Title: The Matrix
Post by Chris on 11.11.2007 at 03:31:10
Yes, i start a new Mansion, the Matrix. I have see the Movie yesterday, and then i have become to make a new Mansion of that. I don't know how looks this mansion but that's not really easy to build on this Matrix. Someone have an idea to i can build this?  :-/

Mikee, you cannot expect other people to come up with ideas for a new mansion for you.  If you don't have ideas now, then just wait until you have some.  Let school come first.

Don't worry, I'll help you come up with Ideas.

I've talked with Chris on MSN and this is my suggestion and he wants to do it..
Start the mansion with jack (or neo, I might be able to make a neo for you) in a building.... and go through buildings in New York, through a big skyscraper, and down the other side, or something.

yeah, you'll have to get custom graphics, like green bricks and those numbers in the background.

Title: Re: The Matrix
Post by Wingy on 14.11.2007 at 09:08:17
Custom Graphics? Sure. Here's what I've made so far for Chris.

-Movement of Neo going left and right (not jumping, pulling lever and stuff yet)
-Grey bricks, layer 0 grey bricks, Red Bricks
-New York Background

I have to second brell's comment !!

Apart from that....  Wingy, I really like the Neo character you've designed !  Is he already "playable" like a normal Jack ??

And who is gonna be Larry Fishburne ?

You two might want to take a look at the "green room" #17100 of my Palace Of Gore.... there I have used a green background that would work good as a Matrix-type background !

hehe wingy that's a very very very very nice work from you!!!! That's beautiful the neo! :D

Title: Re: The Matrix
Post by Wingy on 15.11.2007 at 02:29:12
Neo isn't done yet... just made movement (left and right) and jumping. The objective of the mansion is to make your way through new york and get to that subway station... and the winning spot will be a phone booth. Sorry, I'm afraid I can't think of a way to make Neo and Mr. Smith fight at the end!

Since the winning spot is a phone, I don't think that there will be a place to make that background...

Post by Mikee on 16.11.2007 at 03:08:11
That's no problem but i have see when you long stay on the same place comes jack, or when you turn the lever on the first room, as example or when you crouch. Can you that fix?  :-/

Title: Re: The Matrix
Post by Wingy on 16.11.2007 at 10:08:38
I said I have only finished him moving and jumping. Im working on the other parts. Sorry, I didnt get around to working on it today. I was playing Fable on my MacBook after I installed windows XP. :P

Title: Re: The Matrix
Post by Mikee on 18.01.2008 at 02:44:36

Jeez, whenever I make custom graphics-no matter how hard I try- I always get a white barrier around my objects!!! Your custom graphics look very good by the way.

Title: Re: The Matrix
Post by aquaMat on 18.01.2008 at 23:13:34
Sam,

this "white area" problem has been discussed quite extensively in the past by JoeB. Please take a look at the old "Custom Graphics" posts and ReadMe's he has written sometime last summer......

The reason for this effect is that somewhere in your custom graphic there are some pixels (usually close to the border of the pictured object) that are not really, totally white.

BTW, we started a Matrix mansion last year but we're going to trash it cause we don't want to bump heads with you guys. The empty starter mansion I'm going to post this weekend may have some bricks (NY Brownstone, lath walls, pipes) that you could use. And NO WHITE Outlines.....

;) ;)

Title: Re: The Matrix
Post by Mikee on 19.01.2008 at 05:18:45
Hehe joeb that's a nice idea. Can you show me that graphics when you will use it for the matrix please?  :)

Title: Re: The Matrix
Post by sam skelton on 19.01.2008 at 05:36:24
Yeah, I check for the colours to be 255, 255, and 255 but it always seems to turn out white. Anyway, I'll figure it out.

Hehe. Yes, there was a bit of white around Neo for the first bit, but I managed to get rid of it. The background of the picture that is NOT going to be in the game MUST BE white. If it's still wrong then you've obviously got the wrong shade of white.

Most of the times, I use a pixel tool and hold down Shift and make strokes to draw. And then I add the colors- which could add a bit of antialias stuff. Some of that stuff, could be off by one shade of white.

BTW: I just use the eraser tool to get rid of this extra white. It's always white, well, for default. :P

Ehm Wingy what's about a next background? Specially for sewer maybe? A techno Background for rooms or else?? :-/
