I need some help.

Im planning on making a Hi-Res Project on Super Mario 64, and i ran into a problem....

Any ideas??:huh:

(B.T.W, I've only made two changes to the game, I started today and i use MS Paint(Probably the problem) because my GIMP 2.0 won't install(I don't have enough previliges on my file.)) AND the texture_dump thing didn't break into 5 folders.:ermm:

Don't know about your problem, but regardless of that Paint is not going to do it. Here's a few freeware programs that might be of more use to you.

• Artweaver (Many brushes, usefull for textures, easy to use. Freeware.)
• GIMP Portable (You may be able to install this one without admin rights. Open Source)
• PaintStar (Not sure, but looks to have lots tools and features. Freeware.)
• Paint.NET (Easy to use, has all basic fuctionality. Freeware)

MS Paint isn´t able to make the background transparent.Therefore you have this white box around your trees.

if it comes in a .zip or a .rar i can get it, but i cant use install wizard or whatever its called.

 

[DC-Rulz]

i think its working, the gimp portable one, its installing now. Thanks!!

 

[DC-Rulz]

YES, IT WORKED!!! Thanks alot!!

 

[BCage]

No problem.

 

[DC-Rulz]

but i still have a problem, how do i make it transparent?

 

[Datadayne]

ahh, I used to use gimp. I think I remmember, turn on alpha layers.

Then use the eraser and erase all the white.


If you have photoshop, all you have to do is use the background eraser tool.

 

[DC-Rulz]

thanks alot, i'll see if it works...... how exactly do i turn it on, when i go into Layer, i go down to Transparency, then in there it says, Add alpha channel, color to alpha, semi-flatten, Threshold alpha, alpha to selection, add to selection, subtract from selction or intersect with selection.

I allways use to get that. But heres the diffrence with Jabos 1.7 and Rices one.

Jabos Dump Files

Rices.

PNG All

RGB Files

Second.

See the difference with rices you need those files in Super Mario to get them to work in the emu.

I got it working and changed the trees, they look a little better, but i think the butterfly looks awesome.

Im planning on changing the tree, but im going to go work on something else for the pack for now. :happy:

 

[Datadayne]

pretty good man. But theres still a bit of white around the trees.

 

[DC-Rulz]

Yes but as I said,

Im planning on changing the tree, but im going to go work on something else for the pack for now.

So far, now, I've Changed On The castle: The Stick Fence is now a white rectangular fence, the bricks have been changed to more realistic white bricks, and as you walk in, past the red carpet i have changed the tiles.

In Whomp's Fortress: The Bricks where the water is, the flower patches and the grass.

And please, ignore the trees.

You know you can resize the textures.

 

[DC-Rulz]

ok then, so i dont have to make them as small as they were?

 

[Datadayne]

you can increase the size x4 x3 or x2.

Say the dimenstions of one texture was 32x32, you can increase the dimentions by 128x128. Rememmber, only x4 x3 or x2.

 

[DC-Rulz]

ok so how do i resize them in gimp, because when i do in there the canvas gets bigger then i tried to change the image, and the size the original image was, stays the same, so do i delete the image first then change the image?

 

[Driscol]

you cant resize something 3x. only 4x or 2x.
