Fake kit for new hitsplats

[WolfieMario]

Pretty much a day or two after the hitsplat change came out, I decided to start working on a new kit so they're still possible to fake. That involved a lot of screenshotting and experimenting. Now, if the stuff here looks like the stuff you see in RuneWiki's Hitsplat article, it's because I put it there :P (well, they had a few splats before I came along, but some were flawed - one guy thought that the healing splat is just a purple recolor of the damage splat :rolleyes:. Also, none of their splats had any shadows). Anyways, here's the kit:

Yeah, it covers a lot :blink:. If that's too much to be of use to some of you, feel free to use the condensed version:

But if you get confused with anything, please refer to the "Notes on Alignment and Making Splats" section of the large kit - it covers virtually everything. Also, you may look at "Miscellaneous Sample Hitsplats" and think "hey, some of these look wrong", but I actually compared them to many hits ingame - the horizontal alignment rules aren't really as simple as I make it seem in the notes section, but I didn't want to make the notes even longer.

Note that in order to use this kit correctly, you have to rightclick -> Save Image As... the kit (copy/paste will make the transparency become solid black if you're using Firefox), and you have to use a graphical editor that can use transparency (otherwise you can't fake the transparent shadows around the splats correctly).

Anyways, the font I refer to in the kit for maxed hits can be downloaded here, and its FontStruct page is here.

I thought now would be as good a time as any to introduce my contest to Tip.It. See, I have this sort of contest within many of the RS-related things I do, where I hide certain Easter Eggs and references in my works, or let people guess as to how I made something. The contest has rules, rewards, and and an organized scoresheet (which is driven primarily by a lot of carefully planned spreadsheet code, so most of it is automated, severely reducing the risk of any error), so it's not just something lame I whipped up in 10 minutes :razz:

You can go here for pretty much all the info you may need about my contest, but really, you don't need to see anything there to start playing. The rules are pretty straightforward, so you don't even need to know those to start playing - just keep in mind you only get points if you're the first to answer a question, and that means first. If someone answers the question first on a different forum (currently the only other forum that knows about this contest is Sal's, where I started it), they get the points. Anyways, the contest for this fake kit only has one question (my fakes usually get several questions):

 

[9 Finds] In the large kit, under the Miscellaneous Sample Hitsplats section, I have made several extra (normal damage) hitsplats with specific numbers. The numbers are 1337, 2550, 3260, 6500, 9001, 10000, 20000, 32767, and 65535. Each is a reference to something - but what? 1₧ for figuring out what 1337 or 9001 refer to, 2₧ for figuring out what 20000 or 10000 are references to, 3₧ for figuring out what 32767 or 65535 reference [8 (simultaneous) incorrect guesses. Please don't copy/paste from Wikipedia!], and 4₧ for figuring out what 3260 or 6500 reference. 2550 can actually reference at least 4 different things - if you get just one, I give you 2₧, but for each extra one you get, I give you another 3₧ bonus (up to 3 extra references, so up to 9₧ bonus overall - but if you can think of more than 4 references, still post them all, but no more that 8! It'd be kinda unfair if you guessed every possibility under the sun :P. You won't get credit for any more than 4 references, but it's best to be safe in case some are wrong) [3 incorrect guesses]. 22₧ (+9₧)

Found:

• 1337 and 9001 have been found by Guitarguy (Sal's Realm): "leet" in leetspeak, and the meme
  
  
• 32767 and 65535 have been found by Den (Tip.It): 32767 is the maximum value of a signed short integer (aka halfword), while 65535 is the max for an unsigned short integer.
  
• 2550 and 20000 have been found by Herty (Sal's Realm): Herty found that 2550 could be a reference to the max limit of an 8-bit byte (octet), multiplied by ten (because of the lifepoints update). The other two references I had in mind for this one were the Kalphite Queen's max lifepoints (in both forms), and the max lifepoints of a player after touching the Stone of Jas during While Guthix Sleeps. Unfortunately, we both thought Jad has a max lifepoints of 2550, but a Tip.Iter and a video of Jad's Monster Examine proved us wrong - apparently it's 2500. Herty also found that the max lifepoints of the Corporeal Beast is 20000.
  
