Title: sprite sheets
Post by: Roger on Mon 07/12/2009 13:34:07
Please forgive the newb question but I've nearly worn out my mouse looking for the answer.
I've got a sprite sheet that I want to use until I can draw my own. How can I select individual images from the sheet to save in my AGS animation screen? I'm sorry if this has been covered but I just can't find it.

Hi

you could import the sheet into the sprites folder by using the  'copy from clipboard'  (provided you have copied it to your clipboard from an image editor program)and use the tiles sprite import command.

You then simple right click and drag the highlight square over the images you want, one at a time though. that way you have all the images you want in your sprites folder where you can then go on to make your 'Views'

This is using the v3.1 version

Hope this helps

You should look up "tiled sprite import" in the manual, though I think it only works for one row, not for a complete sheet.

It works for any number of rows.

Thanks guys. I did it with Paint.net and it worked a treat.
