Help improve juncSource

juncmodule · Wed 05/05/2004 19:27:36

I was looking at my web stats and juncSource had over 700 visits last month. I really haven't touched this page since I put it up, but it is used a LOT.

Does anyone have any suggestions on easy ways to improve it, make it a better resource?

Does anyone have any material they would like to contribute?

Any advice or help is appreciated.

Thanks,

I ripped a lot of backgrounds from CMI the other day.. You could use them, I could easily rip the objects as well if you wanted... Or even the voice files if someone (for whatever reason) wanted them...

By chance do you have guybrush from CMI? That would be a great addition, cartoony animated character as opposed to the pixel character already up.

As far as the background goes...I had intended on doing this, but I just don't know if backgrounds would be all that useful as a resource. Maybe a generic outline of a room or something, but a fully drawn room isn't much use except to use it in it's entirety. That really isn't the point of juncSource, it's to give you templates to draw over. If you have something that you think would be useful in that sense, then yes, go ahead and post it.

thanks for the response.

Sorry, I couldn't rip the costume.. However Maybe you could use the save/load game background. When i ripped it it was just a blank book so people can use it and add there own text..?

juncmodule · Wed 05/05/2004 20:50:29

Sure, that's good for starters.

Thanks.

i got somewhere teh sam and teh max costumes.. gotta search them.

but approximately (sp?) i only got free time in two weeks, gotta do some graduating (write abitur)

juncmodule · Thu 06/05/2004 02:34:06

...was that english?

eh, anyway, I gather that you may have Sam and Max sprites, but you will have to search for them. If you find them that would be great.

Thanks,

good luck on your abi!

Mats Berglinn · Thu 06/05/2004 06:36:04

Hey juncmodule, how about Day of the Tentacle sprites? You should add those. And more MI-sprites like Lemon-head, LeChuck, Largo, Voodoo-lady and others.

I have the side and front animations for a character that we were going to use, but the animator who did it vanished. We have since decided to use another style, but I can post her. Maybe it would be good practice for someone to finish her.

Personally, I thought JuncSource was basically a place, yes to get templates, but also you could get good placeholder images and backgrounds. I know that if I had a decent character to work with (all four directions in the same proportions as the final character) it would expedite the creation process, and allow the animator to take the time to do the animations really superbly, rater thanrushing him to get them done. Same with backgrounds.

I have both FOA and the LSL collection I could work on, if you want, and of course BASS is now freeware.

.. · Thu 06/05/2004 18:49:35

Thats a good point, maybe ppl could post unused sprites from there games

juncmodule · Thu 06/05/2004 19:51:15

Okay, Placeholder Backgrounds and Characters it is.

I just didn't want juncSource to be a place that encourages people to use these graphics in their games and nothing else. Placeholder is a GREAT word for it though. Thanks.

I would really love that abandoned character if you would like to donate her.

I would rather leave BASS alone, I have had contact with Revolution Games and they don't want their graphics ripped and distributed. They let me use characters from BASS for my Keptosh Remake, so I don't want to..."wrong them", because they are pretty cool.

As far as FOA, if you want to, cool, but, it's not the highest priority as I can extract them myself.

Some LSL rips would be cool though (from LSL5 and up).

Scuthbert makes the point that I am driving at. Unused sprites by AGS users. Fresh characters with styles that folks can't get from anywhere else, at least not without looking really hard. I would really like to make juncSource more about that and less about ripped art from copyrighted games. Not that I would get rid of the existing content, I would just like to expand it.

Thanks for your input so far everyone. It's a big help.

Well, I've got this sprite i made for a MAGS game that was never finished.
It includes:

Down view pose

,

Sideview pose

,

Sideview walkcycle

And sideview talkcycle.

All that in bmp format, zipped:
Funk.zip (6,94 kb)

Feel free to use or discard.

Eggie · Thu 06/05/2004 23:34:04

Well...the templates don't seem to work with my version of AGS...maybe you could look into that...

juncmodule · Fri 07/05/2004 03:59:03

About 90% of the time that is because you are using an older version of AGS. I'm not positive what version they were compiled on, but I would recommend downloading the latest stable version and trying that. If the problem isn't solved, let me know.

@Damien: Thanks, I will add him to juncSource in a few days.

Wow, I never thought of the idea of using placeholders before characters are available! That's a great use for this resource. Now, characters are not even close to being my forte, but if you want I can draw some backgrounds that I doubt anyone will want to use as anything other than placeholders

. Of course, this'll take some time as it's pretty hard to believe the amount of work we have to do for school. It's a test every 3 days minimum, and oral presentation, huge math homework, etc etc..

If there's something in particular you'd like me to draw and add (if you even want backgrounds), tell me. I mean, a certain type of location, sorta like Insta-game being in space.

I'm gonna use some of those sprites as placeholders now

Junc: I can help you with some Day of the Tentacle sprites. Now there is one question, when I have ripped off the sprites what do I do with them? Just send them to you or what?

Joseph DiPerla · Fri 07/05/2004 17:44:23

Hey Junc, if you want, you could download my Simpsons Template, upload it to your site. If you even want, you could extract the graphics and leave them for download as well from the template. You have my full permission to do so.

Just check it out in the Simpsons thread for the link in the Games in production forum.

Just make sure that if you use my template that you leave the Zip File the way it is so that people could see the change log and disclaimer.

juncmodule · Sat 08/05/2004 02:37:16

Mats: You can just post them here. Or if you don't have webspace email them to me. junc@juncmodule.com. Try to keep the file size down.

Joseph: ROCK ON! That sounds great. Of course I have already downloaded it. I will do both.

Thanks,
