You have it like this:

You are supposed to have it like this:

video 1

Now, make it video 2, and you'll see the screen size is bigger the next time you play the mod.

Thank you NickyP,Thats great advice but does that help improve my characters sprites as well?how can i implement 800x600 to sharpen there graphics?
Again Big THX!!

[BALDOGON]

Hi everyone,im still having trouble fixing my sprite,cuz there looking choppy. Is the a program for me to make my character graphics clear and not choppy!!
any software beside GraphicsGale Which is not working for me unless im doing something not rite?
HELP Please?!

[Plombo]

800x600 and 640x480 don't improve your graphics automatically.  Using them removes the need to make your sprites smaller.  Making the sprites smaller is what's making them lose quality.

Also, I've never heard of GraphicsGale.  I use GIMP to manipulate images.

[BALDOGON]

Hi everyone,just wanting to share my progress on my mod!
So far,i managed to downsize Hi-res Kenshiro a little with the help of Plombo for helping with GIMP(which is way better than GrapgicsGale), NickyP,kmilloz,maxman,Bloodbane and everyone in here for there support!Also,Big thx again to NickyP for the stage he provided for this mod!!

Please feel free to any ideas or improvement!
And again Big thx to ALL!!
You can see the improvements here!
Now and Before!!

It is recommend that you use 16-bit colour depth.

If you want use 8-Bit, you need to understand what is a colour table or palette.

As for size scaling, I recommend -50% or +50%.

Below is the example of image reduction (12.5%) from 100% to 50%.

 BALDOGON has entrusted me to work on his mod so I'll be updating this thread.

 Not much to show yet aside of this shot below. I use high resolution cause Hokuto no Ken sprites are big and fit that resolution. I have fixed couple basic stuffs to suit that resolution.

[BALDOGON]

Great shot update Bloodbane,way beyond my skills but ill keep on improving to continue my part!!Big Thanx Bloodbane!!!

Having Bloodbane working on a mod is the guarantee of a mod being completed... and HnK deserves a great mod!

Keep this project up Bloody

 Anyways, time to show screenshots without using attachment:

 This is Kenshiro performing rapid jump kicks, he doesn't fall while doing this FYI:



 This is Jaggo shooting at Kenshiro:



 2 regular enemies, Jager (performing knee strike) and Bull (ready to smash):



 This is Lollipop with his earthquake attack. Suitable for 1st stage boss. Oh the name is from fat enemy from Violent Storm.



 The background for above shots are ripped from 5th stage of Undercover Cops for arcade BTW. Fits perfectly to this mod .

 This is Baatu, enemy which is inspired by 1st boss of Gekido Advance:



 if you have played that game, you'll understand how tough this enemy is .

Bloody, do you plan to have some edits on enemies sprites? for example, jagger could be a regular enemy with only few changes...

Do you really resize them with any of the Photoshop program? Or is the resize scripted using numbers in coding? I just don't seem to understand how it works.

The attachment image is resized with Adobe Photoshop CS3.

As for drawmethod, you can reduce the size (32) from 256 to 128.
