Monkey Mania Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 It's not just about re-using the CMI backgrounds, it's the story, voices, characters, music, etc. Hopefully, if this actually goes anywhere, LucasArts wont shut it down. If it gets shut down, then so be it. But right now, let's have some fun.
Aububuh Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Roland MT-32 Soundfont http://www.aep-emu.de/temp/MT32-8MB_V02a.zip Thanks, now I just need to figure out how to use it. I'm using GarageBand 09. Do you know of anywhere I could get instructions for how to install it? I've only been able to find them for 08 or older.
Jackpumpkinhead Posted April 20, 2010 Author Posted April 20, 2010 okay this was ridiculously easy to do i may just opt to do the backgrounds this way still teetering between doing it this way and redoing all the backgrounds i may post a poll on it
Fealiks Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Looking good, but wouldn't you have to redraw the grate thing in the foreground in order that Guybrush doesn't appear to walk in front of it?
Aububuh Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 This looks pretty good, but you might want to make it an even lower resolution so that the characters seem a bit bigger.

Laserschwert Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Looking good, but wouldn't you have to redraw the grate thing in the foreground in order that Guybrush doesn't appear to walk in front of it? No, that will be handled in AGS by drawing a mask for the grate.
Fealiks Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 No, that will be handled in AGS by drawing a mask for the grate. Ah, okay
Aububuh Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 Garageband should support sf2 files. You just need to unzip the file. Yeah, I get that, but I'm not entirely sure which folder to put it in, or how to access when I do. I'm a bit of a noob at this sort of thing, sorry.
Jackpumpkinhead Posted April 21, 2010 Author Posted April 21, 2010 The background needs to be cropped not stretched. yeah i am having some trouble getting the size right i am just using paint and a program called idraw
Scapetti Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 yeah i am having some trouble getting the size right i am just using paint and a program called idraw http://www.gimp.org Use that, but honestly, I do worry a little of your technical know how... by all means prove me otherwise though. I'm just a little worried atm

BloodnoseThePirate Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 i started working on a concept for a possibility of an idea for a canon room background. ill probably just put up my sketch when im finished. which might be in a couple minutes.
BloodnoseThePirate Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 heres the concept of an idea blah blah. i did this in literally half an hour, hence the sloppiness all i really tried to do was get rid of the curves, except for the left wall because ... its a ship. i would enjoy any advise/criticisms you can dish out.
Monkey Mania Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Backgrounds are in a wide 320x144 So if you are designing the backgrounds keep this in mind. At 320x200, the background is going to get stretched to a 16:9 ratio. 2x 640x360 3x 960x540 4x 1280x720 Create the backgrounds in these resolutions, then you can scale them down without warping.
Monkey Mania Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Whilst I'm all for the 'classic feel', wouldn't we want to make the game window larger for playability purposes? Or am I just misunderstanding your post? I'm sorry, this the "old school edition" of CMI, am I correct? So it should have the same layout as the MI1 and MI2. Wide screen at the top and UI at the bottom.
Jackpumpkinhead Posted April 22, 2010 Author Posted April 22, 2010 Monkey Mania is right the size of all of most of the backgrounds (i say most because there are some backgrounds that scroll to the sides so the are actually longer) in MI1 and 2 are 320x144 heres the concept of an idea blah blah. i did this in literally half an hour, hence the sloppiness all i really tried to do was get rid of the curves, except for the left wall because ... its a ship. i would enjoy any advise/criticisms you can dish out. i thing this is great i started making a pixel version of the cannon room this moringing i had the same idea that you had as far as getting rid of all of the curviness of the background except for the far left side. i found this really great program for creating pixel base art called graphicsgale it is only shareware but if you know where to look you can get it for free:thmbup1: but i think that i am going to buy it i really like what you have going on here i think i am going to be making some changes to my version though hopefully i will have something to up soon
BloodnoseThePirate Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 yeah that was a last minute thing i did, i didnt put that much effort into it (i didnt bother changing the size) i just wanted to show what i think the general look of the room should be.
Scapetti Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 i found this really great program for creating pixel base art called graphicsgale it is only shareware but if you know where to look you can get it for free:thmbup1: but i think that i am going to buy it I really do suggest using GIMP. It's basically a free version of Photoshop. Very popular program and I use it for everything I do. It's extremely simple to work with pixels on it, you just need to zoom in and use the pencil tool and then you can do sooo much more. I just can't stand shareware XD You don't need to pay for this kind of stuff... it's really a con :/
Jackpumpkinhead Posted April 23, 2010 Author Posted April 23, 2010 this is just the beginings i have been really busy so this has been taking me a long time to finish
Cyrus7 Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Will there be new plot elements and puzzles or not?
Monkey Mania Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 Since Part 1 was only a couple of rooms, why not extend part 1 to include escaping the carnival?
Snugglecakes Posted April 25, 2010 Posted April 25, 2010 I'm really starting to like where this is going.
