Can someone explain me how to add new sprites to the game? I was try to add one, but I get it as a texture instead! :(
you mean new art?
What do you mean you get it as a texture? Without code tiles are just tiles, or do you mean the transparency isn't working? If you're talking about 8 bit art, I'd use tilefromtexture, where transparency is represented by the alpha channel.
I guess that shot explain it all.
transparency. see Micky's post
Where I can download tilefromtexture tool? Link at duke4 is broken.
i thought it was def code
read the eduke wiki
DukeRes and BastART are good but they have some problem with transparency. But i have an DukeRes fixed version. If you are in interes i could send you ;)
Hi, cant find a more appropriate thread so Ill ask it here.
How do I properly replace a sprite?
I tried to replace the pistol sprite from tiles009.art but when I load it in duke it gets crazy.
check out some of the gun mods at RTCM and see how they did it.
okay, I checked them out, and used them. I still dont know whats wrong.
My process
1. There is an art file that contains a dual pistol weapon, but also a chaingun replacement, but I do not want the new chaingun. So
2. I open the normal unmodified tiles009.ART of duke using Dukeres.
3. open the modified art file that contains that dual pistol.
4. Set the dukeres to tiled view so I can see both art files.
5. Copy pasted the dual pistol to unmodified art.
6. saved as single art file.
I used both the dukeres and the hacked one. It all came from duke rtcm. When I load the art it looks like this.
sorry. i don't know enough about art files to provide real help. i was hoping one of the example weapon replacement art mods would hold your answer.
just to check, you verified that the original dual pistol worked before you tried to import your art into it?
If someone have problem with transparent color in 8-bit mode, i suggest to go in Paint and name new color for background which have this coordinates:
red 252
gren 0
blue 252
hue 200
Sat 240
Lum 119
Also if someone use DukeRes only COPY option works and IMPORT do not work :( Also be careful DukeRes can mess up your graphics for some reason. I reccomend to use BastART to import 8-bit BMP files that have coordinates for background color i gived here.

no I imported the art from the dual pistol to the original art.
