All I need are sprites of the final boss final form of LA. I need all off the hand positions please.

Eight views and no posts,come on!

Views don't mean much; I looked only becasue I had no idea who Deathl is (I never knew the name of the LA fnal boss until today), so this view was pure curiosity. Plus, the topic is kinda ambiguous- we don't know if you're asking or sharing until we click.

In any case, if you can find me a sprite sheet of him, I'll go ahead and rip him into ZQuest for you.

[creatorofchaos]

Heres a sprite sheet of him,I would snap him into zquest correctly but it won't let me rip his sprites.

[Linkus]

Sigh. People really need to understand file formats...

See, this image is in JPEG, which distorts the image, and therefore you won't be able to rip it in its current form.

[creatorofchaos]

It's a bitmap linkus. What I meant was when I go 1 tile under nightmare ganon zquest encounters a problem and has to close.

[Ricky of Kokiri]

Not a big deal; I'll just copy the thing pixel by pixel (MSPaint's grid option works well for that).

theZCking: What do you mean by "all of the hand positions"? Deathl's arms rotated around his body in a full circle. (Interestingly enough, in LA DX, the arm sprites flicker horribly.) To give "all of his positions" would be quite a task, so what do you actually need ? The eight compass directions?

Yup, it's a JPEG. Did anyonybody even try Spriter's Resource?

Thats the exact same one ebola.

The url of yours is http://i42.tinypic.com/2nsnnzm.jpg

The cake is a lie. The URL is not.

Ebola's ends with .png which isn't a recommended format for ZQuest but can easily be remedied with a color depth reduction with any image editing/viewing program, such as IrfanView, PhotoShop, and most likely the GIMP as well. But not MS paint for whatever reason.

[Alestance]

Tinypic apparently converts the image to JPEG format(which might be why creatorofchaos is confused, a similar thing happened already in another thread.)

Never use Tinypic. Use photobucket or something

Imageshack converts BMPs into PNGs, which I think also preserves the state of the palette. However, I have an older account that dates back to 2005, so it uses an older authentication method, and I don't have to deal with the ads attached.

Newer accounts use a newer account system and, of course, have ads.

Do a save-as on any .bmp file and make a copy of it as a .gif. That will solve any upload problems.

Do a save-as on any .bmp file and make a copy of it as a .gif.

With MS Paint, saving any BMP as GIF will cause it to tweak the pixels a fair bit, more often than not leading to a grainy look that would need to be corrected anyway.

See:

So, if you're going to save things as GIF in order to use them, make sure it's not with MS Paint.

.png which isn't a recommended format for ZQuest

I would recommend PNG for ZQuest.
