Smash's Skins and Misc. (Probably the Final Lemmings Update)

[tsukiyomaru0]

No, the thing is, I always use MSpaint. But it can't save stuff with transparent colors as far as I know, so I open the sprites in Irfanview specifically for saving them with transparency. But when I imported them into SLumpEd, The color isn't transparent. :?

Use SlumpEd's color remap to remap the color you want to be transparent to index 247 and then apply it.

Okay, I'll try that. Thank you.

EDIT: Er...How do I do that? I can't seem to find the remap or anything of the sort.

[Jafar]

Just use Paint.net.

Okay, I'll try that. Thank you.

Oh, sorry, I confused... It is in XWE... SRY! ^^

XWE has this nifty thingy called "Color Remap"... But I can get you the MS Paint color combination for the transparency.

Done...
Red: 0
Green: 255
Blue: 255
Hex format: #00FFFF
This tone

Hope this clears enough! XD

Its much easier to just use Paint.net.

Just open up the image in Paint.net, erase the background, and then save.
You're done! The image is now transparent.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Paint.net sounds simpler, so I'll go with that. Thanks though. Hopefully this skin should be finished later today.

[tsukiyomaru0]

Actually, that doesn't works like that. Even when I made transparent areas with Photoshop, I STILL had to remap colors in XWE. Regardless of having the file saved as Web-Friendly or normal.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Oh? Well, I haven't started on it yet so I'll just have to use XWE then.

[Kapus]

Trust me, Paint.net works just fine. I used it for all of my skins.
If you encounter any problems, just ask me.

He is the Terror that Flaps in the night!

He is the hero that every culture in every world needs!

He is...

FINALLY FINISHED!
After 4 pages of working on him, I've finally released Darkwing Duck. I hope you all have fun with him. This is my very first skin and I really wanted it to count. And just to tip you guys off, Try the bonus music code "DARKWING". =P

[SmashTheEchidna]

There's a problem with Darkwing Duck: His black outline remains black when he's infected in Roboenza. Whatever you do, NEVER listen when the tutorial tells you to use 05 05 05 for black.

(quote from the wrong thread.)

Ahem. I didn't even look at the tutorial's part on that. That shade of black was just how his sprites were. I had forgotten to check him in Roboenza, so I didn't realize. I'll fix that later today, when I get the chance to.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Okay, Now get your updated duck download before you do anything else.

First post was updated, too.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Just going to let you know that this isn't completely dead. I'm gonna start working on a new skin soon. ((Soon just might even be right now.))

[SmashTheEchidna]

Hey. I just got an idea for a new skin...or rather, quite a few new skins.

I'm sure many people know about Kapus' chao skin, right? What if I made a Hero and Dark chao skin? I had originally got this idea from considering making a Cat Chao skin, (has absolutely nothing to do with Cat Planet) something I had made up some time ago. I had also considered making the Hero and Dark Cat Chao as well, but then I realized that if I did that, then I would have to make a normal Hero and Dark as well.

So what do you think? Should I go ahead and make all of these or just a set few? In case you want to know, this is what a cat chao looks like:

(click to show/hide)

There really isn't too big of a difference between hero regular and cat chao, to be honest. (I tried so hard to come up with a trait to add to it, I came up with nothing.) So I would just leave that out, but if I had the Dark Cat chao along with it, then I'd of course have to bring in the hero one as well.

Anyway, What is your say on all of this?

[Kapus]

Why make a Hero and Dark chao skin? Given the color scheme for the MM8BDM skins, they would hardly look any different than a normal chao. They'd just have different emotiballs and head shapes.

Its just redundant.
