Musical instruments + their BAMs.

I am working on ideas for them - if you have any, feel free to post. ;)

 

One of the main problems is that instruments in the games normally do not have a pencil sketch descriptive BAM like most other items do. So we need to find an artist for them, ideally...

Doesn't Icewind Dale I & 2 have them? I know they have flutes and lyres, so I'm guessing there's a pencil scetch to go along with them. If not, I've got some pics of some early lyres I could send you. At least I think they're still hanging around somewhere.

They've got no pencil sketches. ;)

 

I'm not a BAM artist so there's little I could do with the images - if someone else wants to step up to the challenge, though, that be great.

 

What's involved in converting jpg to BAM? If there were a conversion tool available, I could do it myself. They're in a pencil scetch form already and should work nicely. Mind you , they wouldn't look exactly like the actual item, but that's kind of a minor issue IMO. At least they'd be similar.

I think the BAMWorkshop tools are the only ones that can do it... You might have to convert them to .BMP first though. I believe those tools are now hosted at Forgotten Wars.

 

Some people (me included) have problems running them on Win ME, but I know a lot of others have no issues. ;)

Got it. I'll see what I can do with the pics I have. There's four of them that depict various types of lute like instruments. Unfortunatley they're on a white background so I can't make any promises. Maybe Bam Workshop has a utility that will convert it for me. I'm using XP so hopefully I won't have a problem with it.

Yeh, you should be able to set the white to transparent colour somehow. ;)

 

If you manage to get it working, I'll glady see what you've got done! I think the existing ingame BAMs of that size are perhaps around 100x100 to 200x200 pixels size.

You may wish to ask BigRob. His sister did some excellent sketches and such for Delainy ranging from a spear to a Celtic cross design on a ring.
