pallid wagon
the dilemma is, some games have color values going from 0-248 but sometimes, especially in emulators, then they get stretched to 0-256
i've been using the 0-248 line the whole time since it's divisible by 8 and is probably what goes on inside the console of choice, even converting from the latter back to the former
but would it be more accurate to use 256 or 248 coloring? mainly in referring to games from the (as far as i know) SNES, GBA, DS
faint rain
People won't probably notice if you don't but use the 248 coloring
There are some very specific cases where this won't be the case to begin with on DS though
I present to you the thing
But it's not common
pallid wagon
I present to you the thing
i see the thing but it still follows max-248 rules so idk why you gave this to me-
faint rain
While it does, it doesn't follow the normal rules
pallid wagon
i'm also a little curious on the specific cases on DS
oop i found some pixels that are a little off on the rgb values
faint rain
Well, with this one, it comes from a game called Cocoro no Cocoron. While this looks like a sprite, in the game it's actually saved as a model, it has a bigger palette than usual.
While some of them follow the rule without any issues, some of the textures don't do so much
And have some anomalies
pallid wagon
hm ok. that's a very specific edge case i haven't seen yet, if it can even be called an edge case
faint rain
You know what you can just forget about everything I've said because I've discovered a quite harsh truth
It does still follow the rule perfectly
This is an apicula issue
pallid wagon
oop i found some pixels that are a little off on the rgb values
does this still count as following the rule or nah, B value is off by 1
faint rain
This is going to piss me off for a long while now
pallid wagon
You know what you can just forget about everything I've said because I've discov...
man i just exposed the harsh truth to you completely unwillingly
im gonna implicitly annoy you every time
faint rain
I compared the apicula rip of one of my models to the textures I ripped manually myself apicula fucks the values completely
Ugh that's such a pain in the ass
pallid wagon
NOOO i somehow shared the annoyance
welp to be honest it's better that it's known as soon as possible than later
also i guess if i imply things within my brain i guess this rule could also work with the NES and Genesis as well but i don't think i have much experience with that
faint rain
As soon as like 800+ models I have ripped ☺️ I'm going to destroy apicula
Back to re-ripping all of the Tongari Boushi student textures manually I guess
pallid wagon
oh god better get to it
or at least better find a tool that rips it better automatically
faint rain
also i guess if i imply things within my brain i guess this rule could also work...
Iirc they are not the same
faint rain
or at least better find a tool that rips it better automatically
They are in packs
With every chunk of the pack LZ11 compressed I have to do it all manually
Gladly though I actually don't have to do that because I was smart to keep the raw copies of everything
But I still have to go one by one which is annoying but nowhere near as it would be if I had not done that
pallid wagon
Iirc they are not the same
nah the genesis divides in 4s and not 8s i checked again
welp
g'luck on that, i'm gonna manually fix the Superstar Saga battle ratings revision's colorings when i get to it
faint rain
nah the genesis divides in 4s and not 8s i checked again
I know Saturn does do 8s because of my behated
faint rain
g'luck on that, i'm gonna manually fix the Superstar Saga battle ratings revisio...
Thanks 😭
Hopefully maybe I can sneak some animations alongside the models this time around
pallid wagon
Thanks 😭
ngl it honestly feels like if i lit a bank on fire so i can withdraw my $5 from it
also! you mean animation gifs right
oh for models never mind
im not in the models space
faint rain
I found a few animations that do work with the models I've ripped a while ago but the textures are all inaccurate because of apicula
pallid wagon
sucks
faint rain
The only reason I realized this is because the moment I noticed something was not matching right with the math on the values even on the other bit depth I compared the apicula texture to the face motion file (which I ripped myself because of the lack of BMD0s)
pallid wagon
you keep quite a lot of manual backups
faint rain
The only reason I realized this is because the moment I noticed something was no...
One is messed up the other is completely fine
And it's still so stupid yet so infuriating
They look the same yet they are not the same
faint rain
you keep quite a lot of manual backups
Tell me about it I have like 8 copies of all of the Miitopia models because I keep breaking them while modifying them sometimes
pallid wagon
i might sound like someone you already heard this from but like
could you just like, not save the model while modifying it
and you close it and open it without saving and it is unaffected
faint rain
I hex edit them
A backup is already made of them by default but sometimes I already break more over the messed up model, also lots of scrapped retextures I've done in the past, nothing that has really anything to do with ripping (even though I could probably upload almost all of it if I wanted I don't recall the Miitopia page being very complete)
