Playable character mod: Schala

[RoxSilverFox]

Too leveled.  Head needs to bob, hair needs to move

agreed

[RoxSilverFox]

That walking sprite is utter perfection. Just needs a bit of a hair bounce. What happens to her hair when she walks in Chrono Trigger as an NPC?

Almost nothing... she walks very levelly, with great posture and such... much like any other royalty, Nadia notwithstanding...

Correction "nothing" happens with the hair

[Satoh]

could you by any chance, animate Lucca's original sheet and place it next to the Neo-Schala sprite...

I want to compare both walk animations side by side. It's a good way to determine precisely what may or may not be negligible in the final product... My guess is that not much head movement is necessary in the north/south walking animations, becase the sprite will be moving up or down the whole time... (if the head is already moving down, it won't seem like its not bobbing enough)

This works in some games, in others it doesn't... hence I need to see how much Lucca's head moves.

EDIT: Haha, you should hack an ending where Crono marries Schala instead of Marle XD;

[FaustWolf]

I'll be damned, yeah, Schala's hair moves just a bit in the left/right animation, and not at all in the north/south walking animation. Keep in mind though, that Schala's entire body sort of bobs up and down by about a pixel or so, which hides the need for extra hair animation.

BTW, there's an excellent collection of NPC animated sprites for download here:

Yeah I suppose I can do that.

Haha that would be funny Schala marrying Crono and having Marle just standing to the side

Here you go Satoh hope that's what ya meant



You may have noticed I removed the antenna off the sight scope it was bugging me.

[Satoh]

Yes that's what I meant, notice how neither of their heads really moves?

[RoxSilverFox]

Yeah, although I could do this sorta thing



Notice how the hair sorta looks like it's shining

I thank Justin3009 for that (used his schala heads and noticed the shine)

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

Doesn't Crono's head turn a little left to right when he runs, similar to what Rox.SilverFox is talking about with Schala?  I can't remember for certain...  Hold on, I'm not gonna be lazy.  I'll check.

...

Never mind.  Crono sort of bobs.

Anywho, the Schala sprite is coming along quite nicely.