• 10000, 3260, and 6500 have been found by iAntilopi (Sal's Realm): 10000 is the max lifepoints of Nomad, as well as his three Avatars, 3260 is the max lifepoints of a tormented demon, and 6500 is (according to RuneWiki) the max lifepoints of the Pest Queen.

The contest for this kit is over!

That's a lot of hitsplats! :o

 

Nice work though, the kits look very detailed and will probably help a lot of fakers save some time.

 

I like some of your max hit splats. |^_^| 1337 & 9001 ftw

[Albel]

Wow, thats really good :thumbup:

[Mil]

Great work as usual, keep it up! :thumbup:

I thought the "Fail" and "Die" ones were funny as well.

 

That must've taken a lot of hard work. Great job! :)

[WolfieMario]

Thanks guys, glad you like them :grin:. Yeah, I was trying to think of some interesting things to put so I fill up the Miscellaneous Hitsplats box - in addition to those 4 I did for fun, some of the seemingly random numbers are the max lifepoints of various monsters/bosses :razz:

[Quyneax]

Just one word: awesome.

[Den]

I was actually wondering if you would be doing this. Glad you did, it looks great! |^_^|

[WolfieMario]

I've decided to extend my "contest" to Tip.It. It's a simple contest where you look for Easter Eggs, try to figure out references, and guess how I made things in my various RS-related works. I've added the details to the end of the first post :P

[Larinro]

Nice work, looks like you put alot of time into that :thumbsup:

[Den]

The "32767 or 65535 reference" is integral data types for signed and unsigned halfwords isn't it? Haven't had much Computer Science. :P

[Riemis]

Oh Wolfie, you did it again! :)

My name on Sals is Ewout, if you didn't recognize my avatar btw :P

Correct! :) +6₧ (err, it's "integer" data type though :P Integrals are what make my math homework take so long :-?)

 

Oh Wolfie, you did it again! :)

My name on Sals is Ewout, if you didn't recognize my avatar btw :P

Yeah, I recognize both your avatar and your rsn :P

 

EDIT: There's only 3 references left! :o

[armybuilder]

Now im confused.

550 and 20000 have been found by Herty (Sal's Realm): Herty found that 2550 could be a reference to the max limit of an 8-bit byte (octet), multiplied by ten (because of the lifepoints update), and that it equals Tz-Tok Jad's max lifepoints

 

Tipit tells us that Jads Hitpoints are 2500

General Graardor on the other hand does have 2550 hp

Crap. What's odd is that Runewiki says 2550, which makes sense, because:

Due to the logic of the levels of the monsters in the fight cave (combat levels, max hits and LP double every time), TzTok-Jad should have 3200LP (Ket-Zek has 1600LP). But because the hitpoint limit was 255 (2550) when TzTok-Jad was introduced, he could not have 3200LP. Therefore his combat level is not 720 (double of Ket-Zek, 360), but only 702.

But both Tip.It and Zybez say it's 2500. Also, RuneHQ says it's 3120, but that's obviously not right... But my friend found an old vid where Jad got stat-spied and had 250hp, so I guess you're right then. I guess that means Herty loses 3 points :mellow:

[obfuscator]

Wow, thats really good :thumbup:

This, great job as usual!

[Tecmaster]

Very impressive work!

[Aslan]

Have you thought of getting a job as an animator or something related?

[WolfieMario]

About the contest - you guys are allowed to use sites like Tip.It's database or RuneWiki to help figure out the significance of 3260, 6500, and 10000. They're all monster max lifepoints :P

Although I have noticed yet another discrepancy between the two sites' max lifepoint records - in this case, I'll be accepting the RuneWiki answer, because Tip.It's guess seems too large, and because Tip.It says there's no monster with that max lp anyways :unsure:

 

Have you thought of getting a job as an animator or something related?

I have, but I'm probably going to get a job as a programmer anyhow - I'm going to be majoring in Computer Science.

[Bows]

Extremely impressive. Keep it up.

[WolfieMario]

Okay, the contest for this kit has ended, as all questions have been answered! However, if anyone's still interested, there are 9 open questions for other fakes/vids of mine here.
