160 x 120 Stage Converter

[shinra358]

Can someone devise me a program to turn low res stages into 160 x 120 instead of 320 x 240?

[nick09]

Uh.... Why 160x120?

[shinra358]

so that the whole stage can fit inside the bounds of the tv set so that way i can get a full screenshot and full animation of the whole stage so that i can use that screenshot in the zoom code

[nick09]

I would just get off my butt and do it manually as it is not hard to edit a stage.

[shinra358]

that's not easy. it takes time to do all that configuring especially for over 300 stages... (not so easy now is it : what? you thought i was just gonna do it for 1 stage?).

that's not easy. it takes time to do all that configuring especially for over 300 stages... (not so easy now is it : what? you thought i was just gonna do it for 1 stage?).

I would call a stage with 900 sprites for a animation not easy(points to one of my stages).

I use ALLSee to batch convert and resize all those sprites when I make something that requires lots of images.

ill look into that...
photoshop does that too....i forgot 
but what about changing informations in the def file of the stage? still takes too long cuz then ya gotta reput them in the sff in such. i need something like that person made that program to do all that stuff all by itself.

[nick09]

I never knew photoshop did that either. If you want the lazy route ask the guy who made the original program to do that.

[shinra358]

, i did already. still pending... not really lazy coming from me cuz i code too much now as it is... the gr8 one needs a break every now and then. specially when u get chars and then you put them in and then the next they they updated and you gotta do it all over again....tsk tsk tsk. i do this all for you all since no one else would do it so i think im being far from lazy. not utilizing teamwork... now that's lazy 

[nick09]

Well that is optimizing your work.

My Super Mario start screen(download on my site) has about 917 sprites just for the animation running at 30 FPS. The HI-RES edition that I made is near to 200MB.

I also add a black sprite behind it so character's movements don't appear messy.

[shinra358]

wow, that's nuts. i bet that stage is good too

[nick09]

wow, that's nuts. i bet that stage is good too

Oh yeah I forgot audio syncs with the animation also.

You can get it here(first stage shown):

The Hi-res version is down right now, so I will upload it as soon as I resolve a problem with mediafire.
