#

still dk where the other player's texture is being set to the sprint tex

copper nacelle May 20, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

it got sent as sprint

#

like the handling thing did [1][Knight] = sprint

fair rampart May 20, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

I may have found the problem

#

So the server sends a request for textures from all players on each scene change to test if the player has changed skins

#

it sends the current stored hash codes for the current players' textures in a packet, and the client checks if it matches its current textures' hash code

#

if it does, in the case of the main knight texture, it retrieved the tk2dSprite's current sprite def

#

which, during a scene transition, briefly becomes the sprint texture's definition

#

so I just had to change it from tk2dSprite -> GetCurrentSpriteDef to tk2dSpriteAnimator -> GetCurrentClipByName("Idle") -> -> -> spriteDefinitions[0]

#

basically, fuck tk2dSprite all my homies prefer tk2dSpriteAnimator

is GetHashCode reliable for Texture2Ds?

unborn flicker May 21, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

probably not, would be my guess

fair rampart May 21, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

time to compare every single pixel of every texture every scene change GWczoneHotdog

unborn flicker May 21, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

hash codes are only guaranteed to be equal for the same object reference

#

for example, dictionaries with the same keys and values don't always give the same hash code

safe hamlet May 21, 2020, 1:25 AM

#

i mean they can be overriden so it might have a custom impl

#

but i wouldn't put my bet on it

copper nacelle May 21, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

I mean dictionaries are very mutable

safe hamlet May 21, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

i thought textures would have like a different hash on their own, i know texture has one

copper nacelle May 21, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

hash code probably just isn't overridden because that's pointless

safe hamlet May 21, 2020, 1:26 AM

#

for dictionaries?

copper nacelle May 21, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

yeah

safe hamlet May 21, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

yea

copper nacelle May 21, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

mutable structures don't make sense as keys

safe hamlet May 21, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

they don't

unborn flicker May 21, 2020, 1:27 AM

#

yeah, I was just pointing out that hash codes should not be interpreted as meaning the underlying data is somehow equal, or something

copper nacelle May 21, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

yeah but for data based types they're supposed to be

unborn flicker May 21, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

in fact, usually the properties that make a hash reliable are pretty order dependent

copper nacelle May 21, 2020, 1:28 AM

#

and if overridden have to be in order to conform to the spec

safe hamlet May 21, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

i was talking about like texture2d already having gethashcode implemented to handle pixel differences

copper nacelle May 21, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

equal objects will have equal hashes if they override it and are designed properly is what I was trying to say

#

so like checking it is a good idea

#

because if it does then there's no reason to bother

#

I think texture2d : texture so it should have a hash if Sid says texture has one

#

you can downcast Tex to tex2d at least

fair rampart May 21, 2020, 1:32 AM

#

I saw that Texture has imageContentsHash

#

but I can't access it for some reason

#

#

just make your own out of getpixels() like sf said then

fair rampart May 21, 2020, 3:17 AM

#

Would something like this work

public static int Hash(this Texture2D tex)
        {
            Color32[] texPixels = tex.DuplicateTexture().GetPixels32();
            List<byte> byteList = new List<byte>();
            for (int pixel = 0; pixel < texPixels.Length; pixel++)
            {
                byteList.Add(texPixels[pixel].r);
                byteList.Add(texPixels[pixel].g);
                byteList.Add(texPixels[pixel].b);
                byteList.Add(texPixels[pixel].a);
            }

            byte[] byteArray = byteList.ToArray();

            int hash = BitConverter.ToInt32(byteArray, 0);
            
            return hash;
        }

#

DuplicateTexture() is another extension method I made to return a readable Texture2D in case the src texture wasn't

#

I often gets 0s for the hash

copper nacelle May 21, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

this ain't it

#

it's gonna use the like

#

first pixel

#

and that's about all

safe hamlet May 21, 2020, 3:21 AM

unborn flicker May 21, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

You have to keep in mind that an int32 cannot possibly encode your image. What you want is to incorporate all of the data into a number and hope that the unlikely event of a collision does not occur

safe hamlet May 21, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

usually you would use some manipulation using prime numbers to do that

unborn flicker May 21, 2020, 3:24 AM

#

for (int i = 0; i < hash.Length - 1; i += 4)
{
  val = 17 * val + 31 * BitConverter.ToInt32(hash, i);
}

leaden hedge May 21, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

you can store some extra info to make collisions less likely, like hash of rgb, rg, rb and gb the chances of something matching all 4 but not being the same is kinda low

