(I'M SORRY IF THIS IS IN THE WRONG SECTION)

OK first things first, if any of you are like me, you've been itching to use GS4 characters in Mechabowser's PW Case Maker, but haven't been able to because the rom hasn't been leaked yet and you can't get the animations.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS!?

We're already in possession of the spritesheets. Anyone can get them off CR. So why hasn't anyone put those sprites through an animator yet? (Eh, they probably already have in the Prosecution Lobby/GS4 Section of the forums, but I haven't checked.) I'd really appreciate if someone could animate the characters for me (I'd do it myself, but I don't have any animation programs).

Characters I'm positive I need are:



Thank you in advance (assuming that someone's going to do this for me),
Yuki

I have a strange feeling that I'm wrong about this...

They are animated.

I should have been more clear in my post. Those sprites ARE animated, but not in Case Maker format (i.e. they're cropped, as opposed to full-size, and the talking/blinking animations are smudged into one, as opposed to separate animations for blinking and talking), and even if someone does try to use them, some animations come out blurry (at least when I try to use them for Case Maker). So instead of waiting for the rom, we could get the clear, full-size, Case Maker format animations just by putting the sprites through an animator, right? That's what I meant.

The rom has been out for longer than the game has. The problem is that the sprites are stored differently in GS4 than they are in the other DS roms (which were GBA ports), so the only rips available at the moment are single frames. I know it's not on the updates anymore, but I said a few weeks ago that I would change the GS4 sprites to match the timing and style of the others.

Except there are about 300 different sprites in GS4 alone, and splitting them up into talking/blinking will double that. If I match that to way they're coded in the first three games, each animation is anywhere from 9 to 40 frames. I'll leave the math to you.

It's a huge, time consuming effort. So if what you're really doing is volunteering to help, I'm all ears. :sahwit:

Thank you for clearing that up for me. I didn't think it made sense that I had thought of that and no one else did (because, infact, I am stupid). I wish I could help, but as I said before,I'll just wait patiently for the game, then.

BTW, this is totally random/off-topic/will make me seem even stupider more stupid than I already am, but who does this smiley represent? Please, I HAVE to know! It's been bugging me for weeks!

EDIT: Nevermind. He's the main character from Hotel Dusk, right? Never played the game, so I wouldn't have known, but I managed to figure it out.
