Unit portraits ?
Unit portraits ?
I would like to retrive some units portraits in such form
But all I can get with fear is this:
or this ( by simple cutting from screenshot )
Any ideas ?

I believe the top graphic is from the manual or some such thing, which is why the detail is a bit better in it. I don't believe all units had those portraits in the manual though, but the portraits that were should be available somewhere on uDogs hotline, at least I think I've seen them there..
unit mug shots...
the interface icon has an alpha map that makes it transparent and load over the units mugshot image... its in the myth install tag...
not in the units tags..

if one does not learn from the failings of the past they are likely to suffer its return.
Re: ...
Nah, first I tought the same but now i rememeber that i dled first warrior in frame on black backgroud from old polish myth site. I also remeber that site had all units portraits - all high-res in frames and on black backgroud - from both TFL and M2 (in 2 frames types ). Ufortunatly site is down since january and I am left with M2 warr and brigad and TFL Trow onlyTheHelmet wrote:I believe the top graphic is from the manual or some such thing, which is why the detail is a bit better in it.

You mean the frame? Yes. But its just a bit of the background, and then the ring with black or blue in the middle (depending on which interface it is). Just pop open amber (or whatever you use to extract stuff), look in international small install, and nab the last item in "internal status bar XXXxXXX" (where the Xs are some resolution, the frame is the same in all of them).Tireces wrote:Is there any way to rip em out ?

So you want to manually put the image of each unit into the frame?Tireces wrote:thx. ok lets say that I have a frame already. Now I want to put a frame on non-frame potrait extracted with fear (vide warr pic #2 ) without hiding unit itselft and get portrait in fream (vide warr #2) . Any idaes what graph app and option should I use ?
Well to be honest, I would suggest going in game, selecting the unit, taking a screen shot, etc. It is gonna be the same resolution in the end...
If you still want to do it manually, just take the frame, make the inside part transparent, and paste it on top of the unit portrait in photoshop.
What DA just said. Go into Amber and open up the internal status bar collection and export that bitmap that has the frame in it, and then open up in photoshop. Copy the indexed image into a new document, or change the image mode to RGB. Save it in RGB as something like 'M2 Status Bar Circle-Frame', then with Amber open up any unit you want to have the headshot from, and find the 'headshot frame' (easiest to do by going into the unit's sequences palette then finding the 'headshot' sequence, and exporting the bitmap in there.
Once you've got all the headshot bitmaps, you go into photoshop and open those headshots, then open your M2 Circle Frame image, copy it, and paste it into a new layer on top of your unit's headshot. Effectively create the high-res headshot in photoshop.
If you have detailed questions PM me on udogs or here and I can give you details.

Re: Unit portraits ?
If you are looking for those _exact_ images I have a set from (I presume) the now-defunct Myth site.Tireces wrote:I would like to retrive some units portraits in such form
Let me know if you want them.
Lots of Myth stuff at http://mythgraveyard.org.
Sometimes I put hard to find stuff in my my Udogs folder.

Dunno why but after resizing ( lets say making smaller 30x30 pix ) portraits on black backgroud look very bad tho potraits I captured from the game look way better so Ill use screenshots pic after all...
Just compare guys..

Vinyl, have you got full set of poirtraits or only some of em. It would be great if you could post full list of pic when u have some time : ) I would love to use em on site.

It's hard to say since I don't know what you mean by "full set of portraits". I have (I believe) all the portrait icons that were on the old myth site I found them on, but I doubt that I have a portrait for _every single_ unit in Myth II.Tireces wrote:Vinyl, have you got full set of poirtraits or only some of em.