#

check the pins

#

it tells you

jade willow May 22, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

where does it tell me? it only tells me how to get a reference to the object with
"Find a specific asset with:"
ab.LoadAsset("ASSET_NAME");
I got that far, the next step teaches me about how to deal with scenes, but I want to do something with the object I bundled first I just want to see it, with Logs I've been able to see its data such as its transform position and such, but not been able to instantiate it properly

#

or does LoadAsset actually put it in my scene and for some reason it's not showing up

copper nacelle May 22, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

instantiate and set active

did it work because i swear i saw something about it not working

jade willow May 22, 2020, 10:14 PM

I wrote that it didn't work but I wanted to try something else before claiming it did not work

#

darn, didn't work :/
It's quite visible and fairly huge in the editor, I just can't seem to get it to show up

#

ah... I thought it would show up as pink as mentioned in the pin first and then I'd have to set that up

#

I'll give that a shot!

#

it wasn't showing up at all, if it showed pink I would've been exceedingly happy at getting my object to manifest itself in some way haha

ornate rivet May 22, 2020, 10:22 PM

can you post your code?

just the part that relates to the assetbundling

jade willow May 22, 2020, 10:23 PM

okay, I'll remove the logs I'm throwing in to check stuff, one sec

                string assetBundlePath = Path.Combine(Application.streamingAssetsPath, "CustomAreas/customtutorial");
                AssetBundle ab = AssetBundle.LoadFromFile(assetBundlePath);

                GameObject myOwnStuff = ab.LoadAsset("NewStuff") as GameObject;

ornate rivet May 22, 2020, 10:29 PM

and you should be able to just do Instantiate rather than GameObject.Instantiate

ornate rivet May 22, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

also a good point

copper nacelle May 22, 2020, 10:31 PM

#

otherwise you have to do some form of T.Instantiate where T : UnityEngine.Object

jade willow May 22, 2020, 10:32 PM

#

Instantiate does not exist in the current context, and the solutions are all to just make my own instantiate method

#

ah so yeah okay I wasn't going stir crazy, I can't just instantiate from the mod

#

I'd need to have another class which extends Monobehaviour to instantiate my stuff I guess

copper nacelle May 22, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

UObject

#

UnityEngine.Object

#

whatever you want

#

they're the same thing

#

you don't have to do it off your own class

ornate rivet May 22, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

so does NewStuff have it's own spriterenderer because in the code you posted you get the sr of that when myImage has the sr in the picture

jade willow May 22, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

oh! right, NewStuff is just a container, my bad one sec

#

the image is the child

ornate rivet May 22, 2020, 10:35 PM

#

and are you sure it spawns where you think it does?

jade willow May 22, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

so far I haven't seen it at all. if I spawn NewStuff(which is just an empty container) at 0,0,0 then the objects should appear at the local offset they're set at, right?

#

newstuff is at 0,0,0 and myImage is at 112.6 etc etc

#

could it be possible to have access to the gameobject's transform information without being able to load it from the asset bundle?

ornate rivet May 22, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

yea they should

#

but you do make new scenes in your mod?

jade willow May 22, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

so good news, none of the checks returned null

#

so there is something at the very least it is detecting

#

but I can't get it to appear yet

#

oh I would also need to set the child active right?

copper nacelle May 22, 2020, 10:54 PM

#

no

#

why are you waiting a frame when stuff is null

#

all my homies yield break;

#

I'd just instantiate with default args and then move it over to where you are

#

less effort

jade willow May 22, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

I just copied the check I saw above to be fair, I don't want it to do anything when it is null I just want to make sure I get the log if its null

copper nacelle May 22, 2020, 10:58 PM

#

idk how well mixing path stuff works fwiw

#

path.combine is supposed to use os path delimeter

#

just make it 3 args

jade willow May 22, 2020, 11:00 PM

#

No overload for method combine contains 3 args

#

tried to just instantiate the object and then move it to the player's position

#

didn't work either...

ah so i dont need to download this new one if i have the old one then

no you do need to download it

well... I officially don't get it :/

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

If you have the assets and the dll I could give it a shot

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

thank you, by dll do you mean my mod's dll?

#

all I did was take an image and dropped it into the asset folder and put it on the scene in unity, turned it into a prefab and bundled it

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

yeah

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

is it okay to drop files in here?

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:30 AM

#

yeah

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

📎 ExampleMod3.dll

#

Do you want the bundle or just the image I tried getting into the game?

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

the bundle

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

📎 imagetest

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

any manifest

#

idr if you need it

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

📎 imagetest.manifest

#

if it is relevant, it is in a folder named "CustomAreas" inside the StreamingAssets

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:34 AM

#

so you have it set up like this, right?

