Graphic coders, look here! Just a "little" problem

Ok.. Then I'm gonna try it with the BM69, the BM73 is in the hands of Lakie

fire87 · Post by **fire87** » 20 Aug 2004 09:08

I just don't understand the numbers.. Not even a little

Well, in this line.. What is xrel, yrel, xsize and ysize: 66 8 01 18 8 -3 -10
It's a start though

This line doesn't contain xrel, yrel, xsize and ysize, AFAIK.

Only lines with a refer (directory path, filename) contain these values.

Hmm.. This is my NFO-file:

// Automatically generated by GRFCODEC. Do not modify!
// (Info version 4)
// Format: spritenum pcxfile xpos ypos compression ysize xsize xrel yrel
0 * 4 0D 00 00 00
1 * 8 08 06 4A 48 10 08 00 00
2 * 4 01 00 01 08
3 C:\MPS\TTWin95\SPRITES\bm69.pcx 66 8 01 18 8 -3 -10
4 C:\MPS\TTWin95\SPRITES\bm69.pcx 82 8 09 16 20 -14 -7
5 C:\MPS\TTWin95\SPRITES\bm69.pcx 114 8 01 12 28 -14 -6
6 C:\MPS\TTWin95\SPRITES\bm69.pcx 162 8 09 16 20 -4 -8
7 C:\MPS\TTWin95\SPRITES\bm69.pcx 194 8 01 18 8 -3 -10
8 C:\MPS\TTWin95\SPRITES\bm69.pcx 210 8 09 16 20 -14 -7
9 C:\MPS\TTWin95\SPRITES\bm69.pcx 242 8 01 12 28 -14 -6
10 C:\MPS\TTWin95\SPRITES\bm69.pcx 290 8 09 16 20 -4 -8
11 * 9 02 00 00 01 01 00 00 00 00
12 * 7 03 00 01 0C 00 00 00
13 * 7 00 00 01 01 16 12 FD

And as far as I can see, the last numbers contain the x-things.. The other things is just pseudonyms (hope you understand

)

I mean this numbers: 290 8 09 16 20 -4 -8

EDIT: I didn't actually see what you wrote, and I wrote the same as you did

Well, I'm gonna give it a try..

66 = xpos, 8 = ypos, coordinates of the sprite
01 = comprossion, I've no idea what this is
18 = ysize, 8 = xsize, sizes of the sprite (the blue area)
-3 = xrel, -10= yrel, this defines the 'centre' of the sprite, which defines where the sprites will be placed in-game. (I think this is trial and error).

Okey, now it'd just to get those damned sprites from the bm69.png to bm69.grf

I let you know if it works..

fire87 · Post by **fire87** » 20 Aug 2004 09:48

Hmm.. I did that, and now the train won't recognise itself.. I isn't in the list either

Now I'm very confused..

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 20 Aug 2004 09:50

Maybe the NFO code is damaged

You might need help from a coder.

fire87 · Post by **fire87** » 20 Aug 2004 09:59

Let's hope Lakie know what's damaged..
We'll se later today, I hope.

I tried one more time on the BM73 and the result is exactly the same as before

Well it won't be shown like that: you're changing the graphics of ID 0C but setting ID 16 to sprite FD? You need the same ID in the bold bytes, whichever ID you are trying to replace.

fire87 · Post by **fire87** » 20 Aug 2004 21:28

Okey.. I'm trying that now

It didn't (as always) work..

I got a code base done...

YOU can do the alignment.

Solved

This should be ok for you.

fire87 · Post by **fire87** » 21 Aug 2004 14:56

OFF COURSE!!

I'm just wondering.. Did you solve the random livery problem completely?

Or is it still some problem with it? Just wondering

So is it up to me to do the alignment thingy..

it seems to me that the alignment, at least in / view, is already very good.

Website · Post by **Lakie** » 21 Aug 2004 15:04

Well, my random code failed.

So it uses the year code (if it's an odd year it's red, otherwise blue

)

No, I did the alignment for you.

(and rewrote most of the code...)

Anyways, I shall talk to Purno about a release.
And you'll be in the credits somewhere...

fire87 · Post by **fire87** » 21 Aug 2004 15:04

IIRC, I already did the alignment before Lakie got the BM73 "Ghosttrain" and turned it into a BM73

EDIT: So you did the alignment.. Okey.. Then the only thing I did with it was to convert the train from PNG to GRF

Website · Post by **Lakie** » 21 Aug 2004 17:03

You made me look into finishing / rewriting code for the BM73.

I did this for the spritesheet...

I used the .png file from Purno's Overview...
Convertted it in to TTD palette.
Rearrange it...
Make a red version of it...
And compiled with my code
(then started to align it.

)

Nothing much really.

(and a didn't have to touch you .grf file since you gave me the .nfo file(which has been re-written for the most part))

[edit]

Also the .pcx file I have cannot be from you .grf file since your sprite sheet only had the train engine views... and mine has all 4 parts, in 2 Sets (red and blue versions.)

Sorry for being so evil.

As I said, that doesn't matter

I'm just happy that you found out what the problem was, and fixing it, that you coded it I see as a bonus
