Sprites

**tone** · January 13, 2008, 02:25 AM

I've just generated sprites for the whole of RS1.5. The only thing is that the DMB entries need now to match the names of the files, which will take a bit of work as it ouputs the vanilla faction name before the name of the sprite. But it's pretty obvious what belongs to what. DVK or someone, would you be happy to do this?

It would certainly improve the 1.5 experience while we're waiting for 2. I found the whole sprite generation process surprisingly easy - no more than an hour or so's work.

DVK, I also found that it came up with one error - a missing texture for a horse_half_armoured for I think carthage.

The sprite issue has been bugging me forever! How did you do it?

I'll add them....but it's gonna push the fix out.
I'll also check on the missing texture.

It's worth a delay...

Cherry, the sprite generator CA used has been included in the game, you just need to unlock it. tone, I assumed this is how you did it?

I ran the CA sprite generator using the command line add-on but also made use of the sprite generator tool that automatically creates a script file for the generator to follow as to which units should be sprited.

Then you have to batch convert the resulting .tga files to .tga.dds with mipmaps - there's a freeware utilility that does this (DDS converter 2). Helps to have blisteringly fast computer.

I don't know why it would say that, the texture isn't missing?
