I can't make this mod I'm trying (and probably failing) to make unless this thing has a pink background by tommorrow. Can someone just take their fill tool and fill it in, without spending till tomorrow asking me why I need it for tomorrow instead? I have a mac and for some reason my crappy computer doesn't have a paint programme (nnnnggghhh )

that looks good!

but there are a crapload of different shades of grey.

im doing it right now.

thats a JPEG. which you copied into a bmp. thats annoying, because JPEG likes to mess up colors.

Thanks. and notice: MADE BY NACHOS. I probably don't know enough about modding right now to get anywhere until about 3 years time, but I might finish it someday. I bet 5 bucks I don't though. And anyone who bets against me that I never get this done, the time limit for completion of this, plus a crab, human, dropship and beam cannon thing is 5 years. If it isn't done, you pay me 5 bucks. Through paypal. I'm serious. If you want you can help me and ensure that you get your 5 bucks in 5 years or whenever I finish the crab, human, dropship and pod, and beam cannon. I'm gonna do the cannon first, but it won't have any gibs. I'm probably just gonna copy ivan's space marines one .

so do you need help with the code???
i cant sprite but i can code...

Probably. I can't do either. Basically it's a personal mod of pasted together fragments of other peoples work. I won't really release it even if it does get done because none of it will be mine. Mainly because I have a MAC. STUPID MACS DON'T HAVE MSPAINT SO I CAN'T SEE THE PIXELATION. All I have is sprite sheets and I'll get a few sounds off the net. Maybe from the templates.

that sucks.
but i guess than you have some other good thinks like a mac version of mspaint where you can make diffrent sprites no?

doesnt photoshop work for just pixels?(ive been playing around with it and it definately seems to work great for pixelation)

Hell no. As far as I know there is no way of making sprites that are useable on a mac. But if you want you could take over this, I have a load of sprite sheets and a weapon sprite lined up. I stole Ivan's meltagun code for it . I got the code but the atomgroups and all that crap will almost certainly be wrong. I can upload it, but remember IT IS NOT FINISHED. It will not load, and it has naught but sprite sheets and some other thigns in it. The weapon is the best place to start. Then the dropship, at least I have sounds for that. I'm gonna look for a buzzing sound for the motor. Photoshop does bugger all as far as I can tell. You can edit existing pictures, but it isn't a paint program.

Gimp for Mac. You can set the palette through [Layer] -> [Mode] -> [Indexed] -> Custom... And this palette file for MO sprites, this one for terrain or bunker module sprites. You will have to find out where to place the palette file for Gimp to be able to find it by yourself. It is defined in [Edit] -> [Preferences] -> Folders... Palettes.

I have no idea how to work this. The user manual is an inspired work of pure evil. The path you suggested does not work, in fact mode is not even in there, it is in image, and I cannot access it.
EDIT: Worked it out. But when i put in 'transparent' pink, it comes up pale red. Can someone tell me the balance of red, blue and green to get 'transparent' pink? As in hot pink? Without it coming up as red?

here you go.

dont ♥♥♥♥ with it and make it a JPEG.

damn.

i believe an ingame sprite maker and offset maker would make this much easier.

there is a clean version of that sprite somewhere else on the forum, probably in the sprite dump. search for all posts made by nachos to find it.
also yeah, use gimp for spriting on a mac, its the most advanced option there is, with the easiest installation.
that or go through the hell of installing wine and use the mspaint that comes as part of it.

All the sprites are in here.

well ♥♥♥♥. i did all that ♥♥♥♥ for nothing?
