Final Fantasy Hacktics

Ha! I never said anything about giving up, so no worries

QuoteThis is hopeless...I am a bad spriter...

This sounded like you are giving up. But if you are not, then it's good. Post what you have so far

Haha! Using my own despair against me! It is true though, my shading is terrible, please don't laugh, I can hardly see any differences, once I finish this one, I will change the colors to Rofel blues too and post it. Also, I may make a different red version...the one I posted before is garbage. This is only done up to the 2nd row somewhere, but once I do the first 2 rows and wounded/dead, it is all copy and paste downhill from there.

Don't worry about getting this done fast; just work at your own pace. Leave the palettes till the end too, if you can; if you're busy and no one else plans to finish the palettes, I can get 'em done for you in a couple minutes. Just take your time and you'll be happy by the end of all this. The only reason I asked for an updated version was because I thought Smash mentioned completing the sprite (he works incredibly fast, so I wasn't too surprised). I see your new version, it's just hard for me to tell what was changed...

Good luck, and keep up the good work.

Thanks Mav. Fact: it is hard to postion the powder bag in the back views. The second on top row (the forward-side view) is actually exactly the same as Smash's except the almost teal color of Rofel has remained the original blue of Agrias. But everything else (new hat, darkest purple/blue changed to darkest brown, black lines for legs, ect.) remain just as Smash guidelined them for me. However, perhaps someone with more skill should finish this up before I screw it up. If you or Smash or anyone really wants to, I would rather you do it. Not because I am lazy or something, because I came this far, but like I said- now I am talking in circles. I. Suck. At. Shading. Thanks to everyone who takes an interest still now in the Cannoneer

What has changed? The only difference I can see is powder bag.

Look at it zoomed up: same as Smash's, only my blue and not Rofel's.

Only that one frame, am I correct?

No no, well I tried up to the second row second one. All the ones with a powder bag. I know it looks like total crap, but I tried to incorporate Smash's to mine, probably a big mistake...

I think I will just zoom in and look myself

I will try to finish this today, my last free day



Edit #2: I downloaded Graphics Gale, and I can see why you guys use this! Very nice, especially that it can make .avi files (this is gonna be a load of fun ), plus it is more or less a Photoshop with some uniques twists, like the rectangular selection for one, count colors tool for another and my favorite-hey wait a second! I can't get the replace color thing with this?? Where can I swap color for color exactly??

On the palette window. You just change out the values and it will modify your image accordingly. The trim looked fine when it was two pixels--now it's a little hard to notice (mostly because it's so dark). If there are problems with it in-game, you may want to post some screen shots, just so we're all on the same page.

Ah thanks, Mav, but I meant that my version of Cannoneer doesn't look so bad in game with the current shading. The one I use is the one with Agrias blues and was reshaded by Kagebunji. Some people on here complained that the shading sucked, I suppose it does because it was mainly by my hand...I think Kage did a good job...I actually honestly can't see the shading details, maybe because I am new or because I don't have a trained eye like you guys. So please, I know that you all are working on your own things, but if one of you can shade this better than me or Kage's version, please do it so that Cannoneer will finally be completed. Thanks Mav for the GG help btw. Color swap is most important...I might make some .avi files haha!

Edit: Here is the one I use in game, the one forementioned with the shading done by Kage. No portrait, I insert that manually, I think most of ya can handle that This is the one that I hope someday will be complete, doesn't matter what color you change the clothes to, leave 'em or change 'em to Rofel like Smash did...I can't work on this anymore, I gotta go back to school. Sorry...I feel bad and sad somehow that I can't finish this...

Don't stress over it--I'm sure someone will polish this up a bit; you did all the hard work. And even if school or whatever gets in the way, you can always come back and complete it later. This isn't as far from completion as it seems.

I will steal his hat if you don't mind ^^

Go right ahead Kage
Ah, also, do me a favor and post the hat if you change it for the better please.

Okay, after not doing much of anything for a while, here is what's up: today I downloaded FontLab Studio 5, and I am currently making/working on (very slowly) a font, either for personal use or maybe we could use it for this site? Who knows, who cares. Here it is:


Also, I have begun work on the Delita chapter 2 and 3 with Ramza's head, looking good so far. I won't post it until much later, because most of you can get a glimpse already in your heads how this is going to look anyways...thats all for now

Edit: Could someone please finish the Cannoneer? Mav, Jim, Smash, Kage, anyone?? If not thats fine, but I want to post this eventually finished...

What needs to be done with Cannooneer anyway?

Well, people first complained that the shading was not good enough, even though technically it is the same exact shading as the original Mediator (all I did was replace the colors and chop off the coat tails) and also, try as I may, I cannot get the portrait of Smash's to work on the spritesheet, because there will be too many colors Much thanks for all help in advance

Just checking, but you are aware that the corresponding portrait for each palette is actually on a palette of its own, right?  You aren't trying to paste the portrait into the first palette and make it look the way it should be, are you?
