Ripping sprites from Undertale? - Filler - 10-14-2015

How would one rip sprites from the game?

It's a Game-Maker game, so I assume it used some sort of weird format.


RE: Ripping sprites from Undertale? - TomGuycott - 10-14-2015

I'm actually interested to know if this is possible. Battle sprites usually have unseen black outlines that are visible when there are background elements, and then some enemies have animated parts, so ripping them from screenshots isn't really the best way.


RE: Ripping sprites from Undertale? - Filler - 10-14-2015

Battle sprites have black outlines? Never guessed.

There's also another issues, the creator of the game doesn't want people to rip sprites due to spoiler issues and such.

If I ever do rip any sprites, I'll wait 'till the game's hype tones down, so I can somewhat respect his opinion of keeping the spoiler-tastic sprites secret.


RE: Ripping sprites from Undertale? - TomGuycott - 10-14-2015

Oh, then yeah, don't even rip them if the creator is asking for them not to be.

That's disappointing that the creator requested not to rip from it. Definitely avoid it if that's the case.

The really sad thing is that...

Eventually people will rip them. That's just how people work.
Sad

Yeah, Toby Fox did leave this note in the sprite files (checked for myself, so I can verify) so I think I'll respect his wishes and not accept anything from the game for a year.


RE: Ripping sprites from Undertale? - OS-PRIME - 10-14-2015

Can we rip them for at least private use?

Of course private use is fine (there's nothing stopping you, really). I just won't be allowing the sprite rips on tSR for now.

He has stated that it's acceptable to upload the normal, non-spoilery stuff. Just saying, in case you particularly want to rip from the game and show the basic sprites off.

The sprite sheets wouldn't be complete in that case, but I suppose it could be done that way. But what's to say what's spoiler-related and what's not? (I still haven't encountered Asgore yet, for instance, I'm pretty sure just his sprites would be a spoiler.)

Not to mention that even the main character's "true" name is a spoiler. (I'm 6 hours into the game and I haven't discovered that for myself yet.)


RE: Ripping sprites from Undertale? - Dazz - 10-15-2015

I suppose that's true. I think we should all just wait.


RE: Ripping sprites from Undertale? - Carpaccio - 10-24-2015

Uh, well...technically speaking the question is HOW to do it, and not SHOULD we do it...I've completed the game several times and wish to have the sprites for personal reference use for fanart...


RE: Ripping sprites from Undertale? - Skyla Doragono - 10-24-2015

Depends on if the creator used Gamemaker's standard encryption or went with his own. Or didn't bother. Only way to know is look into the game's assests in the Steam folder.


RE: Ripping sprites from Undertale? - Filler - 11-17-2015

Sorry to bump this thread, but I did get the sprites ripped, but due to the issues above, I'm not posting them, and I understand why, too. So many odd sprites.

It's really chaotically done, that's all I'm gonna say.

I did find what looks like an unused NPC base, tho.
