Is there anyway to easily change the character sprites + weapon sprites + the GUI and stuff while still being able to play on vanilla servers?

[Derpduck]

Use plugins.

[xX_llamalover_Xx]

That doesn't make sense to me :/
Which plugin?

EDIT: btw I'm looking to change the sprites to custom ones I've made

[Derpduck]

Ask someone to make a plugin to replace sprites in the Plugins section, one did exist, so if someone has it they could adapt it.

[Lorgan]

If you have gm pro you can just change the sprites there and you'll still be able to connect to vanilla servers.
If you have gm lite you can change the sprites there and send me the source, i can compile it for you.
Or you could use vindicators sprite loader but that will mess with the hitboxes and you need to know the exact name of the sprites you want to change.

[Saniblues]

I don't see why they don't just use a separate sprite to handle the collision masks to make that brand of thing easier

[Phantom Brave]

has someone really not yet made a spriteloader that doesn't destroy the collision masks

[Orangestar]

can't we just
have a unified collision for all the classes to follow?
like make a dummy whateverxwhatever sized sprite and go into the object and set that for collision

[Phantom Brave]

no

Isn't this sort of what happens in TF2 custom servers with model changes? Saxton Hale has the Soldier's hit-box.

[Phantom Brave]

every single class in tf2 has the exact same collision hull to begin with

the hitboxes are completely different

[Catman]

Yeah, what I mean is that even though the model has changed the hit-box is the same as it was before. It would make sense to do that with modified sprites.

[Phantom Brave]

I don't think you understand the difference.

[Catman]

Probably not.

We could very much use a sprite change plugin that doesn't break stuff and maybe also only changes the player's sprites and not anyone else's.

[Saniblues]

Make a feature request to assign separate sprites as hitmasks or something to make modding sprites a bit smoother. That's something that can be done in game maker.
