One more status update - all of the pictures have a bit clearer outlines, I changed the eyes and head of the leopard to make it look less lame, changed the head and hind legs of the panther and this time the moose is actually a moose

edit: while uploading, I found that BW2 screwed my moose completely, so I have just redone it from an backup made an hour earlier. AARGH! Now it is not as good as it was before but at least you get the picture.

These look great, thanks. Are you happy with the current status or will you want to fiddle around with them a bit more?

[Tassadar88]

It depends. I will be pretty busy tomorrow and the day after, but Friday and on I should be able to give them some finishing touches. On the other hand, if you want to release them (and I know they are waaay past the requested time) go ahead and I can give you updated files so that if/when you should be producing an updated version of the mod, you could add them then. I know that especially the moose could do some more tweaking as I had to redo it in a rush. Also, if I get some more critique, I am quite willing to fiddle with the rest

I'm still waiting on another part of the third party work I need to do the release, so go ahead and finish them up to your satisfaction.

They look good, but you might want to darken the edges of the ones that aren't already dark, otherwise they tend to blend into the background. I do this with BAMs as a standard practice; they can look edgy sometimes without it.

For some reason when I use the cat and snake paper dolls in game, the background isn't the tanish parchment it normally is, but all white. I'm sure this is just some transparency setting issue, but I'm not sure how to fix it.

[Tassadar88]

If you need it really fast, I can recolor them - it is basically two clicks in bamworkshop, but otherwise I would rather wait of Vilkacis.
If you have BAM workshop (1 or 2) the color you want to set is the turquise one on the very left in the color menu.

I have no idea why that happens. All my screens come from in-game tests, so obviously the transparency worked for me.

Feel free to do whatever you need to get them to work if you still want them, but you should probably replace at least the cat with a side view image so it meshes with the rest.



...on a side note, it amuses me terribly that the solid snake bam has almost as many downloads as the regular snake. I kind of wonder what people do with it...

well... a good part of them might have been me, as I was using them both when I was trying to find out how to make the bams usable ingame

I've tried fiddling around with it in Bamworkshop, but I seem to be missing something here. Do I convert it to unpaletted and then make it paletted and set the transparency to the turquoise? Everything looked ok on the files when I open them in an editor, but it doesn't work in the game. If you wouldn't mind Tassadar88, I'd appreciate it if you made the fix on your end to the snake and cat paperdolls as your other paperdolls worked just fine for me.

Thanks.

They were actually displaying funny when I loaded them in BGII - the two parts were misaligned, but the colour was fine. I resaved them however, and I centered the snake a little in DLTCEP, as a part of it was a bit off the screen.
Tell me if you still have the background colour issues.

EDIT: Sorry, I was not being very clear. Turquoise is transparency in BamWorkshop I, In BW2 it is the white with a blue stripe across it. Any Bam is always palleted (unless I am an idiot) and I think (not 100 percent sure again) that the only difference is compressed vs. uncompressed, where BGII uses compressed and other IE games use uncompressed.

They all work as intended, Thanks.
