Repeat until animation is over.įor the frameX. That should be your new frameY for the next frame. An easy way to calculate frameY after the first frame of animation would be to take the height of the reference and the height of the next frame, subtract and use that value and subtract the frameY with that. Once you think you got it close, you are going to use the "at rest" frame for the frame of reference. P.S., make sure the frameX value isnt sending the character right the more you go negative before you enter the values. This is what I did and it worked out pretty well įirst, place the sprite as close to where it originally was as possible using frameX and frameY during the idle animation, preferably the "at rest" frame. This part is going to be a little tedious, but you can do it, I believe in you. If it did, hooray! If it didn't, you did something wrong. But it is offset!?!!!! Well, that's what the frameX and frameY do. Load up the game, just to see if it even registered. you are going to be using the values associated with that position for reference A LOT. P.S., the last frame of the idle animation for bf is the "at rest" position. (you are going to do this a lot so get used to it now) We will come back to half of those later. Ignore the frameWidth, frameHeight, frameX and frameY for now. It might sound like a lot, but once you get into the flow it is a breeze. Here, you want to input the top left x coordinate, top y coordinate, width, and height for each frame. Now that you have your animations all neatly(?) placed, save the file to (file).png (excluding the solid color borders) and go back to the xml. I also recommend putting a solid color for each sprite's background, so you can refer to it's values later. Put them anywhere you want, but the more compact the better. Once you have the sprites done, you can make your own spritesheet. make the sprites? There isn't a specific limit on what the px has to be, but I recommend a solid 900x900 MAX. If you find the animation you want to do, move on.

Empty lines and comments (formatted "#This is a comment) don't hinder the workflow of the program, so you are free to put in as many as you like, as long as the frames still go in the order the animation intends. What you can do however, is section off each animation and sort them to your needs. You'll see each animation divided by name: BFnoteUp0001, BFnoteUp0002, etc. You can't just GIVE them frames (sources are still evaluating this claim), so just stick with how many it allows for now. Second, figure out which character you are actually doing and how many frames they are allowed per animation. I used Visual Studio, but any text editor should also work. How you open it? Up to you, as long as you can read it and edit it as easily as possible. You are gonna wanna open that first and foremost. So, what if you are tired of just sticking to the same "sprite guides" given by the game? Well, let's fix that.Įach character sprite in the game is governed by an associated XML file.
