So far we haven't found out how to change the frame rects of a sprite.

JUST FOR YOU INFO --> A frame rect = A rectangle which limits the size of your sprite.

Also, you cannot make your own sprite sheet unless it fits the format of one of the original NPCsets

Just for your info again --> NPCsets are sprite sheets, basically.

As in like, your sprites on the new sprite sheet must fit the frame rects of one of the original Cave Sotry sprite sheets.

FOR EXAMPLE:

You want to edit the flying critter in NpcWeed.
First, the best way to define the largest possible frame rect in which you can edit a particular sprite is by drawing a rectangle that fits that particular sprite's outline. Like this!
WAY TO DO IT:

(Sidenote: OMG IGNORE THE WHITE THING RECTANGLE! THAT'S THE MAGNIFYING TOOL LOL. Only look at the red rects ^^")

Then, you can erase what is within that frame rect and draw your own edit of that particular sprite.

NOTE: Different sprites have different fame rect sizes.

I hope this is helpful! ^^

Edit - Aww no sticky? >:

Edity - Picture fixed lol

Not to go off-topic (I can't get more off-topic than Metalogz is 99% of the time anyway), but why are mark-uping *all* your posts with a dark red Times New Roman font?

That's Xaserius!

I mean *cough* nice that you posted it, acutally I modifyed the frame rects once.
You can also mix sprite sheets! Just have the sprites you want to use at the correct "coords".

Default forum font...
If it irritates you, I could change the color...
But Times New Roman (AKA Font Generica) and size stay.

"You might not like my font choice, but @ laest i dont tlak liek dis 4 1thngi lol omg wtf?"
...

I'm fairly certain I will keep the sprites mostly the same...
Just gunna rob Quote of his hat...
And a few other almost single pixel tweaks...
Like removing the "Weapons fire" star burst...

It doesn't irritate me as much as it distracts me. And I think it's weird that you're going such lengths and manually changing the font (you're not?) in each post.

I'm sure how Ctrl + V could be considered any length to go to...
I typed it out manually *once* and then saved it to a notepad.
Ctrl + C ---> Ctrl + V
Sure I odd. But I like TNR + Red.

Do tell, how do you edit the frame rects? I can do small hex edits so if that's required it won't be a problem. I just want to use character sprite only a few pixels too high, that's all.

P.S. Please don't kill me for the bump or the random first post, I decided now was the time to come out of lurking!
