Timaeus's Visual Custom Sprite Sheet Importing Guide

[tterry10000]

is resolution the same thing as canvas

[timaeus22222]

@tterry10000 Resolution is pixel to pixel ratio.

[tterry10000]

final thing.... it says unhanded explation or somthing like that

[timaeus22222]

@tterry10000 Like I said, your canvas is probably too big. Your image size is probably bigger than 128x128. You have to know how to check an image's canvas dimensions. Ctrl+E in Paint.

[tterry10000]

also whats canvus srry am new to this stuff 

[tterry10000]

would gimp make the error appear

[tterry10000]

hey timaeus can u help me every time I try to load the animation it just shows error

[timaeus22222]

@tterry10000 Is your canvas equal in size or smaller than 128x128?

[Frey551]

thanks for making this guide.. thumbs up :D

[kinlyki]

tim, I have a problem, I tried making a Django OW sprite file, but it always messes up. Can I get some help here?

[timaeus22222]

@kinlyki Did you load it 4 bytes after the pointer offset? For example, if you said the sprite sheet was "supposed" to be at 08800000, you should put it at 08800004.

[kinlyki]

@timaeus22222 I did, anyway I don't need it anymore, someone gave me a working dump.

[timaeus22222]

@kinlyki okay.

[Leotony250]

Tim I have a question. I made 3 different sprites. I can fight each individual sprite normally. But when I hack a battle, to battle all 3 sprites it gets odd. One of the sprites disappear and the other sprites' attacks disappear as well. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks :D!

[timaeus22222]

@Leotony250 Nothing's wrong. The game just can't handle 3 128x128 canvases on the screen at once. That's the reason the game's original sprite canvases adjust to the specific frame.

[Leotony250]

@timaeus22222 Ah I see. So what can I do to make my 3 sprites battle on the same team? And again thanks for the help :P

[timaeus22222]

@Leotony250 It's kind of impossible, actually, unless it was 2 or 3 of the same sprites, making it easier on the game.

[spectrobedude]

thanks for this video finally i can make my own patch >:)

[timaeus22222]

@moecronic Get the right green. The correct green is in paint, or it's #00FF00.

[VelvetSynclaire]

What size does the canvas that you dump the sprites from the sheet have to be?

[timaeus22222]

@VelvetSynclaire I already posted a template for it a while back.

[VelvetSynclaire]

Oh, crap I didn't even know I asked that XD wtf

[VelvetSynclaire]

I'm still having trouble with the custom sprite maker. Also, I'm trying to hack BN2 to play as protoman, would this work for that game or only BN6?

[timaeus22222]

@VelvetSynclaire This works for any Battle Network game, provided you know the sprite order. You can figure it out using Sprite List Viewer, also from TREZ, but it takes time to determine the frames in animation indexes.

[VelvetSynclaire]

@timaeus22222 where could I find the sprite order?

[timaeus22222]

@VelvetSynclaire I just told you. Using Sprite List Viewer.

[VelvetSynclaire]

@timaeus22222 Alright I tried that, but how do I figure out how many milliseconds the frames are supposed to last and loop and end?

[timaeus22222]

@VelvetSynclaire That is in the notepad that came with the zip. All numbers pertain to Hold Frame, except the type of ending put at the end is for the last number.

[VelvetSynclaire]

@timaeus22222 I'm still extremely confused. The notepad has all these actions with numbers. For example, for teleport out you only added two sprites even though the notepad has four numbers. Could you make a tutorial with a voice walkthrough? Or is there some way to IM with you?

[timaeus22222]

@VelvetSynclaire I only did that because I didn't have that many sprites. The sprite order and amount was a suggestion. Just imagine the animation and do what you see fit.

[VelvetSynclaire]

@timaeus22222 Do you have to add animations with the sprite holding a vulcan and a cannon and all that? Because they are listed in the movelist

[Leotony250]

Thanks Tim! This was very helpful xD!

[ilucasz]

i can make an special ability be a charge shot?

[timaeus22222]

Yes, but not with this.

[ilucasz]

@timaeus22222 I was talking about the image of throwing a laser megaman sprite that you used to have but then as I do that?

[timaeus22222]

What image of Megaman throwing a laser? ._.

