Makendo Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Okay, I think it's because it's parsing them as 32x64, but when I set to 32x32 sprites they're half cut off? Any good breeze sprites like lostica has open to public? I tried from anothe engine's recources but I got this so.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Riddler Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Here's a diagram I made for your convenience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveo Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Excellent answer Riddler!I would only add one thing, that is make sure there are no "off black" (almost black) areas on your sprites sheet, because these will show up as annoying spots, or lines in your game.I sometimes check an area of my sprites sheets by blocking it off and turning it red, or purple, or some weird color, just to make sure that the WHOLE area is completely black. The "un black" areas will be sharply contrasted this way. If its OK, I simply "undo" it, if its not ok, I simply undo and take further action, being careful not to damage my sprites in the process. Sometimes it is simply a "line" of slightly off black where I pasted a custom sprite. Other times it is a series of "spots" that are near the sprites, I simply make sure to "erase" these by painting over them with pure 100% black ( my transparent color) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makendo Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Strange, I made it black again and now it works. Thanks very much guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Crusade Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 @Steveo:> Excellent answer Riddler!Although his diagram was hypocritical. Anybody else notice that since he uploaded it in JPG, that the black color was ruined, and therefore, if used it would still have the same issue? The black throughout the background is minutely different shades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black throughout the background is minutely different shades.Oh my gosh I didnt notice it!Yes of course the graphics sheets for ALL the files in your GFX filder must be bmp files.If you convert it to jpg it completely messes it up with off black splotches everywhere, so…keep it bmp(Good catch Kreator) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black throughout the background is minutely different shades.It was a simple diagram. So what, I saved it in JPEG. If you know anything about computers, you would realize in an instant wether something was JPEG or BMP. Anyway, it was a simple accident, I was trying to hurry so that I could answer other questions. No need to make a big fuss about it. If you reply to this post, please don't flame, because we have no need to spam this topic with pages of flame wars.

It just makes it worse quality.As stated before, it was an accident.> And I did notice it was JPEG. That's what this is all about.I used the word "you" as a generalization. I actually meant everyone looking at the diagram. Haruhito was mainly what I was directing that at though.> Chill, I just pointed something out, no need to get so defensive and upset. Your very sensitive I must say. 10 years old perhaps?I really didn't mean to be so sensitive, if I was, I apologize. I just want to have a good reputation, and people pointing out wrongly saved diagrams of mine won't help. By the way, please don't flamebait.
