Hello,

I'm trying to make a series of animation frames on one image. I've every frame on png files (ie 0.png , 1.png , 2.png ecc.. ), for a total of 21 frames ( so 21 png files ).

I wonder if exist a program that auto-make a sprite sheet from those single png frames. Can anybody help me ?

Thanks

There is the ImageJoiner tool which comes with AppGameKit (check IDE\utilities folder) but I haven't personally used it. Presumably you're asking because you'd like to make an animated sprite? If the imageJoiner doesn't work out, you can do it manually with the AddSpriteAnimationFrame(spr,img).

I make these by hand in photoshop since I can get exactly what I want.

I have used this one:

I made this utility but some people said it didn't work for them: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=190532&b=41
I was planning on making a new version in AppGameKit but haven't got around to it yet... It is possible using AppGameKit getImage to create your own sprite sheets.

I purchased the full AppGameKit, and now I can use "ImageJoiner".

Now I can make a Sprite Sheet , but I've another probelm:
it seems that LoadImage() ignore the subimages.txt , so when I call PlaySprite() , the frames are displayed in wrong order.

How can I fix this ? thank you very much

PS: I'm using SetSpriteAnimation() , is it ok ?

don't use imagejoiner to pack animated sprites.
imagejoiner does not keep the sequence of your sprites one after the other

YEAH! that's the real problem !


EDIT: Well, I've solved this problem using the tool by baxlash by the way I'd like to know if there is a way to make ImageJoiner to work or to load the subimages.txt file properly

Use a gosub command when working with sprites instead of a function command. Here is my subimages information. (I got these from Cliff so Cliff deserves the credit.)

Here is the code in main


Here is the walls2_subimages.agc. Your subimages.txt must have the same same as your .png file.


Here is the walls2 subimages.txt (the name of the file is walls2 subimages.txt that is because my .png is walls2.png. If you change that to your own .png file make sure you change the subimages.txt name to reflect that.

Shudder...

Why did they have to use spiders as the example?
