Final Fantasy Hacktics

Since I've never taken the time to learn proper spriting, I've been thinking of ways to contribute to this part of the site, and I think I came up with something I can do to save other people time.

If you would like me to make a video and upload it (to FFH's YT or elsewhere) of your sprite in action, send it to:

Voldemort@ffhacktics.com OR Post the .SPR file here. If you send an e-mail please post here so I know to check.

And I will upload a video of it in action, so you can show other people your sprite doing stuff instead of just frames.

Here's some I've done already:

Cadet by Kagebungie:
Warrior by Lijj:
Valkyrie by Kagebungie:

I'll make it use skillsets with varied animations so you can see everything the sprite is capable of, and if any changes need to be made.

I made the warrior and it's Kagebunji not Kagebungie. Otherwise thanks for this contribution. It'd be nice to see a bunch of these up!

fixed, sorry... for some reason I thought it was Twinees'

about Kage, I always call him KageBUNGIE (http://origin.arstechnica.com/journals/thumbs.media/bungie_logo.jpg)

Hmmm can you make some for the new Werewolf and Titan? I'm pretty interested in monster sprites these days .

I second Izirudo's suggestion.

Dude, Voldemort, this is awesome of you. I mean, I don't sprite but I greatly appreciate this, and I hope all the other spriters here do too. These are top notch vids and certainly the coolest way to see some gorgeous sprites in action.

umm mav, i hate to be the bearer of bad news......but........viewtopic.php?f=18&t=6241 (http://www.ffhacktics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=6241)

Wow... how come is is so easy to get banned? I mean, come one it's only been 3 weeks since I joined and I saw Jon and Voldemort got...

Lately the site is gooing a bt crazy. I won't explain eveything, view some topics and read, and you will catch on Izirudo.

Yeah, I saw that after I posted this topic, Strife. Thanks though. What a shame, maybe someone else will follow in his footsteps and give us a couple decent demo vids.

Mav, I pray NO ONE goes in his footsteps really. I thought after the R999 incident he learned something. But he left deleting his work from FFH and OTHERS people vidoes and work. It was fuckin immature, I thought he would leave and don't give a fuck about it, like Asmo said "have some dignity", and that is damn right.

Well, since Arch got banned, and I did like the concept he was doing, I think I might follow suite and offer to do videos of people's sprites with various animations. Post your sprites here, or email them to ArthusPaladin@hotmail.com, and I'll attempt to get a video of them up and running on my channel, and link it here.

If this is breaking any rules, please don't ban me over it, just let me know and I'll kill the topic/my posts.

Thanks in advance people. ^_^

I'll start with the sprites already suggested in this topic, if people have no problem with it.  ^___^ I'll post soon!

Edit: Here's the first one, Werewolf. Let me know how I did. Not too proficient in hacking yet, so I can't exactly give him all kinds of new abilities to demonstrate, but give me criticism (positive please), and I'll do my best to improve.

Not bad, tbh the Sacred skillset kinda works for the werewolf.

And... finished another one. Gonna do Titan after this, probably not tonight though.

Things changed, I have time tonight... I've tested twice, but it tends to glitch up on many different monster sprites/skillsets.  Anybody have a good recommendation for Titan? Or will I have to hack further to make it not glitch up?

did you use sp2?

I'm going to sound like a total noob when I ask what that is. Sorry... I'm new to this hacking thing, and while I have some stuff down, I don't have all of it.

Sure, everyone was new at once, its no sweat! Read kage's posts on this link. Also i saw the werewolf mess up because you did not do this, but it was only one time.

viewtopic.php?f=16&t=405&start=260 (http://www.ffhacktics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=405&start=260)

Thank you very much GS.  Finished the recording (even found some pixels out of place for the last clip, to help Kagebunji fix it).  I'll be uploading it in a few minutes.

Anybody have any other Sprites they want put into video form, to show off their animations and whatnot?  My slate is clean!

Titan Update!

I have no Life, TONBERRY UPDATE:

cool tonberry, looks like he wobbles a bit which means i think his frames arent all alligned quite right...

He is wobbling, Zoz. I saw that too. But since this happens only on attack frames etc. wich takes less than a second, I decided to leave it. All the frames that are important are alligned correctly. Besides messin with monster sheets is still a mystery, Melon didn't made a viewer in ShiShi, if it were there, I would allign it all 100% alright. Irony is, my net got capped, and I cannot watch videos. Even moderating is taking a shitload of time....

Nice vids, man. Well aside from getting a monster viewer in ShiShi, this is a great way to check out the alignment, Kage. The monster sprites all look pretty good, but they all look strange standing still.

Any more sprites people wanna see in action? Just post 'em here or email 'em.  I'll take care of it when I can...

I'll bite, do one with my spankin' new Dante sprite (http://ffhacktics.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=6079)

You've got it boss.  One Dante Video coming up today.  I'll be getting on my laptop in about an hour or so... then I'll drum up a Skillset and whatnot for him.  I assume the .SPR file is in the link you gave me?

Well the BMP is there, the SPR is in the submissions thread

Do me a favor too - give my Crusader a shot, buddy. It's also available in the submission thread.

excellent, sprite videos

If you could explain how to post those damn youtube videos like you and Arch did, I would update the main post. I hate this way of using YT.

Okay, finished the Dante video. His sprite has a glitch whenever he's charging spells or abilities... with his face.  It's shown at the end of the video below.


Crusader will be my next target... any requests for after that?

Basically. you use the SPOILER tag, put the YOUTUBE tag inside the spoiler tag, and the YOUTUBE VIDEO LINK inside the YOUTUBE tag.  And thus, it works.

hmm.. You could 'film' the Viking. Maybe even preview the abilities from Newtype or Parted Ways..  Eternal could possibly give you the abilities, maybe ask him in chat. Alas, any generics I've made would be neat to see posted next.

Wow, thanks Alaris! I would never have found that any other way =P Strangely enough, I remember browsing through every single frame in Shishi multiple times and never finding a single glitch. Does that mean Shishi doesn't show all the frames the game uses?

EDIT: Yup, I just breezed through all anims and frames in Shishi, and couldn't find that glitch anywhere. Weird. I dunno how to fix it.

other sprites? why not show the older ones that were never shown in sample video?

From my Viewing of the Video for the Dante Sprite it looks to me as if it were set with the wrong Shishi Sprite Type. Trying Setting it to Type 2 And Watch the Arms again and see if the Glitch still shows up

That was my bad, and you're right.  It looks fine in Type2 mode as far as I can tell.

Alaris is still learning, hopefully there will be no problems next video.

Hmm, new emulator and recording program made this video pretty much a botch.  But for now, I'll upload.  I'll probably figure out the settings and re-record it soon...

That is an excellent sprite in motion! Great design, wonderful portrait, can't wait to use it!

If you want, can you do one of Link? But change the music to Zelda theme (so mute it and add in the Zelda music afterwards)?

Edit: Sorry, my bad, I just saw it. Thanks for posting it! Man, I didn't know how cool the "sing" pose actually looks, haha. Please edit it and say that it is the Link video.

all this will be erased with the rollback jon, dont bother
