How do you Combine Ganis?

UnknownMasterMind · #1 04-26-2007, 07:12 PM

I got a question, How do you combine Sprites? And I mean make several Sprites turn into one Big Sprite.

After the sprite are loaded... You click and drag them together to look like that o.O

No... Not like that, I mean how do you make them one whole gani? So I can just add the combined sprites to the sprite list itself?

Thanks anyway, Aeko.

Sincerely,
Desear

This is what I mean

This is a already made Gani, I just opened it to try and learn how, And no luck.)

Those sprites were already pre-made like that. Thats all.

Can you upload the gani?

Yes, Here is is, It's a Gani for Zone, Vulcan/Stefan didn't have time to make a custom one for zone, and just used the GK Gani.

Ever tried opening a .gani in a text editor? Add this line for example

PHP Code:


			
ATTACHSPRITE  100  170   -4   -8

That attaches sprite 100 with sprite 170, with a -4 / -8 offset.

Thank you, I will try that, as soon as I can. And get back to you. One question, how do you calaculate the offset values calculated how?

Edit: I did, and nothing showed up, I opened it up on a word document, and pasted the line with the others.

I opened the Gani in a word document, and then after saving it, I tried the Gani in the Gani Editor, And nothing new showed up.

What they do is put their sprites together, screenshot it, or already DO it in their image editor, it is already put on, transed, and put in as a gani sprite.

I know where your getting at, and yeah, you take the sprites, go into an image editor, and put them together in there, save it as a picture, and then open it and sprite it in your gani editor

Ok, Thanks.

DustyPorViva · #14 04-28-2007, 04:36 AM

It's not precombined.
If you open the gani up and drag them around, there are multiple boundry boxes enclosing each seperate sprite. So ya... they're actually combined, and not added precombined(also if they did that, the legs would seize to be loaded from the players attributes).

Really? Can you post how your gani looks in the text document? (use [ php][ /php] tags)

Actually, The reason it probably didn't show up is because it was already in it by default, Sorry. Can you make up one for this Gani that I can test?

Sincerely,

xXziroXx · #20 04-28-2007, 06:23 PM

Ok, let me show you an example.

parts of human2_idle.gani

PHP Code:


			
SPRITE  100            HEAD    0    0   30   30 head up
SPRITE  150           ATTR1    0    0   40   40 hairs up
SPRITE  170          ATTR13    0    0   40   40 mask up
ATTACHSPRITE  100  170   -4   -8
ATTACHSPRITE  100  150   -4   -8

Sprite #100 is the head, right? The two ATTACHSPRITE will attach sprite #170 and #150 to the head image, with an offset of -4x and -8y.

Makes any sense now?

DustyPorViva · #21 04-28-2007, 06:36 PM

I wonder why it's never been documented.
