Sprites - crzyone9584 - 31-03-2008
Ok i may have missed the answer when i searched for it but here is my question. i have a sprite like the attached image and dont know how to impliment it or change it so that the the engine will know how to use it. how would i go about fixing it.
Re: Sprites - Stomach Pulser - 31-03-2008
As of default MSE1, you line them up in one row of sprites. The sections should be 3 sprites wide and 1 sprite wide. Every third sprite is an attack sprite.
UUUDDDLLLRRR
U = facing up (back to you)
D = facing down (front to you)
L = facing left ()
Bolded are attack sprites.
An example is attached below (includes a sprite with visible attacks and a code)
(don't steal this sprite, as it is mine)
Re: Sprites - crzyone9584 - 31-03-2008
ok thanks only problem is I'm limited to vb.net 2005 coding.
is it basically changing the 32x32 to something that would work with the sprite i have?
Re: Sprites - crzyone9584 - 31-03-2008
guess i didnt mention i have vb6 installed. but dont really know it. im better at vb.net 2005. lol
Re: Sprites - crzyone9584 - 31-03-2008
and my question still stands in vb6 do i change the 32x32 to something else?

Either make the rectangle longer when blitting, or use two blit calls, for top and bottom.

Re: Sprites - Dr. Spoon - 01-04-2008
there was a sprite converter around here some place
made specifically for converting those to mirage format
Re: Sprites - crzyone9584 - 01-04-2008
alright i searched for the sprite converter and found one. works great. now do i just add the converted file underneath the other sprite in the sprite file in the gfx? then make a ndw clas and say to use sprite 1 i do beleive it is.
(i say one because i beleive the first one is 0 if im wrong please correct me)

Yeah.. they're the RMXP sprites, but I mean is, you can't just.. look at them.. or right click and check the properties.. or measure them in paint..
