How hard would it be?

Post them here!

You mean recoloring? If yes, then it's damn easy.

Adding new palettes and editing existing palettes takes no time at all, provided you have the right program. Creating new palettes from scratch is doable. But if you're asking about replacing sprites all together, that too is pretty simple with Shishi.

[ArkDelgato]

It would be more of a tedious job, that's a lot of new sprites to make.

[mav]

Ah, I should clarify: replacing generics with completed sprites is pretty simple; designing those sprites, their palettes, and their portraits is time-consuming.

[GeneralStrife]

Well maybe just new pallettes colors.....I'm kinda bored of the old ones....i should have worded it better.

[Kagebunji]

Here is example of how easy it is:

[GeneralStrife]

Kool. How do you do it? I mean I've been recoloring a few things in paint but it takes FOREVER.

[Kagebunji]

GraphicsGale, you can recolor everything in no time.

[GeneralStrife]

Sweet, time to get that. Lol. Thank you for the info.

[mav]

All you really need is Graphics Gale: go to the palette and replace the colors as necessary, save the BMP, import the sprite and its new palettes over the existing sprite and you're done. Although it may take some time, it's not difficult--I've been toying around with the idea of changing out palettes myself...but I'm lazy.

How about changing this topic into place where everyone can post their remakes of jobs? It may turn out well, btw here is another one:

[GeneralStrife]

Sounds awesome ill rename the topic and start on one.

[Kagebunji]

Look! Old Wiegraf!

[GeneralStrife]

hehe. Is there a way to swap colors with graphics gale other then color fill?
I don't see how to just swap the pallettes...makes me feel stupid..

[mav]

Hah! Old man Wiegraf looks pretty awesome, in my opinion.

I might do a recolor of the Male Thief later this week; I'll be sure to post it.

Yes! Please do remember to set the color depth to 16 or 256, in order to swap them.
I think you could try dragging the color. haha.

Mav, since *i think* we need a dark knight in Mercenaries,
can do you a recoloring for the Female Knight to make her a Dark Knight?
Thanks!

AuraDragon made some really awesome generic Holy and Dark knight sprites, so check that out, the sprites for the female versions are towards the end of the thread.

[MiKeMiTchi]

pretty nifty. Thanks!

[mav]

All we need for AuraDragon's sprites (which are phenomenally gorgeous) are a couple portraits and then we'll be set. Maybe palettes too--I dunno...
