Looking for a spriter
I'm doing a atmos shapeup: http://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=189 and I'd need some spriting help.
1. A updated pump sprite, both volumetric and regular. The idea is to remove the red direction ribbon because it looks shit with the colored pipes feature I've made. Here's my take on it:
However it's abit unclear and could probably be better.
2. A new gas flow meter, the current is quite bulky and old, it neither seems like it's a part of the pipe but just slapped onto the pipe like an overlay.
This is my take on it:
Colors are merely examples, it looks shit with a brown background.

Re: Looking for a spriter
While you got great talent, it kinda looks like a rasta hat and not a meter, the meter-bar should be more visible and the lights should be smaller with perhaps proper borders.
As I said, it's only an example and I'm not sure how much you can fit in a 16x32 area.

Re: Looking for a spriter
I'd much rather see something more compact akin to how the pumps already look. How about something like this? (Shitty Paint.NET skills away!)
(I know you won't be able to get the meter that detailed but it conveys the general idea across.)

Re: Looking for a spriter
That's pretty good. What if you run a Gas Temperature Gauge along the other side of it, from dark blue (space cold) to blue (cold) to green (Room temp) to yellow/orange (Hot) to red (Plasma fire hot).
Move the pips from the pressure meter to the center of the pipe, then compact it all in. Add a different coloured pip at 101.3 kPa (100kpa) and at 20 C.
Edit: Also, a 'Broken' meter, for Pressure, Temp, and Pressure + Temp. For if (when) you get something off the scale - Scientific notation in the pipes, for example.

Re: Looking for a spriter
Well now it just looks kinda...tumor-ish. Touch up the overall shape, from 'Two blobs' to 'One oval'
Like so, but with less MS Paint and more sprite.

Re: Looking for a spriter
Looks really good. Lastly, could you show how it looks like as a 32x32 icon and 64x64?

Not really sure what you mean by 64x64

Re: Looking for a spriter
I, amongst others, have the x2 icon setting ingame, so seeing the x2 scaled icon gives a better visualization.
I'll make use of this certainly, could we get some final input from someone else though? Does it look less like a tumor now Psyentific?

IMO it's a bit too massive.

Re: Looking for a spriter
If I understand pipecode correctly, the gas doesn't really flow in any direction in the pipes. Multiple segments of regular pipe make up pipelines. The actual pipesegment has no x amount of gas in it, but the whole pipeline has x amount of gas. Thus you can't really measure which way gas is flowing.Myroc wrote:Fund he.
