Need any sprites done? I'm like a spriter or something.

Hmm.

Yeah.

Go think about how the sprite system should ideally be (probably torso-leg separated), and go cut up the sprites to fit with that. We can do the code, but I have no experience judging what the best and most practical thing is, because I have never made a (good) spritemod.

[Nukleus]

... Why separate legs and torso?

[notajf]

... Why separate legs and torso?

Less sprites?

[Orpheon]

... Why separate legs and torso?

Less sprites, more flexible system for changing stuff, easy way to add hats, etc...

Planning everything ahead I see...

[Dusty]

Wouldn't it actually be more sprites? there's 20 sprite sheets now (which are all divided into 5 sprites, so 100 sprites)... wait hm, I guess it would be just about the same, possibly even less if you made the intel into it's own sprite too.

[NAGN]

who cares about the total number of sprites, its a more convenient way to splice up animations as well as implement things such as removable accessories

[Saniblues]

So frankensprites. Got it.

Are you gonna stick to rotating weapons or do you wanna make an individual frame for each aim direction (via torso)

360 sprites? What?

No, we're probably going to stick to rotating weapons, unless someone finds a good reason not to.

What? No. Cardinal and Intermediate directions.

[Dusty]

Technically it's only 5 sprites for cardinal/intermediate directions, and 180 for everything else, because you flip the sprite.

[Orpheon]

Still am not seeing what advantages this gives over rotating weapons, and why it would be worth it.

non-bitmix i guess?

Why should this influence bitmixing?

[Lorgan]

Uh, if you make the sprites of the weapons yourself you can make sure that it isn't bitmixed. Currently the weapons are bitmixed when your aimdirection isn't 0, 90, 180 or 270 degrees because of the rotation. There is probably another reason, i dunno.
