Onion Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hi. I'm new around here, so i obviously have questions. I've been making a custom Knight w/ axe/sword animation for my first hack (who's team currently only consists of me) However, i can't find a complete sprite sheet of the enemy pallete from which i can base the animation on. Currently, i've been using Oswin's pallete as a reference, but unless i can find a way to easily recoler the sprite, i'll probably be stuck with Oswin as the genric enemy pallete for awhile. So, if you know any good way's to recoler sprites (without eye-dropping a coler, comparing it to the other sprite, then painting over the colers) could you please let me know? Thanks.

eCut Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Moved to sprites since it doesn't really have anything to do with hacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 For some reason, that didn't work. Is that for a specific program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eCut Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 MS Paint is free isn't it? It comes with Windows and I am sure you can find a free download of it on google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mew Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 A...are you running on an OS other than Windows? It comes packaged in with all Windows systems. Just search Paint on your computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Oh... that... It didn't have MS in front of it, and it looks radically diffrent then pretty much all pictures i've seen of it, so i assumed it was a diffrent thing X_X. Ironically, i've been using it this whole time. However, for some reason it still doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mew Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Ah, yep, I believe the Vista OS and up (might just be 7 though) changed the name to just "Paint," and updated the interface to be a lot nicer looking, which is why it looks different. Unfortunately, I don't use Paint (I usually do my sprites on a mac) so I'm not sure why the eraser method isn't working for you. You didn't explain what exactly isn't working however, so maybe we could help you if you described what about the eraser method was going wrong in more detail.

Onion Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Ah, sorry. Whenever i do the "right click" thing w/ the eraser, the coler doesn't change. However, whenever i left click, it makes a big, draggable square of red =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzz94 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm on windows 7 and for some reason that eraser method never worked for me. (and i never really understood why) Alternatively you can use usenti http://www.coranac.com/projects/usenti/ Which shows how many colors you have as well. Some people dislike usenti, but it works good for me personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah, the easer method doesn't work on some computers for some weird reason. I've found that if you save something in Usenti it won't work--I guess it has something to do with transparencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Kitty Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 it does work in windows 7, but it has to be in a fresh paint image for some reason(aka control+A, control+C, open a new paint doc, control+V) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onion Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 @fuzz: i have windows 7 and usenti, so thanks for the info =) @ Kitty: Thanks for the info! this will make things alot easier.

Also, you can open up the image in Paint.NET, save it (as a PNG) and then open it up in paint again and the eraser method works again.

deleted35362 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Dude, get Paint.Net. Recoloring takes like 2 seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saifors Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 if you're on windows 7: 1. select the thing that cant be recolored. 2. copy it and then paste it. now it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah, Windows 7 doesn't let you do it on a file that isn't new. If you still have issues, open the file you want to work on and a new file. Copy+paste to the new file and paste it back into the old file when you're done recoloring.

Jubby Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 it does work in windows 7, but it has to be in a fresh paint image for some reason(aka control+A, control+C, open a new paint doc, control+V) it's 'cause when you save it, Usenti default saves as an 8-bit transparent PNG, which apparently Paint doesn't like. If you click save as (in Usenti) and save it as a 24-bit non-transparent PNG, you can open it in Paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deranger Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 it does work in windows 7, but it has to be in a fresh paint image for some reason(aka control+A, control+C, open a new paint doc, control+V) For both the Windows Vista and the Windows 7 I've had this problem on, I've done the same except I just press delete instead of opening a new paint doc. Always works for me, might save you bit of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
