Complete noob. Such a noob, I don't even know if that's something people say anymore.
I'm trying to make my own patch/mod/game/whatever-it's-called for personal use and your website and forum have been an invaluable resource to me. I've done pretty well on my own, but I've reached the point where I have to ask for help, so I've read your posting guidelines and used the search feature and checked the wiki, but I can't find what I'm looking for.
I want to take a portrait from one sprite and assign it to another sprite. (Ex. Ramza's sprite with Delita's portrait.) I don't have the programs or the savvy required for spriting, so I concoted the idea that if I opened, for example, Ramza and Delita's sprites in Paint and cropped one of their portraits and pasted it onto the other one's, that I could successfully do this.
Problem I'm encountering: I can't open sprite files in paint, so I'm trying the bitmap files, but the portraits are all inverted.
Questions: Would this work to begin with? If it would, does it matter that in paint the portraits are inverted-looking? They weren't when I downloaded them.
Feel free to ignore if this is a dumb question. Any response is very appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.
If it at all matters, I want to give another sprite Miluda's portrait.
