Sprite sheet expanion

[ShizuuArtt]

I've been looking around and can't seem to find an answer to my question.


I was wondering if there's a way to make a sprite have more stages to a walking/running animation? The default sprite sheet in RPG Maker VXAce is 12 in total, 3 x 4... is there any way to make it, say... 4 x 4(like in RPG Maker XP) or 6 x 4? Any number really.

There are but you would need a plugin for that. This one might suit your needs.






And because it is not a resource request but a plugin issue, I'm going to move this to Plugin Requests.

Thank you very much! Sorry if this is clear and I'm just missing it, but how do you use a plugin? Is it the same as scripts?

Plugins are Scripts written for a more user-friendly interface that replaced the script editor from Ace in MV

Are you using Ace or MV? I'm thinking I may have wrongly assumed MV...

 

[ShizuuArtt]

I am using Ace, I should have said that at the beginning, lol. It's alright, it was an easy mistake to make when I wasn't very clear.


Since you said it replaced the script system, I'm guessing plugins do not work in Ace.

I've moved this thread to Ace Script Request. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.



No, Plugins are for MV only - but there are already several scripts for Ace that give you the ability to have more frames, just search them in the Ace Master Script List

in the script editor:


goto Sprite_Character and look below the line


def set_character_bitmap


the math to divide the frames are set there.

That is subjective, really.


I reached the point where I prefer pure text configuration over that ... thing in MV.


I wonder how script writers do expandable settings for their scripts in that plugin interface? o.o


But on the topic, if I remember right, Dekita wrote a script for this, and most probably some other people as well.

Thank you all very much for the help, it helped a ton!
