[CidIII]

Someone test out this Vincent Sprite see it works, Portrait FIXED!

[Cyberblade]

the charachter itself look fine the portrait is screwy though

[CidIII]

Yeah I can fix it, not right now though.
*EDIT* Fixed

i checked on shishi and some random pixels out of the sprite but looks good

[CidIII]

I didn't see any random pixels.

[trickstardude7]

maybe its just me well anyways looks great!

what type sprite is it

[CidIII]

Could be Type 2, whatever the Bard is that is what he is.

[CidIII]

Little test video I through together, not much but shows him in Action, there were stray random pixels... And he is a type 2 sprite.

I can easily tell if a sprite is type1 or type2 just by looking at some arms at the bottom left corner of the sheet. ;o

definitely is.

[CidIII]

The random pixels that are appearing above Vincent's head in animation must be due to how long his robe is in the sprite above.

[trickstardude7]

but if you look at the picture closely you can see pixels over his head

[CidIII]

The red ones are because his robe is way too long.

The red ones are because his robe is way too long.

Yeah there are a few pixels on the cape that are "out of bounds."  It looks like it is only in two spots, and both are from the standing frames.

BTW:  This is a diagram I drew a few days ago (but never got around to posting) that shows the bounding rectangles for the different sections of the sprite sheet.  Sections can go one pixel into the borders, but if they go two into it (or cross over where the borders change colors), they will show up in another part of the animation.  Also, in case you are wondering, the colors on the borders don't mean much.  The colors around the arm sections are based on the type 2 diagram I made earlier (because I am working on a type 2 sprite right now).

Edit:  Oops I just noticed a few other out of bounds areas:  3 in the "jumping section (they bleed into the life critical animations), 3 in on the torsos directly to the right of the bottom most singing animation (although they probably won't appear anywhere), and 1 in one of the walking animations on the bottom right.

Interesting... did you make this yourself? It looks quite good!

[CidIII]

Great Spread Sheet, I should have cleared up all the stray pixels, I'm testing him out right now.

[Sen]

What are the colors for?

[CidIII]

He said in his post they don't mean anything, and there is still two stray pixels, I'm pretty sure I fixed all the ones that were out of their boundaries.

Yes, I worked on it over the weekend.  I thought I would need something along this lines for a sprite I am working on.  I didn't release it earlier because I wanted to do a double check to make sure it is 100% right for type 2 (which is the sprite I am working on), and I needed to test it on type 1 because I don't know if it is even in the ballpark for type 1.

I think I added my color comment in my edit.  The colors drawn around any non-arm section don't mean anything.  It's is just helpful if they are alternating colors because then you know a section is out of bounds if it "crosses two colors."  Plus it just looks prettier.  The colors around the arms are color coded to the type 2 diagram I did earlier:  Red means that arm is drawn in back, Blue means it is drawn in front, and cream means it is never drawn for that type.

I was planning on tweaking the colors so they fall within the first 16 colors of a sprite (and could thus be tested in game), but I ended up moving on before doing this.  If anyone is interested, I could post the borders as a GIMP document in layers and/or as a document with a transparent background so that it could easily be pasted into anything you are working on.  So far I've only really found the borders for the top third (the walking animations) to be useful.  But then again that is only how far I am on my angel sprite.

On the video... the headband on the back looks a little glitchy.

[CidIII]

Here's the updated version in action there is still two stray pixels, could someone figure out where they are?
