Making Sprites 32/64 - grimsk8ter11 - 01-06-2006

Ok Find the for next loop which calls bltPlayer

Code:
' Blit out players

        For i = 1 To MAX_PLAYERS

              If IsPlaying(i) And GetPlayerMap(i) = GetPlayerMap(MyIndex) Then

                  Call BltPlayer(i)

              End If

        Next i

Now copy it, we need to make another sub to blt the top of the player, this way it will be above other players bottoms.
We need to make a new loop instead of adding just another sub in the first one, because otherwise if there was a player ontop of your player, which was bltted after you in the loop, it will show ontop of your head, and thats not cool.

So make it look like this:

Code:
' Blit out players top

        For i = 1 To MAX_PLAYERS

              If IsPlaying(i) And GetPlayerMap(i) = GetPlayerMap(MyIndex) Then

                  Call BltPlayerTop(i)

              End If

        Next i

(it goes right after the other loop if you hadnt figured that out)

Now we need to make the sub.

Copy the bltPlayer Sub
Paste the bltPlayer Sub right below there
Rename it bltPlayerTop

Find this if statement in the BltPlayerTop Sub, its something like:

Code:
If y < 0 then

    y = 0

    With Rec

        .top = .top + (Y * -1)

    End With

end if

Change it to this:

Code:
y = y - 32

    If y < 0 And y > -32 Then

        With Rec

              .top = .top - y

              y = 0

        End With    

    End If

This blts it 1 tile higher then normal.

Now go to the BltPlayer sub
Find:

Code:
.top = GetPlayerSprite(Index) * PIC_Y

Make it:

Code:
.Top = GetPlayerSprite(Index) * PIC_Y + PIC_Y

This takes one block down from the top of the sprite

Oh yea, in both of the subs, add a * 2 after the getplayersprite(index) in the rec.top line, this make it so each block of 2 is thought of as 1 sprite.

you dont really NEED it though.

Oh, and for the names...
Go to the BltPlayerName sub and find the texty = whatever and change it to:

Code:
TextY = GetPlayerY(Index) * PIC_Y + Player(Index).YOffset + 28 '(or-4 + pic_y)

Or if you want the name to show up above the player(the one there ^ makes it below) make it this:

Code:
TextY = GetPlayerY(Index) * PIC_Y + Player(Index).YOffset - 50 '(or-4 -  pic_y - pic_y/2)

Now you will probably have to change other things, like for the npcs if you want them like that too. Or whatever.
If I missed something in here let me know.

Ok what about if I want some npcs 32*32 and some 96*96 npcs?

- Rian - 07-07-2006

This cover players only.

- Misunderstood - 07-07-2006

The hope is that you can see how it is done for players and are able to modify it to work in other scenarios....such as with npcs.

- Krloz - 07-07-2006

I mean is it possible have to different sizes for npcs?

- Robin - 07-07-2006

Of course it is. Practically anything is possible!

- Misunderstood - 07-07-2006

Yes, its not very hard, I think its even in elysium.

- Rian - 07-07-2006

Completely possible, but would require adding a couple more variables to the NPCs and adding some options to the npc editor

- Tosuxo - 07-07-2006

woah, sonire, it's not impossible... it just means a menu selection of 64 and so on sizes, and having diff sprite sheets for diff sizes....

He didn't say impossible. Please, read through it, don't just skim the posts.

i'm tempted to try and finish my player housing tutorial whilst drunk.... *giggles* Tongue

Adding the name above the player doesn't work. The name stays on the top tile even when the player is on a lower tile.

Nevermind, I just made a stupid mistake >.

- Elmrok - 10-12-2006

When i add this, only the top part of my sprites show and the bottom does not. Anyone know why this is like this?

- Reece - 10-12-2006

Are you using the right sized sprites? Are you using MSE? two possible errors there Smile

- Matt - 10-12-2006

If you're using sprite number 0, try changing it to 1.

- Elmrok - 10-12-2006

Ok i got that part working but now only the even number of sprites work. Like, 0 will show it all, but sprite 1 will show the bottom of sprite 0 and the top of sprite 2. Anyone know how to fix this?

- Rian - 10-12-2006

That's just the way the tut works. It's not like only 50% of your 32x64 NPCs work. They all work, you've just gotta odd numbers only.

- Elmrok - 10-12-2006

o ok thanks. Thats all i needed.

- Elmrok - 12-12-2006

Ok anyone know how to make the sprite check by 64 instead of 32 on the sprite sheet? Not like it does in the script, where it goes sprit 0, sprite 4, ect. but where u can actually go spite 0, srite 1, sprite 2, ect.

Dos anyone know how to make it do this or can tell me what to change to do it?

- kakashi - 15-04-2007

is this server side or client side? (i came from elysium so i am not as technicly minded as all of you)

- Misunderstood - 15-04-2007

client side, since the client deals with all of the user interface aspects(although some UI tweaks also need to modify things serverside).

This tut is all clientside though

Client-side; if it has to do with purely graphics and nothing else it's usually client side Smile

- kakashi - 15-04-2007

ok now i can implement it and try to find a paperdoll tutorial for it
*first some thing to eat then i will implement it i'm thinking pizza LOL*
EDIT: what i can't spell so sue me (need a time to sue me try half past never)
