EZ5i skinning competition

[MegaAce™]

I finally managed to finish my animation of the top screen. (Which took me about 5 hours, YES FIVE HOURS! o.o)
But it looks epic now

But eehhh..
When I exported it to .gif
It lost LOTS of quality

Flash CS5, am I doing it wrong? (

)
I really don't want to start over :/
(FIVE HOURS!)
But even if I have to start over, what do I need to change?
I used photoshop CS5 for the creation of the basic image, and animated in flash.
Please help me, I can really use one of those carts

Edit: For example, the quality viz got with his theme is great

But mine has random non-fitting pixels in it :/

Animation goes frame by frame, you have to put every frame on a own picture (.bmp) and then compile all your frames to a splash.ini with Makesplash.

I LOVE the one on the left. I'd submit that one.

Hey guys,

I seem to be having a bit of a problem with the skin editor.

Spoiler

As you can see above, my icons are all in place, but in the top-right of each an every one, there is a single blue pixel. This pixel is definitely not there in the actual image, its being added in by the skin editor.

Anyone have ANY idea why? It doesn't show up when I use bitmaps, but I really wanna use transparency.

 

[viz]

i get those too (see my previews)

relatively sure they go away when you compile the skin

Ahh, OK. Is there any chance that someone with a card could check for us?

Try making the full pack and then check it out, i think it will not appear (i got a single block of those on the .ess file, but not on the .dat one ;D)

Urgent Question!


I've compiled a series of 32 bitmap images to serve as my splash animation. I set them up as instructed in the tutorial (splash000, splash001, splash02, etc.) and edited the splash.ini to 32 FPS.
The problem is, I open MakeSplash and open splash.ini only to get an error message and no splash.ani.

After a few tries with this, I edited the names of the bitmaps to different names (EZP000, EZP001, EZP002, etc.) along with the splash.ini and still got the same error.


I need this splash animation to complete my skin and could really use some help.

sounds like the same problem i was having

bit of discussion a few pages back if you wanna look into it

but in my case photoshop was saving as the wrong type of .bmp files and they had to be converted with ifranview or something

Skin Name: EZPaint

Preview Images:

Additional Notes:
- The splash animation should run a bit faster on the EZV as I set it to 32 fps, this is simply a preview.
- In all honesty, it reminds me a bit of a Zaku II (if anyone even knows what that is)...

It's not a secret to anybody, but the kernel is based on moonshell 2.0b5 code.
Is it? I thought only Kernel v.1 was based on it, but 2 and 3 were written from scratch.
The fact that Kernel v.2 & 3 is unable to play music and videos (IIRC) proves me right.

well, it's not really a proof. The team has taken out all multimedia part in respect of moonlight's work.
Mean you need to launch moonshell 2.10 to be able to read multimedia files.

By the way, my username is UniqueGeek, not UniqueGeeks, as mentioned in the second post of this thread. Confusing, perhaps, because my website is UniqueGeeks.net.

Fixed, thanks for the heads up.

p.s. Do I need a new account for Filetrip? I cannot use same account for login.

Yeah, there is sadly no user's database link between GBAtemp and filetrip. Just register the same account nickname on filetrip.
If it's already taken by someone else, add a number at the end of your nickname.

Yes, you need a separate account. I made one just for this contest.

Also, you may want to fix the preview.

Dont worry, this is only related to ESF. Not appear once compiled.

I just found a minor bug in EZ Skin Forger RN81 and asked Cheryl Natsu to fix it.
She has done that quickly, thanks to her.

Ez Skin Forger RN82 is available now on filetrip (same link than before).

For the story, the file list color bar was not applied to the file FL_Double_ItemBG_Select.png in /makesin/template folder. Mean, its color change to default blue when we switch to big icon mode.

Sorry for that guys, but could you please compile again your skins with this version ?

 

[ThePowerOutage]

I've started my skin from scratch, I didn't like how the colours looked.
Anyway, how do you change the time and game name back ground? I want to make them look translucent for something in my new skin.

I'm not sure to understand your request.
You have a color field in ESF when you click on the time or game's name : Hex value RGB at bottom right.
Now about the background, it's a picture file so why don't you modify it so it fit to your wish ?
