    • Razor Design Studios Release Notice and first free graphic


      Recently, while looking through my hard disk, I noticed the amount of unused graphics I have. Nearly 50 of them. Therefore it gives me great pleasure to inform you of the imminent opening of Razor Design Studios, where you will be able to download these graphics. I am still ironing out some bugs in the site so as a teaser of the site, I have uploaded one of said graphics for download. It is my Rebel Fighter. Following are a few pics of it, and the url for the .sit download:

      Well, ive never really thought about it. Depends really. I would have to say about maybe $30 dollars for a set of 6 (6 ships) - $5 a ship. Does that sound reasonanle to everyone? For EV/O graphics I wouldnt even think about charging but making NOVA sprites is so much more time consuming and tricky!

      Thanks,

    • Not bad. I've been trying to make some NOVA sprites of my own, but I can't seem to even locate the data file that contains the ship sprites...

      The shan resource contains the spin data, which can be found in Nova Ships 1 - 4. The rleD and rle8 contain sequences of frames based on tiled PICTs, and these are linked to the shan resource. There is sfortware availible from the NovaTools site which converts tiled layouts into rle8 (or rleD) format, and visa versa. Of course, you must have NovaTools installed to see these resources....

      Thanks. There are a few more in this set which are nearing completion: Corvette, Destroyer, Shuttle, and Freighter. Many more races to come...

      Again, thanks. There are outfits, ships, landing pics (well 1 of so far), weapon pics, etc, etc...

      Not very complex I know but it is just designed as a game graphic. I have been toying with the idea of giving it a bit of an over haul to make it a bit more detailed and image gallery friendly... 🙂

      Thanks everyone,

    • Sorry to dredge up this topic but I recently tried to convert this ship to rlëD and rlë8, unfortunately I didn't get very far.

      After placing the ships sprite/mask picts in ResIDs 128 and 129 (just a trial run) I then created a spin resource and gave it appropriate IDs, an xy of 30x30, and a frame xy of 6x6 (the rest seem to be banking graphics). Unfortunately after all that the fighter seems to "jump" up and down a fair bit and exhibit other problems, despite my best tweaking (6x18 frames, various dimensions).
      As this is my first attempt at this sort of conversion I'm guessing the problem lies with me.

      I'm posting this is to see if anyone could give me the correct dimensions or other specs. Also it would be nice if someone could tell me how to deal with the banking graphics and glow frames (glow: just make spins for them too then convert?).

      Oh, and yes I did consult threads on rlëD and rlë8 but this seemed to be the appropriate place for this topic as there may be an error in the graphic. That means I DID try using search to find help but was unsuccessful.

      And I am REALLY sorry if this is a completely stupid newbie queston.
