Well, I know the rank set question ("can we have more of them") came up some times in the not too distant past... but I have a serious (more or less, that is) suggestion for a new rankset I would do if (a) there is some interest in the community and (b) there is a chance that it will be accepted by the admins, that means, I won't do it if you (admins) say, "We don't need any further rank sets. Off you go" or something like that.
So here's an example (that is, I would place it for 20..30 posts):

What do you think?

Have fun,
Blacky.

Actually, more ranksets are welcomed greatly. Provided, of course, you have enough to go up to 5000 posts.

And fix that animation. The flashing white BG is ugly.

Ok, then I'll start working

The white BG is fixed now. The reason for this was that I only could preview the images on the win explorer's white background before I posted, so I missed out that the BG was white and not transparent in one frame...

Terranigma is a big game, so I don't think I'll run short on sprites.

Have fun,
Blacky.

Seems good, I'm tired switching from Mario to Zelda. And I don't use Gunbound because I them since they confiscated my ID for no reason. So yeah, I'd probably use it.

Ive never played Terranigama, but that purple ball dude is awesome.

I think everyone would be glad to see a new rankset.

I could put together a rankset based on FF1, if there's any interest.

And if so, what exactly is the procedure for submitting a rankset?

Just get everything together, label everything correctly, provide some notation on the order and posting, and then tell Acmlm that he should be getting the files soon...

Thats the instruction I got for my KSS im making rankset anyways

You make a set of animated GIFs, make some good names for them, invent some good post count constraints and send that all to an administrator, preferably Acmlm... at least I think so.
Btw, I could also do an SD3 rankset... but only when I'm done with this one.

@KATW: You've missed something... seriously... if you want, I can post an IPS that makes SMW to Terranigma. (I think this is legal )

Not all of the ranksets use animated GIFs.



Anyway, I'll do that then... I have some spare time today, anyway.

Here's another one...


The chicken (which is not an enemy at all, in fact) could be the lowest rank (for 1..10 posts).

Sounds nice, since the sprite sizes obicously fit; of course forgetting larger enemies like (stationary) bosses. More ranksets = just more good

Yes, definitely welcome if you come up with a good set (with all the images, names and post numbers) Fyxe's Zelda set is a good example, but you don't have to use the same numbers ... also try to avoid using large images (like more than 100 in width or 60 in height), but the two you posted so far are good


... and yeah, the rank set option has been there for at least a month already, since the day Fyxe finished the Zelda rank set

Heh, so if I ever will attempt to continue on my Rudra rank sets, I'll have to leave out the majority of all bosses; damn; already the first true boss (the "Giant" doesn't count since the battle runs automatically) is more than 100 px in height

But something like that,

should be okay, or not ?

So I'd need either to resize the image (what destroys the animations ) or leave out the bosses; there are already a mass of sprites; regular enemies

Is there any file size in limit ?

@DarkSlaya, there are lots of games with good sprites... try Illusion of Gaia, Lufia II or FFVI.

@Surlent, imho these could fit for the very high ranks (3k and more).

@Acmlm, is there any format I should have the rank names / image filenames / post counts in in order to reduce the amount of work required to install it? I don't have a copy of the board *sighs*, so I don't know how the rank sets work...
...and yes, the main problem about Terranigma is that the enemies don't grow proportionally to their strength. That means, the second weakest enemy in the game is the second or third largest of the regular enemies (it's about 32x48 in size), while the third weakest is a red variant of the 16x16 sized "Hubball" (kinda reminds me of L. Ron Hubbard ^^ aka "Dianetics. The key to resurrecting Beruga.") I've already shown in my first post.

Have fun,
Blacky.

In Rudra no Hihou it's similar with the enemies; sure the enemies get more and more HP, but there's major difference from world map and dungeon's enemies. Some have more HP and are larger, and some are less big and are stronger

I think you should easily name the files using the original enemy names;
On my list, I have something like that and write down the rank order of enemies I encounter and ripped, an example:

"Sion's quest:

Axis.gif
Fighter.gif (boss #1)
Larf.gif
Arachne.gif
Abilijer.gif (boss #2)
AxisKnight.gif
Lamias.gif
[...]"

The information in parantheses as they're bosses are not important for the rank set; but for you it might be good; maybe you wanna reserve all the bosses after you got the last regular strongest enemy; thus keeping the bosses for the higher ranks

And the text file should contain the post order, like

0: Hornet
1: Axis
10: Larf
[...]

Since the numbers can be tweaked in PMA, you don't need the exact same number of enemies like the other sets; just compare the GunBound ranks with the Mario ones for example.

I think we're all of the "more = good" mindset with ranks.

I'm probably going to start work on a Dragon Warrior one myself pretty soon.

EDIT: And by "start" I of course mean "finish". Finding sites with all of the work done for you is a huge help. All that's left is to send it away to an administrator.

As soon as I can find a tool to make transparent .gifs I'll work on a Little Fighter 2 rankset. Have been planning it for awhile, 33 ranks...
