Custom Health Bonus Sprites

Recommended Posts

i am again asking for help for another part of a wad i'm making...

I am looking for a custom health bonus sprite of a visable image of brisk iced tea...

but every time i crop the image to 14x18, i get a crappy low quality photo...

Friend, 14x18 means it is 14 pixels by 18 pixels. You literally cannot have a high quality image that is 14x18. I'm sorry :(

 

Perhaps it is possible to scale it down, but I wouldn't know.

Well i have seen stuff where someone got some image and put it on a small texture and it looked fine!!

Perhaps you meant scaling? You have a large image but the engine downsizes the sprites so that they appear smaller?

What you need is someone with epic photoshop skills, they could get it done. Although, you can do it yourself by using hires replacements of the health bonus sprites. Slap your higher res versions of the BON1 or w/e sprites into HI_START/END. Should work.

Sounds like you are actually resizing, not cropping. If you want it to look good, you have to create an image (or find an existing image) that is already at the right size.

This here. ZDoom can take an image meant for a sprite and scale it down to whatever size you want and you won't lose any quality. In fact, this is what most people do (myself included).

There are free graphic editors that are pretty much equally powerful, such as GIMP.

Honestly you'll do a better job than anyone could here as only you know exactly what you want.

 

If I were you, and if you genuinely do want a 14x18 sprite (I.e. aren't using Zdoom) draw one yourself using a full picture as reference. 14x18 is just over 250 individual pixels, not an overwhelming number to work on. MSPaint will work fine. At that resolution, simply writing "Brisk Iced Tea" will take up almost all your pixels. It's a tiny image after all.
