Sprite Sheet HOWTO

Post by chaslinux »

Do we have a sprite sheet HOWTO on the Wiki? I see info about tilesets, but nothing about creating sprite sheets. Probably just missing it, but would be nice if something like this is stickied to this forum.

Artists are quite free with the arrangement of their spritesheets, because the logic when to display which frame is handled by the XML files. How to write these is documented on the wiki under http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/Animations

Do you have any specific questions?
  • former Manasource Programmer
  • former TMW Pixel artist
  • NOT a game master

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.


You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

here is where to find the sheets ---> http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopi ... &start=135 .with that number of frames it is at about 98%-done (needs a little shading/detail imo). hope that helps. keep in mind the more frames the more work on other stuff..and the less frames the more "gerky moving it look/less smooth".

good luck :wink: :twisted: --skipy
back to working on---> (crypt)then(player 1.5) and more. *been on hold do to my laptop being fix* any feel free to add/help. ill be up and working as soon as i can ...good luck to all.