📎 unknown.png

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:35 AM

#

Yes same set up

#

oh also this bundle is no longer the NewStuff which was an empty object, I just dropped the image and made a prefab of it then bundled it

#

so no messing around with getting child and all that

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:37 AM

Okay

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:39 AM

hmm I wasn't getting that, lemme check

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

it's imagetest

#

instead of customtutorial

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

Oh maybe I sent you the wrong one

#

before I rewrote that one second

#

📎 ExampleMod3.dll

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

are you sure this doesn't load during the knight creation screen and then die at the scene load

#

this is also imagetest

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:41 AM

#

yeah that's the new bundle I use

#

I dropped the previous one to use this new one which only contains the image

#

Oh wait should I have the assets load at some other point in code?

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

doesn't really matter but idk when this instantiate is going to exactly happen

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:43 AM

#


IEnumerator OnSaveLoad()
        {
            Log("I ain't ready!");
            yield return new WaitWhile(() => HeroController.instance == null);
            Log("READY!");```

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

yeah

#

that's after the knight loads

#

not necessarily after the scene is loaded

#

afaik

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

Ah....

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

But I'll check

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

omg if that's it then I've been struggling all this time for nothing

#

oh well, we learn the most from our mistakes at least

#

I thought for sure they would render the entire scene and then load the knight and set it at a position (assumptions are bad I know)

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

there's a scene for loading the knight stuff

#

idr the name

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

I'll move that part of the code into an OnSceneLoad as I planned on doing as soon as I got it working

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

yeah it's getting yeeted out of existence

📎 unknown.png

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

It's always like that

#

Should've done it right from the get-go but I just wanted to see it pop-up first. Alright I'll implement that in the scene load and see if that fixes it

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:47 AM

#

it is supposed to be here

📎 unknown.png

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:48 AM

#

wait really

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:48 AM

#

why is it behind the camera

#

or really far back

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:48 AM

#

Oh I think that was me messing with its Z to try and see if it was just behind something

#

what's a safe Z to use to start with?

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

0

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

📎 unknown.png

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:49 AM

#

That's weird, the reason I used that position is because that's the position I got from the HeroController's position when I jumped at the spawn from level6

floral furnace May 23, 2020, 3:50 AM

#

you dont understand 56

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:51 AM

#

What's the Hook used in your code example, it uses two arguments for what I assume to be the previous scene and the one that is loaded

#

private void ActiveSceneChanged(Scene arg0, Scene arg1)

#

on the hook reference I saw BeforeSceneLoadHook and SceneChanged which both only have 1 argument (maybe it's an overload of one of these)

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.activeSceneChanged

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:54 AM

#

Oh it's not a ModHook I see

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:54 AM

#

idk if SceneChanged got fixed to use BeginSceneTransition

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:55 AM

#

or a base one it's a new hook

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:55 AM

#

but last I checked it only triggered for stag statioins

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:55 AM

#

ah I see

#

okay so I'm better off using this as a hook instead

#

since it should be more reliable

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:55 AM

#

yes

jade willow May 23, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

Thank you so much for helping me out!

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 3:59 AM

#

np

jade willow May 23, 2020, 4:04 AM

#

oh, right I think the asset bundle shouldn't be loaded more than once right?

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 4:04 AM

#

that would be a good idea

#

I have it as an instance variable and load it in Initialize

jade willow May 23, 2020, 4:04 AM

#

alright thanks :D

#

so it can be accessed from anywhere anytime

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 4:05 AM

#

yeah

jade willow May 23, 2020, 4:09 AM

#

So I can confirm I saw it show up on the title screen (I'll just add a condition to check in which level you are and this way it should only show up in that one level and not the others)

fair rampart May 23, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

Do you think I should name the pngs after their charm number, like 5.png for baldur shell, or an actual name, like baldur.png

#

the former is easier to parse, but I can see it causing problems for charms like kingsoul and grimmchild

#

I already have a Baldur.png, so I'll just append Charm to the end of every charm name PepegaSlash

#

yeah

#

like all of my version of CustomKnight?

unborn flicker May 23, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

Nah, just the charm sprites

#

It's a lot of stuff to put into one mod, I think

vocal spire May 23, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

that is a lot of new sprites

unborn flicker May 23, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

Well, it's a matter of opinion

#

But I feel like it would be better to have the "main mod" be changing out the knight sprites, and then have separate mods for changing out other things, so that you don't need 60 pngs in the custom knight folder for it to work

