Spelunky - The Forums

[Hayden]

yeah I know what you mean. but I think it's fine.

(I would rather have a white H)

Like I said -- That's just an example.. I can make a few sprites, white, and black. See which one turns out better..

I also have to make a blue one for when the H lands in the water..

[halibabica]

Spiders already have a subdued color scheme, and we can spot them just fine.  I think the first H you posted would work.  The gold dots make it stand out even though it's dark, much like how the spider's red eyes work.

Just to point out, but Spelunky doesn't use GMs built-in collision detection (AFAIK), so you can't simply change the hit mask. On the other hand, it does collision detection using bounding boxes, so it's not too complicated to change.

I am fairly sure it uses masks however, even when it uses it's own collision detection.

It's very easy to solve.  I'll just change the collision bounds in oSpider.

Man I wish I noticed this post (and looked into it) earlier on...

Name? Dudemaster

What will you replace?
Magma Man (guy that jumps out of the magma)

What will you be?
Michael Jackson from the classic Mega Drive/Genesis game!

(Link to the .GIF - please create the sprite from this)

Why do you want to replace that?
Michael Jackson was awesome. He was an absolute pioneer of music(overall) and was a mega star who I was a big fan of. We should all remember him. Also, the sprites used in that game were awesome!

Notable traits of the replacement?
Maybe he jumps out the magma doing his signature spin.

To hit you, he does the finish(where he holds his arm out and jumps on the floor)
OR, because there is also an annoying massive blue flair coming out of the ground,
grab the frames that have him headbanging OR the other point where he sticks him arm out, fairly early on in the animation, although I'd prefer the finish or the head banging.

This image can be flipped of course to point the other way.

Thanks!

Wow, that sounds tricky. And I think it's meant to relate to you.. Something that people should easily be able to look at and say "Hey, that must represent Dudemaster!"

Damn, I like writing that in bold font. I have to admit, it stands out.

Anyway...

It's very easy to solve.  I'll just change the collision bounds in oSpider.

I take that as a yes, that a H will be okay?

Edit: Attached four sprites 16x16 in the post.. One is for the sprite, with the shadowing, you can change it if you want, by the way..
One is for the same above, but blue-ish greenish for in the water..

The other two are the same, but they have gold dots down the sides.. Well, the water version has blueish greenish dots.

Admittedly, the water one with dots doesn't look too different than the one without, but look closely and you'll see.

And if you want me to change the type of file it is, tell me. I should be able to manage it.

DOUBLE POST!!!

That's a side effect of using Opera Mini to send posts (sorry about that).

EDIT: I've suggested Bodyless as my character to represent me. Please go to my thread that started the pokemon argument.
