Recolored NOD units[TS]

Starkiller · Pyro Sniper **Joined**: 26 Nov 2008

A simple job of recoloring done by me. Cyborg appears to be nicer after the recolor. Rocket Infantry looks like Denmon's, but I made it myself. Wink

Sorry to say, but I think they are bad Neutral

You have lost all the detail now, and only the Cyborg Commando is black; all other Nod units are grey like they where...

I agree, looks like a black blob half the time >.>

They look better in the SHP builder and In-game than they do in those previews. SHP builder seems to export bad .GIF's.

When I made it, it looked quite detailed and there were lines on the back on the legs, now they can barely be seen.

man, if you make GIF previews, make sure they keep the original palette. Especially for infantry. All non-remap in these previews looks 100% black.

As in, using TS's unittem palette? Because I always use red alert's, the background blue so I can see the pixels better.

I added 2 new units to it, Cyborg Commando and Cyborg Reaper, I like the reaper though. The light infantry is in progress, I'll post it after I finished it.
EDIT: sorry, something's wrong with my internet, I'll post it tomorrow.

Finally, internet's up again, I've updated the pack above, just added E1 inside. Mine looks crappy, Denmon's one is a lot cleaner. Enjoy.

I still don't like them, but that's just my opinion.

Agreed with dutchy, There is really no enhancement to the stock units.

Starkiller · Pyro Sniper **Joined**: 26 Nov 2008

I recolored them so that they look like the ones in those types of wallpapers and such. It's okay with me if you don't like them, I don't mind. Just a few minutes of simple recoloring.
EDIT:Yeahs, there's no enhancement, but it's just that it looks nicer in black and red instead of gray and red.

Looks good.

Oh, that doesn't matter, it's stil the same basic palette. I'm talking about making sure your final animated GIF still has that exact palette. A lot of animated GIF generators just kick out the original palette and "optimize" the palette with their own algorythms, even if all base images were already using the same 256-colour palette. I hate that -_-

Though in your case, it just seems to use one generic awful palette without even looking at the original colours. I checked another GIF you posted and it has exactly the same pal. What do you use to make these?

SHP builder's gif generator.

Try using GIMP or a similar graphic editor to convert your image into a GIF for previewing.

I simply use the SHP Builder to export frames to PNG (I usually don't include shadow frames in the preview). Then I use GIMP's feature "open as layers" which opens all the frames into one layer. Finally I crop the image and save it is GIF.

I'll try. Thanks.
