Using a whole spritesheet

[daimenj]

I have all of them set to the same thing. The animation runs but halfway through the walk animation the sprite moves forward instead of walking in place like it should.

its offset problem, or maybe you have the "move" command

[daimenj]

ok how would i line up all of the frames to be equal size in obeditor? If not i have to do it the old fashioned way

[NickyP]

It doesn't matter if the frames are equal size. What matters is the offset position. Make it so that the offset of each frame is as close to where it was on the other frame. And I'm not talking about if frame 1 is offset 100 100, make frame 2 offset 100 103.

I'm saying, if the first frame has the offset in the middle of the character, under their legs, the other offsets should be located in a similiar position.

Look at this, for example:

anim walk
   loop 1
   delay 9
      offset  17  45
      bbox  12  6  11  36
   frame data/chars/richter1/14.png
      offset  15  46
      bbox  10  6  11  36
   frame data/chars/richter1/15.png
      offset  10  47
      bbox  5  5  11  35
   frame data/chars/richter1/16.png
      offset  11  46
   frame data/chars/richter1/17.png
      offset  16  45
      bbox  10  5  14  35
   frame data/chars/richter1/18.png
      offset  13  46
      bbox  8  4  12  37
   frame data/chars/richter1/19.png
      offset  11  47
      bbox  4  6  14  35
   frame data/chars/richter1/20.png
      offset  12  46
   frame data/chars/richter1/21.png

There's a different offset for each frame, because I used the Spritesheet Unpacker and all the frames are different sizes. But, the character is still animated properly.

@daimenj: Offsetting problem you're dealing here is main reason for not using spritesheet reader (if there were any). It would be very very tough to make program which could align sprite properly let alone definition of aligned sprites is not same to everyone.

 I rather crop sprites one by one myself and since I pasted each sprite in photoshop document, I could align each of them before converting for use in OpenBoR.

I just line all my stuff in paint once I get the frames ready, that way, I don't have to worry about offsets while modding, unless a change is needed, but most of the time, one offset works if I have them all right. Just copy one sprite from the sheet, over the sprite I have in the frame, and use the transparent thing to cover the other sprite. If it helps, I made a video recording myself working on Mecha Knuckles for Sega Brawlers, from the start where I get the image for the palette ready, later on to making the frames. If you watch the whole thing, you might see what I'm talking about, but that starts around 6:30:

Hope seeing this helps you in some way.

Once you have done this, what is the next step? create a history snapshop and then convert the snapshots? I try to do this but itīs a pain to do a snapshot of each frame specially in long animations, is there a way to do it faster?

[Bloodbane]

 I don't know if this can be batched or not but after I got the sprites aligned in seperate layers, I simply saved each layer as .png. Then I apply palette to each of png.
 This is long process so I didn't think about it at all and just do it and before I knew it, all sprites are done and ready .

 BTW this thread should be moved to help section.
