Duck and Cover

I've made several. However I'm not an Artist. Only could do 2-4 directions, (need 32 directions for turning). When placed in the game with a turn rate of 0 they do fine, in the direction they are set to face. Since I don't have the other directions it looks kind of Odd when it turns and suddenly bec...

No problem. If you need help or find bugs just let me know. I check here every day or so.

For the new version of the editer, (49) , first go to the Help Menu, have a look at the Creating a ZAR info. To use the editer will need BMP in 256 color not PNG, or jpg. The trouble with both of these was having a palette that was used by all the images in an animation. With BMP in 256 color you ca...

One more thing you can try is screen resolution. I do most mapping in 800 X 600. You can also try 16 bit instead of 32 bit. Again all this helps on speed. Which version of Direct X do you have loaded? I've had issue with version 9. Might try loading the latest.

Trust you have installed the 1.27 patch. Try Going to Tools then Click New Occlusion Data, when its done, Save. Then reopen and see if your maps working faster. You can also try going into View and truning off Antialined both Sprites and Tiles, Dynamic Lighting, Smooth Shading and Shadows. Having th...

Thanks. Start slow till you get the hang of how things work. Read the help files and the help menu items, and if you have problems let me know. Oh one thing I don't explain well in the help menu tutorials, you can even edit layers if you want to, and you can edit all the sprites in the game.

Thinks for the help. May have help on this already. I Orignaly wanted to do a Vehicle Sprite to go along with the release of the Viewer. Kind of a suprise to some folks. Oh well, I'm not an artist.

PPS Personally, I'm shocked. Do we really, finally have a sprite editor available? :gasp: After all these years... :sob: You got it. I'll even go one better. If you go to TRS to their FOT Downloads, you'll also find a Corrected Male Reaver. If you remember the orignal could not fire the Rocket Luan...

Tip 1. Please read the help files located under the Help Menu in the program. While not great they do answer some questions. Tip 2. Read the Text Files that came in the ZIP, they also can answer questions. Tip 3. When running the program and you have problems or find bugs if you get a prompt, when t...

Back to the topic is there anyone who can do some 3D models and renderings of vehicles, mabe say the Highwayman from F2? Would need 32 directions.

Should be on its way enjoy.

OK JJ86 has it poted on his web site. If you have problems getting it to run let me know, but first read the help file that came with it, there may be some files you will need to run it.

Send me your E-mail in a PM and I'll get it to you.

Well shortly you'll be able to advance to the hard core of editing, "Sprite" vehicles and Characters. JJ86 is trying to acesses his site to post it.

Still looking for it. As I had said in a post about the editer, had a hard drive crash. While I always have backups, takes awhile to go thru them. The Sprite was around 7Meg If I remeber correctly, the tile was quite smaller, so I could send the tile, but the Sprite my E-mail want do over 2Meg. Will...

Soon as I can dig it out of my backups. Will get it for you. Tile, Sprite or both?

Heard that said about smoking.

Becareful, creating maps can be habbit forming. Do one small one then another and soon your creating bigger and bigger maps. Then you'll find yourself doing Sprites and Tiles.

The Bus image dose not fit well in the game. Wrong View angles. Already tried it. Without a model the current image dose not look good in game.

I have sent a copy to you. TRS has not posted it as of yet. As soon as they do, will let you know. Its only one editer/viewer not 2. If you did not get it send me a PM.
