Nmn Posted February 15, 2006 Nice job Corrupted Marine. It's not really the method I use (the biggest difference is that I paint on either black or grey background. Cyan is too harsh for eyes ._. ) but I like how it was presented. The format is kinda hmm.. uncomfortable. It'd be better if you just posted the guide on the forums rather than in a doc file. Good job nevertheless. 0 Share this post Link to post
CodeImp Posted February 15, 2006 Does this also have the first page telling us how good you are and similar ego tripping? hehe :P Edit: Read it and its not bad actually, but like Nmn said, you could work on the formatting and choose another method of distributing (PDF or HTML is easier accesible by most people). 0 Share this post Link to post
wildweasel Posted February 15, 2006 I've posted news about this at the Doom Armory - that should get you a little more exposure. 0 Share this post Link to post

Well since I looked at the document and saw it could use a bit of sprucing up, I took the liberty of providing version 1.1 of this document. I know the images aren't all cropped perfectly but oh well, I'll leave that for him to do. Available in pdf and doc format: http://mancubus.net/files/doom/docs/cm_weapons_creation_1-1.pdf http://mancubus.net/files/doom/docs/cm_weapons_creation_1-1.doc.zip (doc is about 9mb unzipped, did some cleaning/cropping of images) 0 Share this post Link to post
ellmo Posted February 16, 2006 Okay, I understand this is a very simple and basic guide, but could you extend this version to something for extra newbs? where to find the neccesary tools? How to determine layers/masks? What amounts you type and where? You see, the most advanced graphic editor I've used so far was MS-Paint. Seriously. I have installed PSP X especially for purpose of learning how to do simple game graphics. 0 Share this post Link to post
SyntherAugustus Posted February 16, 2006 I checked it out and it looks pretty simple. I'm printing it out for my own use :). 0 Share this post Link to post

Mancubus II Posted February 17, 2006 Anything that can help people create their OWN weapons instead of continously using the same sprite rips over and over again can only be a GOOD thing. Edit: Whoops posted right when I did. You're welcome! (P.S. check your PMs) 0 Share this post Link to post

As for now I'll play around with Doom sprites... so I'm going back to my Steam Demon. 0 Share this post Link to post