[ilucasz]

can you do the description on portuguese?because i'm brasilian and it's a litle bite dificult to understand

[timaeus22222]

Okay.

[tijuanamarisol666]

OH MY GOSH I HAVE THAT SAME VERSION OF PHOTOSHOP! xD i feel specical now... yes that's correct: specical o.o

[MegaMatute]

You forgot to write "Read the description" in morse code :P

Is this the longest video you've ever made?

[timaeus22222]

lol. :P

Well, longest legit video. My longest was the Top 10 OCRemix Songs as of 2011, and it was 38:43. :)

[ilikecomedians]

hey is it alright if you can give a link to the order of sprites?

[timaeus22222]

Okay. It's in the description.

[ilikecomedians]

@timaeus22222 ok thanks tim.

[PLETROMEX]

so what are the songs damm it! i did not see shit

[timaeus22222]

Q: Wat r da songz?

A: The BGMs are listed at the end of the video. Some are on a forum, so if it says Grand Robot Master Remix Battle, you're outta luck unless you sign up. :)

Q: But there are seven songs, not six!!1!1!!!1!!1!!

A: There are six songs. One of them has about a five second break, and then a new rendition of it afterwards. Just listen for the melodies, tunes, and style when figuring out when a new song starts; usually there's an obvious pause.

[timaeus22222]

If you "didn't see shit", you're right. Because it's not shit. It's an exact prediction of what kind of stupid questions I'll get.

[PLETROMEX]

hey man love the vids but can you tell me what songs you used in this vid?

[timaeus22222]

Read the description. It says so in 12 different languages...

[timaeus22222]

excuse me, 13. I just added morse.

[CitoKun]

Yo are you gonna do an Ow sprite tutorial?

[Bladecrossexe]

@CitoKun If you need help, i can give you the sequence for the sprite maker.

[CitoKun]

@Bladecrossexe Alright thanks!

[Xrogi224X]

ur Bg is sexy.

[CitoKun]

Niiice. Sonata's throwing and sword animations have been only doing the first frame. Now I can fix that :D

[xwyfthdwnx]

how can we make sure the battle sprites if are positioned correctly

[timaeus22222]

Good question. I'll upload a template soon.

[timaeus22222]

Okay, read near the bottom of the description for the template download.

[Acellutor]

Can you post teh link to teh completed DMP file?

[timaeus22222]

This is actually a navi I made for Foreverisen. You'd need to give credit to me if you want to use it.

[Acellutor]

@timaeus22222 I did not mean to use it. I just want to wiew order of frames clearly for sure. Because right now, i'm working on importing Pokemon sprites.

[timaeus22222]

Well, you could always take a screenshot of the Notepad I used. :)

[timaeus22222]

@Acellutor unless you want the actual Notepad.

[Acellutor]

@timaeus22222 Oh nvm. My friend just gave me teh txt file. The sprite is now came out nice.

[timaeus22222]

Okay.

[hirumen1]

I don't see the point in me watching this I'm never getting it. T^T

[timaeus22222]

Well, it's more for those who wanted to do it. :P

[robodroid00]

[Xrogi224X]

@LegendaryCyclone gtfo, jk

[munchlaxasa]

I'm surprised your not partnered on Youtube yet

[brianuuu]

24-46 Crouch 2 Hold???

That's completely wrong ._.

[timaeus22222]

>.> I just decided to do that because it's likely that no one will choose to use that many frames.

[ahackerjack]

fuck google translator

it,s  أقراء الوصف

[timaeus22222]

It was actually pretty close, IMO.

Yours = أقراء الوصف

Google = قراءة الوصف

[ahackerjack]

@timaeus22222 They are close but actually arabic is very hard for google to translate it well and accuret

google,s = reading the description

mine = read the description

even me wrote it wrong , how embarresing , correctly it,s اقرأ الوصف

[timaeus22222]

Oh, that's what was extra. xD The ء.

[DavidCerqueiraa]

damn, you really are tired of stupid questions

[timaeus22222]

Nah, those are just to see how many people choose to read the description.

[DavidCerqueiraa]

@timaeus22222 i tell you, even though I don't know anything about hacking mmbn, i saw the video anyway. but ffs, if I don't understand the subject, i simply DON'T TALK.

[BluemoonEXE]
