Ripping Sprites

[DeadByDawn]

Does anyone know an easier way to rip sprites from video games. I currently print screen and take them to flash to get them. Is there a way to hack into roms and take the sprites?

[y3llow]

Nope, the fastest way is the way your using.

[DeadByDawn]

Actually I have heard of software such as snesx and snesrack but they are very ellusive. I know that there are people here at newgrounds that know where to find them, if anyone can help me I would be very appreciative.

There are stacks of sprites in every position you could need all over the Web and easily accessable if that helps. Try ShyGuyKingdom - that's where I get mine.

Thanks but I have this thing about using sprites someone else ripped. It just isn't cool with me.

Thats just plain stupid! I have not ripped ONE sprite in all my time of animating.

Well...
That's just plane weak. I feel like this. If I am going to do a sprite movie. Granted they are hard to make. But the art is done for you. So if you don't rip the sprites your self all you are doing is putting together someone elses work in a different way. Fine fine. But if you rip the sprites yourself then you have done considerable work. I consider this topic closed. I have found my answer.

Oh I forgot to mention. How can you be the Newgrounds official sprite master if you havn't ripped one sprite yourself. Seems kind of lame to me. It's like saying hey, I am the official flash man around here, but I take all my actionscript from someone else.

[Pootie-Tang1]

well can you tell us your answer then? I would also like a prog that rips them out with ease

Lol, you are quite the hypocrite arent you?
If thats the way you put it then arent you just rearranging someone elses work using flash itself? WRITE YOUR OWN DAMN ANIMATING PROGRAM!

Hehehe, you are really stupid. Even if you rip the sprites yourself then you are still using someone elses work, you just wasted time on getting it, also the only person on NG that can animate sprites as well as me is DuckyOfArlacon, and he seems to have left.
Making me the master.

[nikr]

[Skybert]

Sprite ripping software sucks, its so unstable. Just rip them yourself making the backround black and rip it yourself. Thats what I do and it works fine with me. Just get the right teqhnique and it goes fast as hell

[DartDragoon666]

[DartDragoon666]

how do u get rid of the white box

[kode0001]

You cut it out... Break it up and cut the edges or trace bitmap and take it away.

[DartDragoon666]

i did trce bigamap, and dots apear on the sprite. after i try to drag the white off but the sprite is still attached

what do i do........?

[Skybert]

I dont really know whats the prob, but you try to delete the white box, or you just forgot to Deselect the items, this is kinda how it should look like when you trace a bitmap, to trace a bitmap select the image you want to edit go on "Modify" on the top tool bar then you choose the options under:

[DartDragoon666]

ok its works , i got a backround from a site but when i paste the sprite without the white box on it the sprite goes behide the backround so what do i do next if u dont mind telling me

[kode0001]

Adda layer above it... lmao

[Overlord-SB]

I suffer from the white box problem also. I have Flash 5 and I got Paint to do my spriting with. Anybody know of any solutions for somebody in my situation???

Do what Skybert said. Just trace the bitmap, then delete the "white box" around it. Simple.

I agree it is good to use your own. There are also sprites that have not been ripped such as the grand battle kukku sprites(from Tail's Adventure: Game Gear)I'm doing the same thing so that I can rip these...
