You may have MORE fun right now.

I just uploaded the HK Template Tool. This tool allows you to view your template and your work file, seeing it animated and allowing you to select between each of the eleven (11) minkoff-based action poses (Ready, Attack, Dead... etc). It even allows you to view the template or your own work separate from each other, all of which at 3 times the normal scale so you can witness it in finer detail.

It was made with RPGMaker XP. but works on PCs without the need of the RTP. A compressed/encrypted project, you have access to a 'Templates' folder in the tool's root directory which contains a Template file (the Sword Template) and a simple example overlay named "EXTRA.png".

Whatever template you put into this folder, it must be named Template.png. And whatever overlay you're doing, whether hair, eyes, 9mm Beretta, hospital gown, it must be named 'Extra.png'. You need to have both a Template and Extra file in the Templates folder for it to work.

What would be the point otherwise? Confused

Amazing what you can do with a bit of event code and some scripting.

ohhh Gunsmith Cats...I have 1 comic book of that. once you finish the WIP wpns, we can also make different wpns?

My dear Princess Sasami? YOU can feel free to start making guns! I already finished the female gunner template. And while I do plan to re-color the male gunner template (and extract the gun out of his hands), I have a lone 'gun/pistol' template you can already modify.

OOH, Don't forget to make the gun visible in the other poses, not just the attack/skill poses. I mean, wouldn't Rally carry the gun just when she's standing around or is feeling ill? She certainly wasn't in the best condition when facing against psycho killer Natasha Radinov.

Howdy all! Excited to be here and looking forward to helping if I can. I have old HKCP templates if you would like them for editing. They include templates for age (child to adult to elder), size (skinny to husky to big boned), muscular templates and also some ... large tracks of land... females. I can also just send them to you Der VVulfman if you think it would be easier to upload them. I am new(ish) to these types of threads so am not sure which is best/easier. anywho... looking forward to seeing everyones work!

Oh, I have them. Make no doubt about that. How long has MY name hung around the system? And I have a separate tool/thread for charsets. But this thread is dedicated towards making resources for sideview battlers based on ye Half Kaisers... standard ones for now.

**Ragus** · 08-05-2020, 12:48 PM

yeah... I didn't really think about it at the time of writing, but I feel like I should have. I have known your name almost as long as HKCP. And cool, makes sense to keep this seperate and I didn't really think about you having it other places i suppose. still, excited to work!

Check CharGen EX in the tools board. I uploaded HK packages, kids and default-body adults.

KAISER RE-KINDLING

Completely retooled, the Half Kaiser Battler Project now contains fully shaded body templates. For both genders, there are eight different styles based on the hero's combat styles: Axe/Mace, Sword, Gunslinger and more.

Each template's frames are now larger to provide better animations or more space for larger weapons.

All of the templates have exactly matching palettes. Granted, there is only one skin tone right now, but future skin variations should be possible at later dates.

The original sideview templates had a blue-colored area on the battler's head, presumably to depict the battler's hairline. The revised battlers no longer have this area. However, the blue 'cap' is now available as a separate headware template resource.

Weapon templates are still available in a work-in-progress state, covering only the attack and skill attack poses. Currently, only a dagger, some bows, a pistol and a rudimentary spear WIP are present. These are not finished products in the least. But that's why they're called WIP, right?

REMEMBER! ANYONE CAN CONTRIBUTE!

REQUIRED UPDATE

There were technical issues with the alignment of poses within all of the female templates. In each, the Hurt(#2), Woozy(#3), Defending(#4) and Item Use(#8) frames needed to be shifted a single pixel to the left. This simple repair ensured that the all the poses for the female templates were in alignment with the male templates.

Likewise, I had to readjust the blue cap resources to match.

Meanwhile, I just added new 'eye' resources, green ones for the Female characters and Aqua ones for the Male characters both Aqua and Green color schemes for both gender templates. And of these, there are two simple styles. Nearly identical, the 2nd style has a white pixel in place to simulate a reflected glint of light. And insofar as the actual colors, the color scheme used for these eyes are the same used by the old Half Kaiser Construction Project. There are still Blue, Brown, Indigo, Purple and Red to deal with. (Indigo looks more purple than purple...).

The shouts were heard

To TsunamiJurai: No zip files per-say. If changes are needed, the individually changed resource will be updated.

To themabus: There are differences between the Spear and Kung Fu ladies's caps. The kung fu character 'glides' to her target, so the cap actually stays in the same place in each frame. And there is a minor shift here/there during the idle pose. And obviously, there'd be changes in attack animations.

It may look odd, being made with RPGMaker XP, but that Tool in the 1st post really does work when testing alignment.
