Creture creation

[Chris Parks]

I’ve just looked at starting a critter from scratch and I don’t know where to begin. I intend to use the wasp pictures from FOT to make the mutant fruit flies in the EPA. Are there any instructions anywhere of how to do this? Or maybe somebody knows how to do it? The pictures are already extracted so I need to know what to do from there.

Thanks.

Are these what you're looking for?

No, what I'm looking for is information on how to make new critter art (from FOT for example) and place it properly in the game so that the critter walks, runs etc. and has all the required animations.

I want to create a brand new critter (fruit fly) using the FOT wasps. I normally use Frame Animator but I don't know the naming conventions for critter animations. Also, when converting the tactics pictures to fallout pictures, the colours are awful and don't match.

Any ideas?

What tools to do you use for the image conversion?

Well, there seems to be a converter from FOT to FO in the downloads section. Here is a link to it

Not sure if this will help if you are trying to create your own.

Then again there is also a FOT to gif converter.

I knew that I've read a thread about it sometime ago. This should fix your probs:
