Frame = Picture [Recorder] & a picture into tileset?

[Zarnik]

Hey I wonder if someone knows where to find a program that records frames on screen and then turn those frames into pictures. If you see what I mean...the movie scripts are too laggy...

Like print screen feature every tenth of a second...

Also is there anyone who knows a program that can take pictures (Any size) and turn them into tilesets?
You would help me alot if you can provide me a link... :smile:

There's no program that can just TURN THINGS into tilesets. You'll have to chop things into 32x32 squares yourself.

As for the first question, I just don't understand it that well. I think you're looking for a script that will take a screenshot of the game and save it into the pictures folder? I'm pretty sure that's possible, I think I've actually seen it before. Try searching the forums if you haven't already.

Sorry for my english, and what I mean is that instead of using laggy avi scripts. I would like to split the movie file into pictures, for example if I had a movie that was 5 seconds long I would divide it into 50 frames. One frame is tenth of a second. So one frame is a picture. Then when I would like to show the movie in the game. I could use the picture command.
<>Show Picture
Picture 1: frame 1
wait 1 frame
Picture 1: frame 2
wait 1 frame
Picture 1: frame 3
wait 1 frame
Picture 1: frame 4
So im playing the movie by showing pictures. But to do this I must devide the avi file into 50 pictures so it runs smooth.
And I will need some kind of program to do that, I wonder if someone know any program like that.

Oh, so this isn't an RPG Maker thing at all so much as you are looking for a program that can split up AVIs into their individual frames?

 

[Zarnik]

Yeah so is there any program like that? I think Ive heard of one awhile ago.
But I havent got any idea where to find it...

Windows Movie Maker. You can Import an AVI,  then in the preview pane, advance 1 frame at a time, then use the "Take Picture" button (lower right).

It's not automatic, but it's free...

Be Well

It doesnt work, I cant advance one frame at a time...its not that accurate. Ahh, what a pain... :dead:
EDIT: Sorry it does work, thanks alot for the tip! :cheers:

If you have flash, you can save as progressive images (I think that's what it's called).

Well, as for pictures into tilesets thing, you could use TileGrabber from the RPGTookit. Here's a link.

Zarnik, at the bottom of the player, there are the buttons: (Play, Stop, Rewind, Previous Frame, Next Frame, Forward).  Use the Next Frame button.
If you see the time indicator changing by more than 0.01 seconds, that's because there is less than 100 frames per second.
I edited a 15fps .avi, and the indicator jumped by 0.07 with each frame.

Be Well

OMG, Im finished...a 15 second movie turned into 300 images O.o
Next time I do this I must find a better way to do this it took me 45 minutes...for 15 seconds...
and now I have to edit the pictures and convert them into PNG plus insert them into RPG maker xp.
This will take awhile, but it will own the intros of the shit games with just a message command in the
beginning. By the way if you wanna see here is the images...

thanks alot for the tile grabber, that will help me alot...and next time I do a movie sequence
Im gonna see if theres any way you can do this faster...:D

 

[Grathea]

Well, next time couldn't you just use something like this?

 

[Zarnik]

Already tried, and its so buggy. Some movies play fine. But the ones I edit in movie maker, is always displayed outside the test window. And this runs much much smoother, I gotta say this is awesome. I can upload the intro when its finished if you want. And by the way...maybe this is too much too ask, but if someone got some time over you could edit the pictures in the folder:

And make the little frame black and smooth every image out in either photoshop or GIMP. Lol Its ok..if you want just do it! LOL...Im all for it!
It will save me alot of time... :cheers:

 

[Grathea]

Well, as to the movie maker thing... WMM standardly exports in the .mov or .wmv formats, but the script is designed for .avi format videos. That might be the source of your difficulties.

 

[Zarnik]

Really, naaa...I remember that I converted it into avi format.
Anyway this works just fine, it runs really smooth and the filesize of all the images is just 23 mb so its not a serious problem...23...hmm...
ahh who cares.... :crazy:

Sorry for bringing this up again, but the tile grabber you suggested. Where can I download it??
