Re: Splitting Sprite Sheet
Wow that's amazing... Works almost perfectly well, some gib frames seem to be split apart but that's nothing I can't solve !
Re: Splitting Sprite Sheet
.jpg - good luck on cleaning it. I think there were .png versions of Rolls stuff somewhere wasnt it?
btw Its Rolls sprite, not even based on my chainmail ettin.

Re: Splitting Sprite Sheet
Interesting, the sheet I have is an "Irfanview BMP file", yet the one uploaded is jpg. Don't really know why, I guess if anyone wants those I can try uploading it in a zip file or something. Also when I check the sheet, I see no irregularities.

I would be interested in the BMP version. It doesn't seem to be available anywhere.oODemonologistOo wrote:Interesting, the sheet I have is an "Irfanview BMP file", yet the one uploaded is jpg. Don't really know why, I guess if anyone wants those I can try uploading it in a zip file or something.
Re: Splitting Sprite Sheet
Probably the image hosting site automaticaly converts all bmps into jpegs instead of png as it should be. It could be probably avoided by changing it manualy to a png before uploading. Or change a image hosting site, I recently found out that majhost actually host bmp, it does not convert it at all.oODemonologistOo wrote:Interesting, the sheet I have is an "Irfanview BMP file", yet the one uploaded is jpg.

Re: Splitting Sprite Sheet
Most people really don't like it when one hosts a BMP though. converting to PNG would be your best bet.
Re: Splitting Sprite Sheet
It is, but when uploading small files it doesnt matter that much. And many servers do it automatically. I was quite surprised that majhost dont. But automatic conversion to jpeg is weird. People usually have reasons to store their pictures as bmps, mostly because of the pixel precission that jpeg format just cant preserve.InsanityBringer wrote:Most people really don't like it when one hosts a BMP though. converting to PNG would be your best bet.

PNG compression is lossless, though.neoworm wrote:People usually have reasons to store their pictures as bmps, mostly because of the pixel precission that jpeg format just cant preserve.
Re: Splitting Sprite Sheet
Indeed -- auto-converting to jpeg instead of png is silly at best, these days. If someone tries to upload a zillion meg .bmp or anything else that would make jpeg-compression justified, they're doing it wrong.

Re: Splitting Sprite Sheet
Here it is, along with the PNG version of all of Roll's sprite sheets. I accidently set transparent background on while converting shielded ettin, I hope it won't be much of a problem.

Re: Splitting Sprite Sheet
Why not simply split them manually, using copy-paste? It will take a finite amount of time.

Re: Splitting Sprite Sheet
When you are busy/lazy or simply cba, that's the least you'd want to do. Besides, it's time consuming and you can finish the monster (code/bug test-wise) you want by the time you finish taking up his frames one by one. So, it's just to save time, really.
Re: Splitting Sprite Sheet
Big deal. Doing it manually is typically a long, and moreover tedious, process that's completely unnecessary if you've got Spricer handy.printz wrote:It will take a finite amount of time.
