Working with portraits

[jimmyjw88]

Oh...i see.
So why the colors all messed up when import to shishi?
Is it because shishi revert the colors?
So if you paste a nice color portrait, it will revert at shishi to ugly and messed up portrait; but if you paste a revert color portrait, it will revert at shishi to nice and perfect portrait?
Is that it or...?

[jimmyjw88]

Well....i feel really stupid right now. Lol ^^
Such simple message and yet i can't get it =.=
"There are some colors weren't at FIRST 16 COLORS PALLETES"
Such simple message and i don't get it =.=
Really stupid man. Ahahaha ^^
Anyway, thanks alot Cid ^^
Now left portrait. Maybe smash can explain to me. Hehe =p

[jimmyjw88]

Hi....I have some questions about portrait....
Erm...Smash...

Where do you get that red circle palletes and where do you get that blue circle palletes?

Also, at the green circle, what do you mean by that? Is it replace them or reorder them?

I'm really sorry about this...

Also, i read through a few times about that mini tutorial you post but i still don't quite get it.

First, you said get the mug's color starting from 129 to 143.

So is it this?

And then you said get colors from 1-15 of the portrait....

So is it this? It is the portrait i get from sprite section.

see above

Also, the images arent showing! I would recommend using something like photobucket for image hosting. Spend a little time and Im sure you can figure it out no problem   This will help people trying to read the forum. Good job.

EDIT:  

[jimmyjw88]

Lol. I saw them perfectly. 0.o
Well, i guess i'd better do what you said if i really want people to help in this. ^^
Thanks ^^

[jimmyjw88]

Well, can you see them now? ^^
I posted in photobucket and copied the links.
Hope you can see them.

[CidIII]

Don't worry about what Smash posted, you don't need to do what he said.

[jimmyjw88]

Then can you help me Cid?
On portraits.....Sorry...need your help once more.
And thanks again for sprite palletes thingy ^^
Now I know how to change colors that i want.

[Smash]

What I posted way back was how to get the mug look ugly for it to look good on shishi.. Rather inessesary, if you're not making it all custom.
For recolors, you already have the mug colored with sprite colors, so no need to worry.

Now, got any more problems left?

[jimmyjw88]

Yea. I know but i don't understand how you make it look ugly like that....and the above images are examples if i wanted to paste the portrait in.
Lets just say that knight sprite don't have the portrait and i wanted to add the knight portrait in.
So how can i do that, like what you did, make it to look ugly so that it'll look nice at shishi?

Just like you had it on your post.

Get mug colors, then get sprite colors, then ON the mug only, replace those colors(129-143) with the ones of the sprites (1-15) in order.

I aligned the colors in lines on the tut to show which ones you should replace, with all those arrows.

[jimmyjw88]

Oh...i see. Ok Smash ^^
Thanks. I'll try to do it. If still can't get it, then i'm quite stupid. Lol
Well, bit of trial and error won't hurt. Lol
By the way, did your problem fixed? Or still....?

[Zozma]

man id really like to see a finished version of this, vanya was doing it i think but..

[jimmyjw88]

Yea. It's really nice.
But i think its pending right now.
I too, would really like to see a finished version of this ^^

Lol...Smash, I still can't figure it out how to make the portrait look nice at spritesheet but i guess that doesn't really matter, as i don't really know how to custom made a portrait. Haha.

I was trying to make Cecil portrait but it turns out ugly. =.=
So, i guess i don't have to bother about portraits anymore.
Anyway, thanks for your tutorial ^^

[jimmyjw88]

Hey Smash,

Although i still can't figure it out how you do it but i manage to find another way of making the portrait looks perfect ^^

Check it out ^^

Anyway, thanks again for your help. I'm not saying that what you taught me didn't work; but it's me who is dumb, that don't know how to make it work =p
Anyway, i really really appreciate all your helps, Smash ^^
Now, i finally understand how palletes for sprites and portraits works, thanks to you and CidIII.
Thank you so much guys ^^
