Bug Report: $001-Whatever

[TopHatGuy]

I tried to make larger sprites using $001-Whatever and this happens

I believe it's not a bug, let me explain.

The engine uses a specific animation set so the game can do running and idle animations(plus the diagonal animations), so if you use a regular spritesheet it wont find the animations excluding the idle one. When that happnens it doesnt show them.


the default animations have the correct format so you can copy, paste and edit those.
If you wanna use bigger sprites you can do the following steps.

1. open the file on photoshop or any proggram you can get this to work with (I couldnt do it with paint or paint.net, but I could with photoshop. I dont get why but I think its gotta do something with photoshop's ability to understand actual pixels).
2. now you have to calculate the size you want it to be changed to. The calculation is (new sprite size multiplied by 12 for the widht. and new sprite size multiplied by 8 for the height. If you want it to be 48x48 then do 48*12 and 48*8 respectibly.
3. finally resize the file to the results you got. for example, 48x48 would be 576x384 pixels. If you're using photoshop, you should change the resample option to "nearest neighbour" so it doenst blur the image out.

Alternativelly, if you dont want the animations, just remove the following scripts and try using regular spritesheets:

• VE_8-Directions
• Galv animations

If whatever method doesnt work tell me and I'll try and help you again. Sorry for the inconvinience.

Also I wanna add that you can use the $001-whatever spritesheets for NPCs, they only shouldnt work on the player characters.

I found that you can delete only Galv Direction to fix the problem
