglio I have them up on my site too (Check my sig). I even added a few extras like a poster of all 36 guns to help people find the right one. I deleted Lara's gun because it was virtually the same as another. There was also another that is almost the same but I kept it to make it even. Send more if you've got them.

Pistols.jpg Feel free to include it in your zips if you want MV.

Damn yummy ones...
Thanks seraglio!

Wow thanks for doing that bitmap, makes it much easier. Actually wish I had that for all my images, cant remember whats what..is there a quick way to view all sprites in a directory, y'know without opening them in spray?

Soon as I have this scripting problem with triggers licked I'll get back to sending you guys more sprites, got zillions of rifles smg's ammo etc to send. Youll probly get some dupes, ive got like 5 versions of each, different sizing, color etc. I keep all variations, thats why it takes a bit to sort them out.

I used redviewer to export the TGA image from each of the sprites and then batch processed them in photoshop to convert them to gifs. Arranged them and added text. There is no real easy way to do it but that wasn't too bad. Maybe an hours worth of work.

Nifty pic, JJ86. I think I'll post that on my site as soon as I get home... from... work...

at least you have a job!

btw, good work on those seraglio.

Hey, we're always hiring. Bear in mind it's Wal-Freakin'-Mart.

Also bear in mind that some people who work there (not me) spell it Wall-Mart. That's the mental fortitude of some of "us."

*cough* Anyway, I'll post JJ86's pic on my Hub after the DaC server switch, when I'll have some of my own screenies to post (my new thing -- posting screenies in news updates instead of just saying stuff).

Just sent the SMG pack to JJ and max. Enjoy, some of my faves in there. ANd yea they are a little colorful but I thought that the FOT artwork was just too bland, guess i'm too artsy fartsy for a post nuclear holocaust artist hehe. Let me know what you think.

get a pic of all of them up, i'm eager to see more good work.

Ok ,they are up in the same place with a picture as before:

SMG Picture

Also I guess I messed up the descriptions in the pistol picture so see the updated one for changes.

nice, make some rifles! good job

I especially like the Uzi Taclite. That's sweetness.

saburo and that are the coolest IMO.

and the 45calsmg, aksmg, and hk53 look especially like they would fit with the game's other guns. (appearence wise)

Thanks for the feedback guys. Helps me know what people are looking for. Do you guys prefer 'real world' guns or fantasy mock ups?

Strapon if you are interested the last 3 guns you mention are real. The 45smg is an american 180 (actually 22caliber hornet), the AKSMG is an AKU94 or one of several clones, the hk53 is exactly that.

I like the diablo sub and hk g3a9 best personally. Can you tell I like drum magazines? I wish high ammo capacity meant jack in the game. 2AP reloads SUX, should at least be configurable.

How did the '44 SMG' turn out? Ive lost maybe 10hrs of my life to that thing and never gotten it to turn out just right. Anyone have any better images of the unreal tournament guns? Still looks like a drawing...since it is.

Ill get to rifles soon. I like them less cuz they dont fit in the UI well. It has a 2x1 ratio, twice as long as high. Good for pistols, but rifles look small since they are much longer than high. If you make them diagonal they look like chainsaws they are so jagged. Gonna work on em some before I submit.

Keep the feedback coming. Are they too colorful? Its so much fun to play with photshops colors! In game images are absolutely bland.
