Weapon Size?
« on: June 08, 2007, 11:55:09 pm »
When I make the sprite of the gun does it need to be a certain size or will it resize itself?

Needs to be of a certain size; it won't resize. You could use the default weapons as templates.

Smaller than 64x64, shouldn't be a problem seeing as no one would want a weapon that big anyway unless they were drawing a targeting line.
I attend grammar school, last grade, and ignorance is all around me. Well, good for them. Ignorance is bliss.

The sprite (weapon-gfx) has to be tiny... maybe something like 8 x 3 pixels

The interface icon (interface/guns) tends to be about 32 x 7 pixels (but can be used effectively at double that size without intruding into the text or over other weapons)

Weapons-gfx images are typically 4 or 5 pixels in height. Check the original of which ever weapon you're modifying, it varies between them.
Interface-gfx/guns images can be at most 20 pixels in height before they start overlapping sprites below them in the weapons menu. They have no length limitations, but 32 or so pixels is usually good enough.

Gigantic Chainsaw mod.
It didn't occur to me that it was inactive. I forgot it was a few pages down.
And how was it irrelevant. I was repling to the comment about there not being a hard-set limit on weapon sizes. My idea of a joke.
I don't understand how one post is "spamming"?

Gradius, why the hell are you spamming useless stuff and reviving apparently inactive threads?

don't post in here just to say that.  Use that handy "report to moderator" link in his post, and we'll take care of the rest

Ah, sorry, I feel guilty and like a Chakra suck-up if I click on 'report to moderator' more than once every 2 weeks.
