I don't really need help with them, but in case you are fresh with animating AGS characters and need help, use these sketches as examples!

And thanks Darth Mandarb, I'll remember that in the near future! I have lots of cools stuff I would like to share with the community! I don't just take, I give!

[Darth Mandarb]

For future reference ... if you're not asking for C&C and just want to share (which is great) you should post them in the contribution thread (sticky up top of this board).

[FSi++]

I share this template. It's not very complicated, some may say it's oversimplified, but for short games that's ok.
It's rather unfinished - there's only inventory screen and @overhotspot@ bar for GUI, no custom save/load things, Ctrl+Q to quit.
Broken-sword-style interactions (right click looks, left click walks or interacts), I think I finally polished it.
Comes with free Ted McBinky for your perusal (for more info, games won't download and not that I want it). If you want to make a game with him, you're encouraged to notify me about it .
There's also a (sample) title screen and (sample) room to try it out - should compile out of the box, allowing you to test its abilities!

[Stupot]

Useful stuff WWC... I may have to remember this when I get round to making some walkcycles of my own.

Empty Game 2 Template

Looking for a template you can use to "test out an idea" or do something cool without all the fluff of the Default Game template getting in your way; but the Empty Game template not compiling without some work getting on your nerves? Or perhaps you find that even the Empty Game template's global script seems a bit cluttered and bogged down...

The Empty Game 2 Template contains very limited resources to help alleviate your pains! I've taken the liberty of cleaning up the global script, removing unnecessary views, dialogs, etc. leaving you with an "almost" empty game. I've left Roger in just as a point of reference along with the default walk cursor. Throw in the empty room of darkness and you've got a functioning empty game!

NOTE: I actually created this with AGS 3.2 BETA 4 so it's unlikely to work with any prior versions! Oops! If I get around to it I wouldn't be against trying to grab an earlier version of AGS (perhaps even back to 2.72) to recreate the template in that version.

Anyway, enjoy!

[Chicky]

Babar wanted a tutorial out of me. This might help some people.

[ThreeOhFour]

Awesome! 

But (and I don't want to sound like I disapprove of the use of pink), if you use 32 bit colour and save your sprite on a transparent background, you can bypass all that bothersome tidying up and import with an alpha channel, sexy smooth edges and all!

Nice work, anyway!

[Ali]

I agree with Ben, a great guide! I also agree that 32 bit could improve the look (it might help to begin on a transparent backdrop too).

But if you need to use 16 bit and don't want to clean up the anti-aliasing with a brush, you should be able to tune the tolerance of the flood fill tool to do the work for you.

[Chicky]

I can never trust the flood fill 

[Synthetique]

I want to contribute with this character but i don't know a good place to upload it.

He's got talk and walk cycles in all directions.

[Chicky]

I remember that little fella!

[Synthetique]

Hehe I had lots of fun with him but since I suck at writing I might as well give it away. :\

[Matti]

I made this generic walkcycle just for fun out of a walkcycle of one of my characters. It's an altered version of Mr Colossals walkcycle, but with more frames and less exaggerated. Feel free to use it as a template.

If anybody is interested in another resolution of this walkcycle, PM me and I'll update this post.



Here are all the (scaled down) frames:

[Crimson Wizard]

Heh, thanks mr. Matti, I may use this as a reference to create decent walkcycle.
