Presenting...SUGARLUMPS first bitmaps~!

I didn't release a single thing in that thread.

but your gonna...


ARGH nvm! you win!

Probably the image import having trouble calculating the correct color for a high contrast section of your picture. What image type is it in Halo? DXT2/3 or 4/5 maybe?

Sorry? I don't get that....

[Altimit01]

Eschaton has a custom image converter to take basic image information and create DXT formatted images (which is what Halo uses). The math involved in the compression is complex and Eschaton doesn't always produce the best result. In high contrast sections the errors are going to be more obvious due to the nature of how the compression works. There's a more in-depth explanation of what's involved here. You might try with HMT or some other tool.

Err, okay thanks!

[Rofldonutburger]

I'll tell you what screws up when you import images into different types of bitmaps:

DXT1: Nothing.
DXT2/3: Image screws up, mask/alpha is still fine.
DXT4/5: Image is fine, mask/alpha screws up.
A8R8G8B8: Nothing screws up! That's why I use it, but it takes up more memory.

I don't know about the other image types, since I never use those anyways.

Aye whats the bitmap tag for that shield bar that sugar was complaining about the fuzzy thingy

[Sugarlumps]

^Bitmap tag: HUD Background or something like that

Is it because i didn't use the mask but selected the image itself so it became fuzzy?

[Candy]

Sugar your trying uber hard to keep this topic alive ¬_¬

[Sugarlumps]

I just want u guys to see this:

Well its HUD and it involves bitmaps so it something of my creation that involves bitmaps. So posting here is correct

Rofl's HUD Template-i messed around...

Result:

First attempt


Fail

____________________

Second attempt



Better, and as Rofl said. In the light, its hardly visible and doesnt' get in the way of your view. In the dark, its more visible.

How can i improve it?

[Rofldonutburger]

WAAAY to opaque if you ask me. But hey, 10% opacity is already really opaque...

[Euphoria]

Hey can you post download links for these bitmaps? And the brute pistol too? Can't believe no one's asked yet. Much appreciated.

[Sugarlumps]

As much as i like my own topic, i can't simply allow you to bump topics whenever you feel like it. These bitmaps aren't that good, but if you want them, I'll get pie to upload for you guys.

*The visor isn't in the bitmaps. Its rofl's temp*

-Topic ends here, further posts please be made through pms-

The warthog reticle looks familiar... Ya know what? That map with all the bitmaps, reminds me TOO much of snowgulch. Im not saying you plagiarized. But it seems to resemble it.

[Sugarlumps]

Ya the reticule's idea was mainly from snowgulch, and thats why i didn't release it, cause that ret wasn't my idea..in a way.
