SPELLBINDER'S PROFILE

@Liberty: Good idea actually, i wanted to change the positions long time ago. the problem is this:

all heroes can be exchanged, and there are a lot of heroes and many class combinations. when i am not using the standard (automatic) placement of battlers, i am forced to place them manually by myself in the terrain tab of the editor. this is not possible as far as i know to do with variable party members. (difficult to explain, im not native english).

you can have 4 knights, or 2 knights and 2 wizards, or 1 knight, 1 wizard, 1 cleric and 1 thief and they all can be in slot 1,2,3 or 4 of your party. thats so many combinations its impossible for me to set their placement manually in the editor.

hope you understood the problem.

PS: sprites are from "shining force" (mega drive) and are supposed to face each other (down/up)

Thanks anyway!

Two screens from another arena combat styled side-project of mine. This is the standard battle system with DynRPG, Animated Monsters Plugin (can't see on the scrns), Battle Animations instead of Battlers (large player chars!) and many pages of event scripting to boost the dusty standard combats.

And yes, I am still suffering from the "too many projects" syndrome :-)

@dragonheartman

thanks, but its not so super-important to my project right now. i will try to excactly locate the error and report here again. only thing i can say is: im using the same graphics for both hurt frames to make it display a bit longer, but instead its not displayed at all. have to check resistances/armor, maybe the enemy couldn't be hurt at all in my test.

one more thing: sadly the enemies are removed when they die, it would be much cooler if their corpses (dead frame) would be left on the ground. but i think this is too specific to be doable.

Just checked it out, its a good start.

One strange thing: Idle and dead frames are shown, but the "hurt" frames do not show up, the images are there - the project does not crash either.

hey everyone,
I need some art recommendations for one of my several dozen side projects :-)

In Short:

Im looking for animated battle sprites for both characters and enemies from a commercial, but yet lesser known franchise (i know this is illegal but i dont care, as my game will be completely free - if ever completed). Best would be a game on spriters-resource or somewhere else, as i dont want extract all the graphics by hand.

Do you have any idea wich lesser known franchise sprite graphics i could use?

In Depth:

One of my side projects is a battle focused minigame thats all about party combat, equipment and levelling up. Im using DynRPG and dragonheartman's Animated Monsters plugin (as well as some others) - so this is highly experimental.

So, im looking for good sprite graphics for the game. I need animated sprites (at least standing, idle and attacking) for both the player characters and enemies. I have not even decided for a theme yet, so it could be anything at least there are enough sprites and animations to represent a nice variety of chars/monsters.

As this is a combat only minigame, i would appreciate franchises that feature nicely animated battle chars. This game takes place only in the combat system, so instead of a tileset - i need as many battlchars as i can get.

I was searching on spriters-resource and a few others, but 2+ brains have more ideas than just one. so i thought i ask you here. one of my ideas was for example the battlers from "shining force 1-2/CD", as they are really well drawn and there are so many of them - sadly they are too big to fit 4 PCs and 8 monsters into a single screen.

finally I am using 2k3 and would like to get sprites in the SNES era style. And with "lesser known" i just mean: please no final fantasy! its just all over the place already.

Hope you understood my question.

Its a really simple question actually: Just throw any cool, lesser known franchise you can think off in my direction!

Thanks!
