Need Help Finding (Better) Sprites!
Posted: Wed Oct 20, 2010 12:50 am
Hmm...well, the forum says everything non-Etrian related, but this seems like the best place to ask this, since it isn't specifically limited to any one game in the series...
I mentioned something about cutting out EO sprites in the Coding Discussion thread. The question is, where to find them... Now, I found this nice website that already has all the EO1 sprites ripped straight from the game (with transparency already taken care of, I think).
So, cool, that's all taken care of. ...Or is it?
There's two problems with this. One, the very right edge is cut off from every sprite where it would normally cut off in the game's window. Two, they're small. Compare these Hexer sprites I found:
[spoiler]
Left: Picture taken directly from the sprite sheet. On the black background, you can even notice the very minor blue bits around her outline.
Right: Picture I found randomly from google image search, which has neither problem of the game-ripped sprite.[/spoiler]
So, since I found this random picture on Google (among several others), it led me to wonder...where are other websites getting these high quality pictures from? It's not from the EO website, and they're not ripped from the game... I even tried looking at EO wallpapers (specifically for Hexer), and they can't even be ripped from there since there's a big, white, fancy mark covering over several characters' legs (if not all of them). If I had a good scanner, I'd just scan them all from my EO3 preorder artbook, but even then that wouldn't cover the alt colors... So if anyone could help me find a source for all of these (or at least from one game), I would be grateful. If all else fails we can just try to "collect" all of them one at a time, but I don't think google image search will find some of the less popular characters...
