Random Talking Bush's Submissions

now that you mention it, umod1 only saves to dds and has none of the dithering. umod2 also gives no dithering if saved to dds, and you say texmod does so as well. maybe it's their default png setting that does it.

but either way, i've been using a freeware program called dds converter 2 to convert the whole batch of dds files to png at once.

i also made a script that does a "dump texture, wait, go to next texture, wait, repeat" with umod so i could get them in the same order umod gives them. this often helps with ordering since many of them are in more less correct order in umod, and only after dumping they get all random.

with that script if i order them by date of creation (2 second pause between the dumps is enough then) and then use a mass renaming tool, i get them all in a better order so it's easier to do stuff with them. i just have to wait around 15-20 minutes per sprite set to have the script dump everything for me and give the files correct time stamps.

I was pretty much doing that in a less automatic way, was going through them one by one gathering animations. Then using a batch processor for paint.net to export. But occasionally it's just been more confusing than helpful. May concentrate on getting full animations first, then go back and try and do ones which don't match up as well :V

I certainly don't have the coding knowhow to do a script :C

So yeah, the way I ripped them earlier is what made them dithered/flawed. Guess that means I just up and replace all of Reimu's sprites with proper ones once I dump all of the ones from the full game.

And I guess I'll be ripping Marisa's sprites next.

Cool, I've been focusing on the Final Boss last night, but in some ways, her incomplete nature (No Specials, no Spellcards, inability to play her outside of story mode) makes working out what some things are a pain. Gonna go onto Mamizou today seen as I can at least sit around in Vs.Com/Vs.Player/Practice and know what I'm actually doing :V
