Can Someone post a Character Sprite?

[MasterSlowPoke]

I'd like to get working on my sprites, but I'll need to look at one to see how it needs to be formated.

I hope the following helps:

http://www.enterbrain.co.jp/tkool/RP.../material.html

Each character is contained in a single file. This file can be any size, and is laid out with the character facing all four directions (down, left, right, and up) and going through four frames of movement, for a total of 16 frames. The size of the actual character will be 1/4 the height and 1/4 the width of the entire bitmap, and there are no limits on character size. The frames, when animated, will loop in a 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 1... pattern.



Image size: 128x192 pixels

I wish I could find a way to use more than four frames per walk cycle like CT. Perhaps a script trick would make that possible?

For anyone who's seen RMXP in action, does the extra frame of animation make the walking noticably more fluid than in RM1 or is it only slightly better?

Enterbrain still has the demo on their site (click the above link, and then one of the black buttons has the link to the demo) and once downloaded and installed, go to the graphics folder and you can get to some of the character sprites and tilesets.

The extra frame doesn't do a thing really. Just imagine that image without column 3, and it'd be like RPGM1's spritesets. The good news is, RMXP does like 2 frames per step, so you'll almost never see someone standing in the middle of a step like in RPGM1.

Really though, all the extra frame does is make it so that extra frame can look different than the others. Like maybe give the guy an extra eye in that frame, if you for some strange reason wanted to. It's also convenient that there's two separate poses for left and right movement, unlike RPGM1 (which combined the two, merely reversing the image when they turned around). So you can have a guy wearing a sword on his right, and it'll stay on his right.

You can have more than 4 frames of movement but you'll have to script it in yourself. There are a few that I know of floating around the web.

And when sizing your sprite, you have to make sure it's size is a multiple of 4. Other than that, a sprite can be any size you want.

Makes sense. Can I get a link, please?
