Sprites in EO.. Changing the size??

[Bloodmorphed]

Well I want to know if I can go from:

to:

I like the smaller sprites, dont ask why I just do lol

[Robin]

Add a 4th frame. Origins reads the size automatically.

[Bloodmorphed]

Is there a way I can make it read it as is? the 3 frames?

you can but you will haft to rewrite alot of the system with VB6

[Bloodmorphed]

I see… really a lot? Would seem like itd only be 1 part of it, guess I'm wrong XD

not really

[Bloodmorphed]

Would there a tut out there to guide me on how to go about changing that??

I mean I'm still new to VB6 XD so me going in and trying to fix it ill break it haha.

I don't think there is a tutorial for it, but here are your sprites in the format used by eclipse, I increased the size of the bitmap to 128x128, shifted them all 32 pixels to the right and copied and pasted the middle column into the first empty column.

[Bloodmorphed]

Thanks for that man.. I was going to do it hard way lol….

Changing 2 number '4's to '3's is not a lot of rewriting.

@Robin:

> Changing 2 number '4's to '3's is not a lot of rewriting.

Oh??? If this were the case, how where are these 4's I would need to change to make them to 3's?

```
      .top = spritetop * (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lHeight / 4)
        .Bottom = .top + (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lHeight / 4)
        .Left = Anim * (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lWidth / 4)
        .Right = .Left + (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lWidth / 4)

```
Would I have to change this to:
```
      .top = spritetop * (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lHeight / 4)
        .Bottom = .top + (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lHeight / 4)
        .Left = Anim * (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lWidth / 3)
        .Right = .Left + (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lWidth / 3)

```
I don't think this is it, but.. worth a shot.

i tried it, but for some reason it gives a blank square in the movement like im invisible then it comes back

[shado360]

You still have two fours up there O.o

[Bloodmorphed]

Thats the hight look at my sprite, its 3x4 not 3x3

I will post everything I changed but its still giving that blank square every other step

```
With rec
        .top = spritetop * (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lHeight / 4)
        .Bottom = .top + (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lHeight / 4)
        .Left = Anim * (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lWidth / 3)
        .Right = .Left + (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lWidth / 3)
    End With

```
```
    ' Calculate the X
    x = GetPlayerX(Index) * PIC_X + Player(Index).XOffset - ((DDSD_Character(Sprite).lWidth / 3 - 32) / 2)
```
```
    With rec
        .top = (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lHeight / 4) * spritetop
        .Bottom = .top + DDSD_Character(Sprite).lHeight / 4
        .Left = Anim * (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lWidth / 3)
        .Right = .Left + (DDSD_Character(Sprite).lWidth / 3)
    End With

```
```
    ' Calculate the X
    x = MapNpc(MapNpcNum).x * PIC_X + MapNpc(MapNpcNum).XOffset - ((DDSD_Character(Sprite).lWidth / 3 - 32) / 2)

```
```
    width = DDSD_Character(Sprite).lWidth / 3
    height = DDSD_Character(Sprite).lHeight / 4

```
I did all this and still give that blank square every other step.

ProcessMovement & ProcessNpcMovement.

Change the step system to be based off the 1-2-3 pattern.

[Bloodmorphed]

```
Sub ProcessMovement(ByVal Index As Long)
Dim MovementSpeed As Long

    ' If debug mode, handle error then exit out
    If Options.Debug = 1 Then On Error GoTo errorhandler

    ' Check if player is walking, and if so process moving them over
    Select Case Player(Index).Moving
        Case MOVING_WALKING: MovementSpeed = ((ElapsedTime / 1000) * (RUN_SPEED * SIZE_X))
        Case MOVING_RUNNING: MovementSpeed = ((ElapsedTime / 1000) * (WALK_SPEED * SIZE_X))
        Case Else: Exit Sub
    End Select

    Select Case GetPlayerDir(Index)
        Case DIR_UP
            Player(Index).YOffset = Player(Index).YOffset - MovementSpeed
            If Player(Index).YOffset < 0 Then Player(Index).YOffset = 0
        Case DIR_DOWN
            Player(Index).YOffset = Player(Index).YOffset + MovementSpeed
            If Player(Index).YOffset > 0 Then Player(Index).YOffset = 0
        Case DIR_LEFT
            Player(Index).XOffset = Player(Index).XOffset - MovementSpeed
            If Player(Index).XOffset < 0 Then Player(Index).XOffset = 0
        Case DIR_RIGHT
            Player(Index).XOffset = Player(Index).XOffset + MovementSpeed
            If Player(Index).XOffset > 0 Then Player(Index).XOffset = 0
    End Select

    ' Check if completed walking over to the next tile
    If Player(Index).Moving > 0 Then
        If GetPlayerDir(Index) = DIR_RIGHT Or GetPlayerDir(Index) = DIR_DOWN Then
            If (Player(Index).XOffset >= 0) And (Player(Index).YOffset >= 0) Then
                Player(Index).Moving = 0
                If Player(Index).Step = 1 Then
                    Player(Index).Step = 3
                Else
                    Player(Index).Step = 1
                End If
            End If
        Else
            If (Player(Index).XOffset <= 0) And (Player(Index).YOffset <= 0) Then
                Player(Index).Moving = 0
                If Player(Index).Step = 1 Then
                    Player(Index).Step = 3
                Else
                    Player(Index).Step = 1
                End If
            End If
        End If
    End If

    ' Error handler
    Exit Sub
errorhandler:
    HandleError "ProcessMovement", "modGameLogic", Err.Number, Err.Description, Err.Source, Err.HelpContext
    Err.Clear
    Exit Sub
End Sub

```
I don't even understand where to start off making it 1-2-3 step from this… Hell I don't even understand how the hell its getting 1-2-3-4 lol

The only thing I'd guess at is changing those 3's to 2s >.>

Actually its not a stutter step, its a double step in one square.

Got it, I changed the 3's to 1's and it seems fine.

[Bloodmorphed]

Okay walking it fine I think for now, But attack make blank square again XD

[Robin]

Change the attack frame #.

[Bloodmorphed]

Yeah I did that. Now when I log in I can attack itll show the animation… when I walk again it doesnt show it anymore.
Edit: Nvm I feel like such an idiot I didn't think through the frames haha, but I got it now.

Also, Robin thanks a ton with this, and everyone else thanks for helping as well.
