All right this challeng is for someone who is bored and/or has a lot of time on there hands. This Involves Graphics and editing pictures. Like i said before there will be a 20 or so Reward (30 if i think it was done really well).

I want, I want someone, I want someone to, I want someone to Edit the grp of the......... Marine!

I would Like the Marine to Have Zealot Swords.

I dont care how you do it. or howmany frames are in it i just Wantit done.



Think 20 Minerals

I wouldn't do this for 100 minerals. Do you realize how many frames there are in the marine and protoss *.GRPs? Not to mention the iscript and everything else...

You're talking about someone editing around 250 pictures then putting Iscript programing behind them to make it work. That's not something you do lightly.

Yeah thats why i dont want to do it. and ide do the scripting.

125 unique frames, for 20 minerals?! You must be joking...
It isn't just adding the zealot blades, because marine is holding a gun, so to make it look right you would have to redo his arms, if not the whole marine...

again thats why i dont want to do it. (you could just change the zealot. putting the body overtop of the zealot. Remember Im making it a new unit)

Offer more minerals and I'll do it. Like 500 - 1000 is worth it.

hmmm...
there are many just simple ways that don't need to edit each all frames by manual

here are some ways what i know exactly...
1. composit and use PS Actions or GIMP Script
- first cut n copy/paste zealot's sword from origianal frame
u just need 17 angles image so just copy 17 frames
but might need frames much more if want animated sword

- match picture position between marine and sword
and just insert one to other layer and save

- ok... record Action that workflow if u use PS
or write GIMP Scripts if u use GIMP
and make one those for repeat to all images but u need to attention to file names ,format and systematic

2. use 3d software
- this way is very simple first make each all images to animated file
such as avi or gif or any others
- array that animated zealot sword and marine into 3d software
and match angle
-modelling sword and texturing and just rotate as fit to turned angles

-rendering to BMP image or FLC animated file
- save all to 8bit BMP and match pallete by Actions or Script with use PS,GIMP

Actually i use that workflows for my Threekingdoms mod
i had creating all unit grp by these mentioned Actions and Script with use PS,GIMP
PS Actions easy to understanding
GIMP is difficult a little but it's make anythings without limit as u want

aight~! that's it

dude, but i'll not challenge to ur offer cuzz that's worthless
so that's fool around though it there is simple way

referring my explanation and rest is just ur task
and try work by ur self that would be more good for u
Anyway... Good luck~!

Although this is not an exceptionally difficult task, I would also say that 20 minerals is waaay too low price. When you come to a mechanic and say "I want my car completely repainted and have black flame-a-tags for 1$" do you think he'll accept? Make it worth the effort, and 300-500 is the absolute MINIMUM if you request anything, if you ask me.

right~! i agreed with u

btw wat's minerals ? is that like point of Creat Card ?
what that for ? anyway i dont't need minerals

I dont have that much minerals. unless i can some how do stuff for you to pay off a det and give you all my min untill i pay 350? or 400? what do ya say?

ADDITION:
nirvanajung.

you do it for free?

i can make spare time to Free
but but but.. i'd like say again as what i said before
dude...i'll not challenge to ur offer cuzz that's worthless
so that's fool around though it there is simple way

Anyway... Good luck~!

So, i take that as a no?

that's right~! is that was need to answer ?

Oh, it's not entirely worthless to add zealot swords to a Marine. I actually think it would be kind of cool that the marine have both a range attack and melee combat. With some iscript changes you could make it use both it's rifle and it's swords, depending on the target's distance. It is a neat concept.

It does seem like alot of work though, since the marine is carrying a gun all the time, he never holsters it or anything. So it could be hard to make the animation look like it's drawing swords. I'm too lazy to make changes like that -- I don't think I have that kind of patience.

Not for 20-30 minerals, anyway.

Ye man of knowledge hath spoken.

Hey, once I get like, triple the minerals I have right now, I'll be able to afford a shiny name like yours. And then I will be cool. Minerals clearly aren't pointless.

More on the topic though, it might actually be easier to make the marine have a warp blade, like the dark templar does. It could be kind of like a bayonnette on his rifle; It's easier to edit a two-handed swing into the marine's grp, doing some kind of merge with the dark templar's attack, than it would be with the zealot's psi blades. Just a thought.

then u try that....
