Hi

I'm need of help. I'm trying to create my own fake fatalities using MS Paint. I've looked, but I can't find any dark backgrounds (when a fatality occurs). I also don't know how to do change it in Paint. Can someone help me?

Thanks!

Which ones are you looking for in particular? I could rip a couple.

Can you get me the backgrounds for MK1 (the Courtyard, the Pit and the Warriors Shrine), MK2 (Kahn's Arena and the Deadpool), and MK3 (the Subway and Scorp's Lair). Thanks!

MK Warehouse

Just click on whatever game you want and click "See more" on the stage section for more.

Acutally Hikari715, you didn't read the whole post. I'm looking for the dark grounds (when one does a fatality, etc).

I've always been a firm believer in ripping the actual backgrounds as MK darkens them, rather than using a program to darken the backgrounds. It gives it that 100% authenticity, and I've used this method for all of my animations and even one of my comics. Here you go:

How come this stuff isn't on the MKW?

Make a new layer above the bg layer(the MK stage), fill the new layer with black, lower the opacity, not that hard =P
This can be done if you have GIMP or PS.

Thanks LitoJ. Luckily, I have both, and now I can actually create dark backgrounds. glasses

Also, can anyone tell me, how do you make your on sprites?

Thanks, LitoJ, but dead wrong.

Fire up the MK game in MAME, start to do a Fatality, use AceKombat's cheats to make the sprites invisible, and take a screenshot.

This is the only way to get a 100% arcade-perfect darkened background, as opposed to ripping a bright background and then trying to darken it yourself. A perfect example of why dark BG's should be ripped instead of made is Kahn's Arena below:

That's another way of doing it.
The perfect way, like you said, ]{ombat, but, I didn't hear from the first post he wanted the exact perfect one, just a dark bg for a fatality.

Either way, you can still get dark bg.
Though, it might be faster on GIMP and/or PS than to do a fatality and then get the perfect darkened bg.
It depends though.
