head ani problem
on: March 15, 2008, 09:26:39 am
Before starting: HELLO THERE!  :D

Now:
I've created a head ani, but i see it "distorted" when playing. For each pcx i've done a color saturation (true grey) and reduced to 256 grays. When playing i watch the entire head black, and some parts of the t-shirt and font green (my hud is green). I dont know how to put a screenshot, sorry. Excuse my english. Can you help me?

Working on the Freespace 2 spanish translation. In case you want to play the game in castillian, click here. You'll need some spanish there, though, sorry :p

If you want your mod/campaign translated to spanish, please PM me or send me an e-mail message.

I could translate from spanish to english too, if you want, but it wouldn't be perfect, not at all. For spanish->english translations comes better an english native with spanish knowledge.

I think it needs to be 16 grey. Take a head ani and check its pallete for number of greys.

Mmmmmmm... yesss................. i don't understand.  :p.
But i'm not using photoshop, it's a freeware (ai picture utility v8). A head ani is a lot of pcx files. Do i have to modify every pcx? I've got this head from an avi file (video). From this video, i've selected a secuence and divided it in pcx files. Then i've selected the ones i wanted (took some time). Then opened every pcx one by one and converted them to grey (took some time too). First with 256 grays. Then 16 grays as Water said. Both 256 and 16 failed.  :(. Oh, and tried with colors too.

Ok, well sorry I don't know this AI picture utility, but if it helps I can tell you the exact palette necessary in hex:
000000
0F0F0F
232323
373737
474747
5B5B5B
6B6B6B
7F7F7F
8F8F8F
A3A3A3
B3B3B3
C7C7C7
DBDBDB
EBEBEB
FFFFFF
0000FF
00FF00
(and the rest of the palette is all 00FF00) so technically it's a 256 color palette but with only 16 unique colors (plus all the 00FF00 at the end)

Hope that helps.  There's gotta be a way to apply a certain palette to an existing pcx... if not, you'll have to find another program that does.  Good luck!
