Uncle Mago Needs You!

Hey people, I'm Mago, the lead artist of Scattered Evil Team, and I'm here to send a request: Since the project demands a great amount of artistic work, and right now some of our artists have been unable to work as hard as before, for several reasons, I talked to RambOrc and we decided to ask, here and in the website, if there's anybody browising around who would be interested in working with us and help us out. This way we would be able to add every improvements we planned without any delay, which would be great for all of us fans. So, if you are a person who likes Hexen/Heretic world, have a little knowledge about sprite editing (just the graphics, our coders take care of the programming <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/orc2.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> ), be it with Paint Shop Pro, PhotoShop, or whatever program you like, and are interested in joining us, answer here. Thanks.

Good to hear that. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> I don't know if you are experienced in working with Wintex (a program to retrieve various data from Hexen's wad, including graphics/sprites), but even if you aren't, you could download that, read the small tutorial about sprite editing in the help file, and pick a sprite to alter, if you are not certain what you will do to send us. This way you would be working in the graphics size Hexen's need, and would be training while at it. Anyway, just send us anything you want! <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> PS: RambOrc: sorry for disappearing again, but I'm having trouble to finish this final work delivery for college, so I went underground a little bit. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> I'll return when I have some solid work to show.

well. i'm not sure if i have what it takes. i've never done anything like this before. but i know i can do lots of cool stuff with PSP and i really -want- to help. Well i'm just waiting for mago to get the email i sent him. I've had some problems with making WinTex run at all. But im not gonna go into details here. thats why i emailed him. heh.

Posting here too would be a good idea as our programmers might be able to help you faster with WinTex/WAD probs (I'm not diminishing your skills in any way, Mago <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->).

Ok! heres a slightly rewritten version of the email i sent Mago. [color=blue:3jtnvciu]"About Wintex. I got Wintex5.0 or something like that off some resource site. When i got it it said i needed a certain "VBRUN300.dll" -O.K then-, i thought and got it off dll-files.com thinking everything was going to be allright. I got it and put it in the game directory Problem solved. Then a new problem arises. Now it asks me for "Threed.vbx" I did a search for it on Google.com and got it off some random site. I put it in the game directory and i try to start wintex... Success! Happy that i made it work at last i create a new Pwad and open it. -OK. It's empty. but maybe that's what the "Add all sprites" thing is for. I use the command and now i get a new error message: Error: Can't send commands to DeuSF. From this point on i have no idea what to do and i am now asking you for help. Will you guys please be so kind as to help me with this? I really don't know what to do."[/color:3jtnvciu] I use windows 2000 if that any help. my processor is 1400 mhz and i have 256 mbs of ram. shouldnt be a problem to run any application (games are a different matter but lets not talk about that) I hope you guys can help me

<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.filefront.com/?filepath=/ravengames/ravengames/heretic/wintex.zip">http://www.filefront.com/?filepath=/rav ... wintex.zip</a><!-- m --> try this version whether it causes the same probs

Well, I'm not sure about the version, but it may count too, so it wouldn't hurt to try another download, as RambOrc suggested. Anyway, I already answered and there's an explanation about how I do to select and access the files I want, so you might want to take a look. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> Hope it helps.

I got you a solution that may not be the best, why don't you open your hexen.wad file and take any sprites you need selected and click edit, then click copy, then you create a PWAD file and paste them there?? that's easier than working with all the sprites and the file will be smaller then, what about that??? <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) --> I hope that is useful for you <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