#

idk though, I spoke a lot more confidently about it than I actually feel zote

fair rampart May 23, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

you don't need all the pngs for it to work, it changes textures to the default if they're not included

vocal spire May 23, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

I just want to customize charms, whether it is a separate mod or not

unborn flicker May 23, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

Yeah, true. It comes down to how far you plan to expand it

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

I don't see why it isn't literally just all sprites at this point

fair rampart May 23, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

we're sitting at 44.6 MB rn folks

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

It would be really easy to do

vocal spire May 23, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

imagine everything in hollow knight being customizable

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

You can just dump the textures at runtime on first load of you don't want mod size to go up

unborn flicker May 23, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

Is that compatible with the ingame texture swap menu though?

vocal spire May 23, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

if everything in hollow knight was customizable, every custom knight mod would be an entirely new game

copper nacelle May 23, 2020, 6:24 PM

why wouldn't it be

You can't access by pixels

Otherwise you wouldn't need the render texture hack to get a png

it should be doable at runtime at way over 60fps

getting the spriteList texture gets the entire atlas, but setting it with Sprite.Create changes only the individual sprite

managed to load into a new scene with oniro, but now it remains stuck in "Trans State: Loading" upon entering the gate to get to that new scene
also everything is dark so we're not sure if it actually fully worked or not yet, the scene name seems fine and shows as the actual scene name which is "ModScene1" and GameState "Entering Level"

#

Is there more stuff to set-up upon loading a scene or should it work by just transitioning into the scene

#

that we have (I think) it was just a empty gameobject containing a collider2D which we used the name to refer to in the CreateGate func

#

I think we're only creating the gateway when we get into the area, should all gateways be created onLoad or something?

#

yes from the base game in the tutorial area we have a gate created, we managed to get it to teleport the player to another gate in another pre-existing scene

#

but in order to load into the modded scene we need to make sure that the gate in the modded scene was created before the first gate was created?

#

or am I getting this wrong

#

so we do that, but the place we call CreateGate is when we check that we are inside the area which I guess is too late since the initial gate already needs the modded scene's gate to be created before it can be created, right?

#

okay so that should work, should all gateways be created at the start of the function or is it okay to create the gate once we verified that we are in the relevant area?

jade willow May 24, 2020, 1:53 AM

#

just to be sure loading a scene should load all of the assets in it, right?

#

still stuck in loading

#

are there some elements that absolutely must be in the custom scene for it to work?

I think I have a better understanding on the relationship between sprites and textures

#

individual sprites are a subsection of a texture atlas if they're packed

#

in that case, I can't even access the sprite's rect or textureRect to yeet into Sprite.Create because the sprites' packing modes is Tight

thanks a bunch, really mean it

jade willow May 24, 2020, 8:45 PM

#

what is the proper way to bundle a scene? Is it to just make a bundle and put the unity scene file in it?

#

okay so at least that's not the wrong way to do it, and loading a level should happen through a created gate, right?

#

and in order for the gate to work based on the name you give it, does it just need to be a collider2d in the scene with a name specified (i.e.: "left customlevel")

#

yeah that's the code used to create the gate, we have no problem creating a gate to hook it to another level that already exists within the game, but we can't seem to get it to load into a new scene, it only remains on "loading" which seems to indicate something's wrong

#

the asset bundle for it detects the name of the scene without an issue and it goes into the right loop to create the gate

#

using the scene's name to verify if we're going into it, we do get the right Logs stating we're into that part of the loop, but it's as if the level could not load

#

Oniro's the one working on that piece of code, I'll try to ask him if he could do something with that, thanks :D

#

we set it to be something like
scene name is "ModScene" and the entry point is "left customscene"

#

I mean to be fair we're probably kinda dumb, but it's part of the learning process

#

which is the name of the gameobject containing only a collider2d set to isTrigger

#

oniro's eating right now but he'll get on sending you the repo when he's back

#

yes that is what we used to create the gateway from tutorial_01 to the top entry gate in town. by changing the name "right1 custom or whatever" to the name of the gameobject in the scene which is meant to be used as a transition point ("left customscene") we end up in an infinite loading

#

(really expecting it to be a very simple fix that just flew right past us tbh)

#

the gate "left1 custom or whatever" along with its coords and size values gets created, but does it need to point to a pre-existing gate in ModScene? I thought it would look for a GO with the name used in the param next to the scene's name

#

okay but by default gameobjects created in unity don't have the components assigned to them which I suppose we need to set-up in code. But that's taken care of when we run through the CreateGateway function right?

#

okay so if we run through CreateGateway to make the gate to the ModScene when entering Tutorial_01 and then create the gateway to return to Tutorial_01 from the same gate in ModScene when we enter ModScene this should be an okay implementation

#

(sorry gotta brb)

how does it detect ground?

