Battle character set of Alex

[DarkShuyin]

I recently found these on the internet, prob some asian who made this. now my question is, can this be imported in the TLA editor? or a tool that can swap his set with..for example piers? (or an eight member? :D)

[Rockisftw]

Dunno about that but that sure is nice ^^

Epic :)

Yes you can import images with the sprite editor.

Awesome! How do I do that? o.o

You wouldn't want to use those sprites, anyway. GS adds the casting effect afterwards, so having that in the cast animation would result in seeing double. But yeah, V0.5 can import sprites.

Allright then I'll search for the 0.5 version, I got the 0.4 one I think

[Aile~♥]

It's still a development build, so it has a few bugs, but you can do all the sprite editing you want with it. The editing interface is a bit confusing, however.

Guess I'll take a look at it, where can I find the 0.5 version?

Most recent topic in News & Announcements has it.

I'll have to convert it to 16x16, but I'll suspend that matter until I find the whole battle char, with the hacking moves and what not.

I either have to find the whole thing somewhere, sometime.
or ask someone to make it.

Someone had a video with a playable Kraden in it, so it should be possible, and the last picture makes it look like the guy got it all with Alex..

I'll get back to that xD

[Atrius (He/Him)]

I made that video.

Battle sprites are 64x64, and I doubt a full sheet exists for Alex.  All I ever found was the same ones you have.

To import image files as sprites, in the sprite editing interface double click on the sprite you want to edit in the sprite set for the character to open the image editor.  At the top left of it there's an options button with a selection for loading from an image.

So that sheet it is then..
I found the part where you can edit and load a new sprite. I only have to resize the sheet in order for the editor to accept it. I'll probabaly edit the Younger Isaac's battle char for it, in case it's possible to get an eight party member, or I'll have to edit Piers/Mia

[Atrius (He/Him)]

You'll have to edit an existing party member.

[DarkShuyin]

You'll have to edit an existing party member.

Piers it is then, I'll just have to edit them over and over, in order to use them both.
that's a good price to pay in order to get Alex playable.

Edit:

Can't seem to properly resize the sheet I got, It won't let my import it >.<

I've just tested, and I have to say importing does work.

Here's a sample image. (Background is black on purpose.)


You should make the 48x48 sprites in the spritesheet into 64x64 individual images. I did them in PNG. It would be nice if we could import a whole spritesheet, though.

All of that is unknown ground to me, I'm no editor no spriter.
I have no idea how to make a sprite sheet, how to adjust it and how to resize it >.>
I'm just a guy a who wants to play with Alex haha =_=''

[Daddy Poi's Oily Gorillas]

Oh, I see. You are a complete newbie?

Well, I can tell you one thing. You're going to need to set the dimensions in a paint document.

I use Paint.NET. (Note: This is not the same Paint document you find built-in to your computer.) http://www.getpaint.net/

Step 1: Assuming you have the Alex spritesheet saved on your computer, open it in a paint document. (Ex: Paint.NET.)
Step 2: Do File => New. So we can have something to make the individual images with. The Width and Height here should be 64x64.
Step 3: Go back to the spritesheet, (first image.) Use the Tools window to select the 48x48 images. (Use the first tool in the first column to select pixels in the image, and the second tool in the second column to resize this selection.
Step 4: Once you've got what you want selected you can Ctrl+C to copy. ; You then should go to the other 64x64 canvas we created to paste this image. (Ctrl+V)
Step 5: Now is when you can do any edits you want, like resizing by dragging the nodes (The first tool in the second column should be selected.), etc.
Step 6: You can save this image when you are done, and it is ready to be placed in the editor.

[Atrius (He/Him)]

It would be nice if we could import a whole spritesheet, though.

Though it's not working yet, that's one of the functions the tools button on the main sprite editor interface should have.

[DarkShuyin]

Hmm being the newbie I am, I even failed to understand those steps >.>
I downloaded the program, and first I tried to paste the ''Alex Downed'' state in the charset as that sprite didn't appear in it

This one:


That already looked bad >.<
And well.. the rest failed too.
I suck at Photoshop, so the moment I started the program I thought to myself ''oh no..''
haha
