BROS, I'm thiniking about making Front Mission 3 avatars (from original game .tim images). Questions are:

1) Does anybody care?

2) Original size (63x80) inside a 96x96 transparent frame:

3) Resized (76*96) inside a 96x96 transparent frame:

artstyle looks good so you have my seal of approval. And (3) is best (cause it's bigger).

Not sure if CB answer, last time was hueg Divinity:OS hype and may miss some signals like here.

BTW, the ones from Front Mission 2 would look like this (had to resize them from 64x112 to 69x96 + add transparency):

BTW, 112x112 would've been even better, but I'm not sure if 'Dex' code can scale to their level...

Hey, Crooked Bee - is 112x112 possible for avatards? They will be scaled down to 96x96 in forums, but shown in original res in User Profile?

Tbh I'd prefer 96x96 because the way xenforo downscales them is just ugh. Also being >96px could in theory lead to problems next time xenforo upgrades itself (because xf's fucked up).

Also, I should get around to adding all the new avatars ITT hopefully sometime soon.

there is a way. make your own game with avatars and request them to be added.

Commencing development on MST3K 3000: Teh RPG...

Edit: make that MSTK30000: The ACTION Game since it apparently doesn't have to be a RPG (Alpha Brotocol, anyone?)

You can donate (I think it was $10) and have your own custom avatar.

I'm pretty sure I've donated more than $10 worth of working hours to the codex so far, even though none of it has seen the interwebs. What I'm saying is I deserve one (although my snake avatar is pretty boss).

Just don't be surprised if Jaesun decides he wants it for himself.

 

[Jaesun]

No. The next cRPG that FUCKING HAS a Serpent avatar (and it looks good) I'll use. Seriously, Larian. WTF?

Maybe Pillars of Eternity will at least have fucking Serpents.....

One would expect Serpent in the Staglands to have you know a serpent.

 

[agentorange]

Bumping for mah rogue trader avatars. plz.

Naw. I finally said goodbye to the Ultima avatar, out of protest that Gariott has gone full retardo and now embraces the POP-A-MOLE as the future of RPG's. Screw him.

132 avatars from Front Mission 2 are ready:

https://www.mediafire.com/?alb4zzcgb9nmyec

They look mostly like this:

sfw

Except black background (looks better due to reduced aliasing IMO) and transparent bars to make them 96x96.

This shit required some hard work.
Tutorial if someone is interested in making different / better ones:

1) Extract compressed .tim images from ZDATA.BIN, using PB Archives Extractor Tool.
2) Convert .tim images to .png images using Tim2View. Since it has problems with scanning directories which include already extracted .tim images, I simply packed all extracted .tims into one .zip file, using no compression (“store” setting in Winrar) and then used “scan file” option to find all .tims inside the archive and mass-convert them to .pngs.

Original .pngs look like this:

The portraits are 64x112 (0,57 aspect ratio):

Which is IMO different than the one used in the game. The dude who uploaded FM2 sprites to VGResource site went with 80x112 res (0,71 AR). I’ve decided to use this AR as well (there’s no way of saying if it’s proper, without running the damn game on real hardware, using good old 4x3 CRT TV), resizing them to 69x96 (0,71 AR):

Now, the only thing left to do was to add two horizontal, transparent bars, to make the final file 96x96:

Multiply by 132 and you’re done.



BTW, I went with “one avatar per character” rule (skipping images showing different emotions of one character), cuz’ I’m funny like that.

Now it’s time for FM3 avatars (~220).

 

[Hirato]

Not that your work isn't appreciated, but to me the "aspect corrected" version looks both terrible and kind of unnatural.

The CSS for avatar display seems to have been set up for 96x150 being the maximum size, so there's not really any point to resizing them.
So I'd say just grab the originals, add 32px of transparency total, then call it a day.
