Recolor/Revamping Sprites

To be honest, I absolutely love the graphics in RSC, and continued onto RSCR. There are some things I would like to see updated tho, maybe you all feel the same or maybe not. But I wanted to start this little thread to at least start the discussion. By no means do I want to completely change the Classic and Nostalgic sprites we all know and love. But I do believe 17 years later, we can improve on some graphical type ideas and hopefully add content to our beloved game.

My First suggestion is a very basic one, that is the wood in-game, they are all one color.. Its not a terrible thing and its not a huge deal by any means but its a small change that might be really cool. I have made a couple different examples, one is just simply recolored, the other is a little bit of pixel editing with the recolors, please tell me what you think about this. I would love to extend this to the bows in-game and hopefully the animations shown on the characters.

**So I was thinking today about another potential item that could add a lot of potential variables to the game, the Crossbow. I have a couple of ideas about this topic, the first being should it be craftable?, (all hypothetical talk btw this are just my thoughts about it), I can't entirely answer that question.. On one hand it would be awesome to see people with that upgraded weapon slot, but on the other hand.. that leaves no room for adventure, how it could be structured is the "limbs" of the crossbow are dropped by various mobs and then the Crossbow is able to be put together by a skilled fletcher, that I think is the most ideal way to structure the introduction of this "Improved" Item. I will also be adding upgraded bolts in a later edit, remember none of this is actually happening in-game, this is just to discuss and maybe produce some thought about what we could do as a community.

Runite/Magic Shaft

(No wood color is permanent, simply prototypes, I believe the colors should be selected entirely by those who enjoy the game, if there is any color palate that people think should be used please suggest it that would be awesome.)


The Next thing I will be attempting is Herbs, I think the idea of unidentified herbs is absolutely brilliant, they should all look the same and remain the same color, however when you identify them, they then could have a different color, because you cleaned them off and identified them as such. What do you think about this idea?

What does everyone think? Personally I like the idea of differentiating the logs. On the other hand, the tree trunks are all basically the same color in-game, so there could be some conflict with changing the colors.

That's a great point Billy, I'm sure its possible to either change the tree texture, or what could happen, could leave them and make the outside of the bark relatively the same, and make the center of the wood have the visible difference.

This certainly would avoid any inconsistencies... very curious to see if that would look any good.

I completely agree. I love RSC graphics, I think they trump any other rscrevolution graphics ever. But the color schemes could be changed / adding some opacity and darkening some of the outlines. I work with 3D graphics, I wish I knew anything about sprites cuz i would love to make a couple big_smile

I like the idea.  I think if the logs are changed, as said above, the center of the trees as well as the bark should also be changed.  I mean, if we would make the change to the logs, let's go full on and rework it as a whole big_smile

And match tree/log color to bow color too... Oak blue, Willow Yellow, Maple Orange, Yew Red, Magic black.

+1, this looks great. I've seen it somewhere else long time ago.. Can't remember where. Not it actually happens, but the suggestion smile.


I like it to stay Classic, and this isn't a new item added with alot of things, its just a visual upgrade which I personally really like! Make it happen, also i've been wcing for days now haha. So I would love some new tree's wink

Thank you for the support! Heck yeah, whatever can be tweaked, as far as colors and stuff that is totally doable. If you have a certain palette in mind I would gladly change them up a bit and put up more samples.

I like the reworked logs keeping the outer the same.

I agree with the herb colour change. Definitely keep them the same colour when unidentified though. I don't want to see anything like grimy herb, herblore coming near our herblaw.

I think this is a great idea. It will be really cool for the game. RSC Looks the same as it did 18 years ago. I believe a change like this would be not only visually appeasing, it would make keeping track of things a lot easier. You can tell Fingle has put a lot of thought and effort into this Idea and I hope it gets considered by the admins/mods

I realy like the idea of changing the inside color of the logs but think changing the outside bark color would be a bit tacky.

I also love the bow grip color based on the type of logs that are used and the staff tops depending on air, water, earth or fire is great!

Your work is amazing! big_smile
