Updated my initial post on the ice blue colors to include what I’m currently going with + Rush / Rush Drill.

So as a sample since I know Pablo was curious, here’s what I did for Black Iceman:

I could not have done this without my own desperate interpretation of Eidrian’s excellent work here.

As always, these just represent my baseline. I’d be very interested in seeing and learning from other people’s improvements. :tup:

EDIT: I found a bunch of the Rolls in Megaman’s palette, but I’m pretty confused by where they’re placed. Logically I’d think Megaman was sorted (LP palettes, LK palettes, …), so I may have mistakenly identified palettes previously… ? Oh well - we’re moving forward with progress here at the least. Generally Roll shows up just before every time you see the “Magnetic Shockwave” Megaman colors.

ok guys i have updated my album with some new chars

go take a look, some of them i threw together at the last minute so i could have a full 6
like Capt Americas last 3 are quickies and morrigans last 2

i have some more that im putting together but these are what i have right now

Album

Ok I might be a dumbass for asking this but 2 questions?

A.On the new Palmod. How do I preview my work? As in my preview button doesn’t work.

B. How do I make my music files small enough to fit on the disk? when I convert the files from wav. to adx they inflate.

1264

go to the site on the first post, it tells all
and the preview button doesnt work for some folks… if it doesnt work on the new version then go to the old one… if both dont work ask suupabuu

1265

Do you have the img.dat file in the same directory as palmod? If you don’t, no preview for you.

Palmod should probably pop up a warning/failure if that file isn’t found. =\

1266

Preppy, some of your colors are misplaced. The first 08 is not an actual iceman color. it’s all messed up. Also, the correct numbers to edit him are: (LK color)

LK: 08 LK, (28, 29, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E) Extra *- For costume *// and if you wanna make it truly complete, you might wanna edit these as well:
02 LK (Extra - 0B) - Main Color
03 LK (Extra - 0C) - Taunt (Bobby Drake)
04 LK (Extra - 0D) - Intro (Melting Letters)
05 LK (Extra - 0E) *- Special Moves (Icebeam, Avalanche, Arctic Attack) *

Some notes on this, 08 and 28 are the same (Main Color), the rest are just shine effects which are basically brighter colors of 2 boxes moving around the ID values on the extra variants. This also applies to Silver Samurai, in case you’re wondering. I’ll get a surprise up soon.

**EDIT: **If you can’t work the new version, get the img.dat from the new version and overwrite it on the older one. This will get you working images of both Iceman and SilvSam on preview.

1267

Actually yes…because I had the old version and it worked fine. But I never saved the old version to my computer.

1268

Anyone having isues with red characters? Mine show up as really bright, completely eliminating any shading/details. They look fine in pal mod and look good in Nulldc. Maybe it is my tv, but I am not sure. Another color that gives me some trouble is bright green. I probably need to just darken these colors a few shades.

1269

I backed up the v1 release here if you want to try that again.

1270

Good looking out.

1271

Damn I haven’t had anytime to work on these, but I did add an Orange Storm!

I’ll try to bring a few copies to ECC.

1272

Found out when you have MAX ram (4GB) on your computer, sound recorder (making custom mvc2 music) does not work as far as editing, cutting songs, etc. i couldn’t figure it out until i swapped in a new computer with 4GB of ram and still got the same problem. I tried 3 GB ram and still the same problem, once i got it down to 2GB of ram sound recorder works (removed 2 1GB sticks. man that was some real boo sheeet i went through. i wonder if anyone else has had that problem?

so my question is does anyone know of another progam thats easy to use for increasing volume and editing songs?

cause i don’t want to keep swapping in and out my ram to get the sound recorder to work. btw the message i get like ( not enough memory, need to shut down one or more applications…)

somebody help this nigga out :sweat:

1273

wtf…

uh, audacity, fruity loops, audition, soundforge, premiere (lol), uh virtualdub, soundbooth

no idea how many of those are free but I think those should work.

1274

this thread got pretty confusing

is there a tutorial out? or a how to?

or am i not looking hard enough?

1275

I use Nero Wav Editor, it comes in whatever with the Nero Suite, and it is good.

1276

Geronimo’s color edits

Lemme know what you guys think…and if there are any other characters I should try.

1277

that white sent is nice :tup:

1278

all the colors seem to dark… there wasnt too much color on alot of them
the black white thing is ok, but too many people have done it. we like to see outlandish colors and such. but good stuff still

1279

That’s a surprisingly good green Storm. The green hands on green Tron are good too. I like Gold Doom/Cable too. :tup:

Don’t save your image files as JPG, use PNG instead. JPG files are particularly lossy and that’s why you’re getting color-bleeding around the edges of your characters. =)

And hey, I like normal looking characters that just have better outfits. :smile:
