Hey guys,
Well, the title says it all really. As I started making the first maps I'm reaching the point where I'm going to need a very large number of game sprites. Any type will do really.
So... how does one get an insane number of game sprites? Any ideas what it would require in terms of effort/rewards?

I've got a bunch of old item sprites (about 100 weapons) if you want them, and probably a dozen or so enemy and character sprites from the old Shining Online demos.

Ah, those would help already. I've got the sprites from the Lycadell campaign, but any additional ones would be quite useful.
Do you know if they're already in a proper image format (which is the same as with BABS 2.5, gif/png with two frames per facing and a 1 pixel border)

They're not in BABS format, but I can probably whip up a converter over the weekend

Awesome! Thanks a lot for all the help there!
I'm mainly focusing on programming the engine, and make the tiles, maps + dialogues, so having these sprites will help me a lot already .
Nevertheless, I might still write out a spritemaking contest too. Perhaps it could be a nice promotional thing for the Shining Source if I attach a prize to it as well and all?

Nice!
Meanwhile I finished the new SMEE tile editor for people who are truly lazy. No longer do we need to draw lines, draw bricks, do dithering or add noise ourselves. SMEE now has handy dandy buttons for this.
Now I should still add a color picker though, otherwise people will be stuck with the tiny palette forever and ever . However, before I add that I think I'll have a go at the interactive text event stuff .

I need something where I can see the 48x48 sprites walk around, just to make sure they don't look ridiculous when animated.
usually I use the game itself, but my version doesn't support?

Btw. that first sprite already looks quite good and usable . Even 2-frame sprites are useful to some extent, as I can include them in the walkabout map .
I am currently rather in need of a few rat sprites and animations, for the first battle. Would anybody be willing to make those at some point?

There's some rats there that could be a decent base to work from.

Thanks!

Hey Elv, any luck with the sprites sofar?
I managed to get a rat and a few ooze sprites done, as well as a combat animation for the ooze. However, I can desperately use any additional non-ripped sprites.

Oh, that looks really good already! Much better than what I have been able to produce sofar .
Thanks a lot for these already .
Meanwhile I've revised the scripting engine, so that you can put in Java events in entity responses .
