Thank you very much

I don't understand how to make a gif with the bmp files. I know they are just the frames of every animation in the game, but why are some pictures missing some parts? How am I supposed to make a gif with those?

To make gifs from bmp files, you first need a gif making program.

I'd recommend using ImageReady. It comes with Photoshop.

You'd take all of the bitmaps and put them in a single folder and import them into ImageReady all at once.

As for pictures that are missing parts, it really depends on which Viper game you're making gifs of.

Most of the new ones have sections of an animation with a big blue area. Basically, you're supposed to delete that blue area and overlay a frame ontop of it in order to make one complete image, which is considered one frame. The blue areas appear transparent when a Viper game is running so that different layers of animation can occur.

Sounds like a lot of work. Thanks you

I was messing around with Graphaholic last night and found out how to rip individual animation frames from the Viper games.

O_o

Pretty neat, huh?

I'm not sure if anyone's noticed, but finding animated gifs of Viper GTB is near impossible these days. I think at one point there was a full set of Viper GTB gifs floating around the net, but it's all but lost now, though you occaissionally see gifs of Viper GTB floating around on 4chan.

Anyhow, what I'm getting at is that if I could extract all of the individual frames of animation in Viper GTB, then afterwards I could reanimate them into gifs, and after much hard work, we'd have a full Viper GTB gif set.

Of course, such a project would take hours, as Viper GTB is one of the longest Viper games, not to mention all of the time that would be needed to extract each file individually, and then the time it would take to reanimate, quality check, and so forth each file.

In anycase, I think the possibility of being able to extract any animation from any Viper game is pretty amazing in itself. So far I've only tested it with Viper V16 and Viper GTB, but if happens to work with Viper RSR, or some of the newer games like M3 and M5, then we may be in for a treat after all.

And, to show that I'm not joking, here are some animations I made myself after extracting the necessary files:

http://65.98.68.194/~hyperguy/images/viper_gtb_gifs/akira_slave.gif

This one's pretty awesome. It took 40 minutes to animate:

Hmm, what program do you use to animate GIFs? I use GIFAnimator but it only joins the different images and I can't do anyhting with those that have blue background. I know I'm supposed to make that translucid and then set the background but this program doesn't have that option. Is there any free program which I can use?

Ask Oniichan if you can't get Divx to work. :O

Oh damn, is it too late to ask for these ones again? >_<

I can upload them somewhere like rapidshare but have to as HG first since he made these.

Such a program is among my many projects. I can open and edit individual image frames, but I don't yet have it able to put a sequence of images together and to resave them as a gif (probably the most complicated part due to compression)

So, you're saying that you can't paste all the GIFs to make an animation? If that's it why don't you try GIFAnimator, it takes like a minute to make one. I'm a newbie at making animated GIFs, in fact started 3 days ago, but with that program is simple. As long as the only thing you have to do is paste them and not make anything translucid or change backgrounds whcih is the thing I can't do.

Rai · « **Reply #250 on:** January 17, 2007, 08:38:26 pm »

All the viper animation files have the transparent parts marked by a solid color (I assume you mean transparent since translucid isn't a word, and the closest thing it sounds to, "translucent" doesn't make much sense for gif animating), so as long as you're using a program with a transparency marker (which you should be, an animation program without a transparency tool is kinda useless) then it's pretty easy. They make it hard sometimes when there's no clear indication of how the animated part lines up on the background (like Bravan's fist in my avatar). It's a bit tricky, but a couple screencaps of the animation in-game and some improvisation and it comes out looking close enough at least.

Hence the need for something better. My app's intention is to automatically handle the background transparency and support overlays such as eyes and mouths (and, of course, Bravan's fist)

Does anyone still have the english version of grapholic? The download link isn't working.

1) You can't link to 4chan images. Find a place to upload a copy.

2) It's a hack. It's Cala's head on top of an image of Saki from F40. We've seen better jobs than this.
