Lurker out of lurking

[Srekciv]

Heya everybody!

This site is awesome!
Final fantasy tactics is my favorite game of all time, and has been since I first played it when I was a wee lad.

I was looking for a specific tactics scene (can't remember which) on youtube one day when I stumbled upon some of Voldemort7's 1.3 videos. Needless to say I found it amazing that people were editing the game.

Making it more difficult? more balanced? hallelujah!

Then I saw some of the FFT Mercenaries stuff! 0_o totally sweet!

I've been lurking around the site ever since then, mostly in the spriters section checking out the wicked sprites people have been making.

I finally decided to try my hand at messing with sprites yesterday and made myself my avatar.

My hope is to eventually create my own patch, with a completely unique story, if that's even possible, and if i learn enough from here. I don't have any hacking know-how, other then having messed with gameshark xP (woot arc knight ramza!) and putting cfw on my psp. but ill see what i can do.

If all else fails maybe i can make some cool frankensprites !

Anywho, howdy folks!

Welcome to our little community located within the FFHotel our offices are located on floor 13 give us a visit.  Also you look like you could use an eyeball sandwich straight from Nobody.


EDIT: is your name supposed to be Vickers backwards or are you shooting for something else?

Thanks guys!
i just started trying to sprite, i made a few sprites for my friends rpgmaker project a few years ago but thats it.

@darthpaul: what's an eyeball sandwhich 0_o? and yeah it's vickers backwards, its not my name but an inside joke with my friends, too inside to even explain properly -_-

Any tips on starting out with spriting are appreciated! I've been using Graphics gale and photoshop7.

[DarthPaul]

For spriting I use gimp and ms paint.  Gimp is for pallet issues obviously.

[Kokojo]

Yay, a spriter !

*sends pms so that this guy works for my project*

[Algus]

Do you use gimp darthpaul ?

[DarthPaul]

For pallet issues I have used Gimp, Photoshop CS1 and 2, Photo Elf, and Photoscape. Gimp is just the easiest to use but I do all edit in MS Paint.

[Algus]

oh... I use it too..., but not always. sometime I'm using CorelDraw.

[DarthPaul]

I don't like Corel software it's too annoying for me.

[Algus]

why ?

[Cheetah]

Graphics Gale with Photoshop is a good combo. I would recommend downloading some game sprites (front page), doing some edits in graphics gale, and then also downloading FFTPatcher (front page downloads section) and seeing if you can import it into the game using the tools in FFTPatcher.

Welcome.
