ik+ Graphics.
Hi .
I'm working on a remake of IK+ for PC, my plan is to make it network enabled with a lobby system so that it works on a winner-stays-in basis , and challengers can queue to challenge the champion over the internet. The problem I have is that I cant draw :( and even if I could it would be pointless to re-create all the gfx by hand).
I wonder if anyone knows where I could get the graphics from ? I wrote a ripper and found the sprite data using a ccs64 freeze file, but I cant seem to understand that pattern in which the graphics are loaded.
Any version(c64,amiga,ST etc) of the gfx is welcome.
Can anyone help ?

I had to read this twice to get the sarcasm ;-) |

I was thinking last night, If I'm going to have problems with copyrights, maybe I should take the same idea and apply it to barbarian(another game I used to enjoy playing with friends) instead. An online 3 or 4 player version of barbarian could be great fun.
I remember the hours I spent watching someone else play while I waited for them to pass me the joystick so I could have my turn .. fond memories .
Anyone know who holds the rights to barbarian ? |

EA? ;-)
Afaik, it was released by Palace Software back then which is now belly up.
Dunno who's got the rights now... |

Just a little thunk; Archer McLean wrote IK+ and he is more than a little territorial about his rights (quite rightly so considering some of the sharks he's dealt with). McLean was brought in to recode International Karate from scratch, but IK+ was, i think, his baby from inception so it might be that he owns at least some of them... anyone got an ori of the PS1 version to see whose companies are listed as rights holders on the box?
As for certain companies and a lack of payment... we never did get the cash for Turbocharge! |

System 3 again.. :-S
Is that Mark Cale still in the (videogame) business?
Not that I have any plans but I'm just curious. |

I have the Original of International Karate on the PSOne, and Mark Cale is still out there. He owns the PC Budget label, "Play-IT". |

You should read McLeans scrolltext in "Let's Scroll It" - about how they basicly stole IK+ from him (didnt pay him)

Mark Cale had three Ferraris, one Red, one White and one Black. Not because he was successful, but because he had very good lawyers that could twist and distort just about anything, including your nipples! (Ouch!).

Hi
I realize this probably doesn't belong in the c64 pixeling section anymore, but I thought I'd just follow up.
This little preview does n't show all that much, just the proof-of-concept I'm working on. Its written entirely in Delphi 6 using the Delphix 2000 components and what you see there took me about 6 hours to put togeather. Thanks muchly to ant512 and the friendly folks over at the Atari-forum for their kind words of encouragement.
I realize all the copyright implications and am hoping someone will volunteer to help redo the gfx , that way there will be as little copyright infringement threat as possible ..
I have to stress also that I am doing this as an educational excersize ONLY , I do not expect to make any money and would hate to tread on anyones toes , if anyone has a legitimate reason, I will cease work on this IMMEDIATELY god knows I'm just trying to have a little fun, not get involved in any legal battles ..
Tell me what you think. :)
Have a look here
Oh yeah .. nearly forgot
Keys:
Left cursor - walk left
Right cursor - walk right
Up cursor - Jump
Down cursor - foot sweep
Left cursor + x - Back flip
Right cursor + down - lunge punch
