Pyxel Edit, what are the dimensions for different sheets?

[KingTentacleAU]

I like to use Pyxel Edit for my sprite drawing, i recently bought MV for making a game, i want to eventually use entirely custom sprites for my final product, but i cannot seem to find the correct size settings for sprite sheets to use in the software.

i have seen some tutorials regarding this but none are specific about the sizes needed.

All help is much appreciated.

That is because the sprites have no fixed size - it is the structure that is important, not the pixel numbers.

Each single sprite consists of 3*4 cells and a spritesheet has 4*2 sprites or 12*8 cells.
All cells of a sheet need to be identical in size, but which cell size doesn't matter.

Default cell size is 48*48 same as tiles, but if you check the "big monster" sprites you'll See that they have a larger cell size.
Just choose which cell size you want and multiply that by 12*8 to get the picture size for a full spritesheet.

ok cool, i was used to needing specific sizes.

Just a word of warning, if you're using the default map editor, be careful about sprite sizes because on star tiles this issue can happen:


Star = same layer as player. If the player is below a tile, appear above, if above the tile, the player appears below.

what would be a better option to the default editor?

Oh just scale your tiles to take sprite size into consideration. There's no right way other than trial and error to be honest! I figured I should give you a heads up since I was taken off guard by this issue a long time ago.

ahh ok, cheers, i was planning on keeping it all in the same scale the game defaults to.
