Unused sprites

I got a question about the unused sprites in the game (I searched found nothing)

I've noticed that there are unused sprites in the sprite sheet (the frog swordsmen in weed, cyclops in the plantation sheet) how do I use them in a mod? I want to make a killer robot enemy and the frog swordsmen look pretty fitting

 

Well the reason why they're not used in the game is because Pixel did not wish to include them in the game. And since he did not want them in the game, I guess he did not bother to code them, making them unusable =/

However, you COULD use them by using the unused sprite to replace those of one that actually exists.

For example, you can replace the grave keeper's frames with those of the frog samurai slash-around-pwn-own-kill-bloodiness-of-doomage-hell-nuke-disaster.

 

Replacement is the best way to go. There are no actor types that correspond to these unused sprites, so short of assembly hacking there's not much you can do with them without copying the sprites over another enemy's.

Here's a neat trick though that many seem to overlook. You can easily make a copy of a spritesheet and edit that one. For example, you could have an alternate NpcCave with the frog swordsmen replacing the Gravekeeper sprites as per Meta's example, and only use the 'alternate' bitmap in the maps you need it in. Though that means you can't have a Frogsman and a Gravekeeper in the same map, but you can switch between the two at will.

 

Like everyone said, replace. Unless you're up to creating an entity of your own through assembly which I lack knowledge of.

I would be more apt to excuse your poor spelling if it were simply a matter of not knowing how, but when you say it's because you're lazy it makes me want to clobber you.

What browser do you use?

 

You make a sprite with a graphic editing program, duh?
