I learned something. Not everything, but a good solid step in the direction of learning to create armor for DS1. A Huge thank you from my heart to sjr and lili. I had an idea a while back for some armor.
I don't know anything about skrit or coding or any of that other "wizardry" but I can edit images fairly decently so I decided to just totally wing something. I remembered when I had gone in to the image gallery of Kathy and Bare Elf ideas that I had seen somehting that would work for what I wanted. This is a piece of armor designed by bare_elf: http://www.herenaforge.org/tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=1066 I downloaded that and drew over it to create my image: The the moo czar sjr came and worked some wizardry upon my image: ^^ sjr wrote:
The dsres file I created is attached in my first post. That would show what I did. I just saved the image Kathy posted. Saved it as a psd file. Then used the psd to raw converter, which generates a raw and gas file for the art folder. Then I made a quick simple gas file for the interactive folder for the actual item/armor. If you put that dsres file in place you can wear the armor. It worked fine in the Abstraction folder (you can tell by the pointy ear girl I used in the image). The only think I didnt do was create a gui inventory icon, I just used a standard one. Creating armors or character skins when you already have a image that is already in DS view format is very easy to do. Most all skins/armors I made in Abstraction were done in a short time. Naming (what it is called - naming with template name is easy also since I just keep things the same/similar to avoid confusing myself) and deciding what stats to do take longer. This is his result:
Then Miss Lili came and worked her wizardry: bare_elf wrote: Then I took a basic armor template and changed it to support the new image. Which I called b_c_pos_a1_pleather.psd (see my blog) 
BTW All this comes originally from Herena Forge, my other wonderful Dungeon Siege home on the 'net. blogs: |