#

would just any collider work

#

because the gate was right on top of a cube with a collider2D on it

ornate rivet May 24, 2020, 9:46 PM

you need to set the layer of the gameobject to 8 as well

jade willow May 24, 2020, 9:47 PM

probably less time consuming with code

yourGo.layer = 8;

#

list of all the layers

jade willow May 24, 2020, 9:48 PM

#

but you'd have to set each ground tile to layer 8 individually, right?

ornate rivet May 24, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

there's also a GlobalEnum that has them

#

yes

#

bruh how is it working then? It shouldn't play the proper animation otherwise

copper nacelle May 24, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

there's a tag too iirc

#

otherwise you just kinda float on the ground

jade willow May 24, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

so probably recursively look through all game objects, looks for a part of its name you can identify it so probably ground or wall in its name and set each to the right layer based on that?

ornate rivet May 24, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

If you have all your ground tiles grouped together (eg they are all children to the same parent) then you can just for loop

jade willow May 24, 2020, 9:50 PM

is there something wrong with your ground?

jade willow May 24, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

But not having ground wouldn't prevent the level from loading, right?

ornate rivet May 24, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

it wouldn't

jade willow May 24, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

you could theoretically load into an almost empty scene that only contains a gameobject with a collider used as the transition gate, right?

ornate rivet May 24, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

yes

jade willow May 24, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

it should at least load even if nothing would be visible since no camera or something like that, unless there are some dependencies like some objects absolutely required on every scene to be able to load

ornate rivet May 24, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

camera would exist

#

it would just be a black bg with white particles

jade willow May 24, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

my guess is that the same camera gets moved from scene to scene, right?

#

that'd make sense

#

so the reason why the scene does not load is unrelated to its content

#

using the debug mod the transition state remains at loading

i thought for sure you'd need a GO with the same name as the one you used so it would find it and create the gate at its position or something

do you want the unitypackage

#

or you could easily just google it

leaden hedge May 25, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

when i google it, it just says the default sprite shader is like some super basic thing

#

but when i use that to override the shader they have it just breaks

#

unless theres some reference on a script i have to update

fair rampart May 25, 2020, 8:22 PM

idk if this helps, but the shader name for HK objects is Default/Sprites-ColorFlash

Probably a noob question, but... I’m updating nail damage in the AttackHook and again in the AfterAttackHook and it doesn’t update. Checking the log it seems the value is updated, the game just doesn’t use the updated value. And I also tried adding the PlayMakerFSM.BroadcastEvent(“UPDATE NAIL DAMAGE”) after every nail damage update and it’s still not working. What am I doing wrong?

Hey guys. So I tried to figure out the camera for my custom scene, but to no avail. When I get to my custom scene, the camera will not follow me when I try to go on my other platforms(which are to the left), but will follow me to the right. Here is an example of the current behavior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBK9BbXFLJA&feature=youtu.be

Hollow Knight Camera Test

#

I thought it was related to an element named "_Camera Lock Zones" as I saw it in many scene with world edit, but even after I added it there were no changes

#

Ahhhh that would explain. I got the bad habit of going into negative when I work with unity scenes. Is there a maximum it will go?(more out of curiosity, I don't believe I'll ever do a scene huge enough)

#

yeah most probably

#

Oh for sure.

#

yeah the camera works no problem now, thanks.

#

wait jngo102 what program is that? does it work with customknight (as in can you animate using onion skin and then export it into a sprite sheet)?

#

the biggest pain of editing the sprite sheet is that there's no onion skin

fair rampart May 27, 2020, 3:14 AM

#

It's unity, which I'm using to setup sprites, not draw them

languid goblet May 27, 2020, 3:15 AM

#

oh

#

darn

fair rampart May 27, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

However, I am using krita to create some sprites, which does have onion skinning animation, and spritepacker to pack animation frames into sprite sheets

languid goblet May 27, 2020, 3:16 AM

#

wait krita can do that?

#

how can you set it up to export the sprites to the correct locations?

vocal spire May 27, 2020, 3:19 AM

I have added the feature of rapid fire with grimmchild in grimm coop

wdym? I just replaced the sprites that were exported by GODump

languid goblet May 27, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

wait oh nvm i misread that, i thought krita exported the image files straight into a sprite sheet

#

didn't see spritepacker

languid goblet May 27, 2020, 3:53 AM

do you have the dumped sprites? i think GODump was made to only work on windows, since the readme talks about AppData

I have so many simple custom knight ideas that won’t take too much effort but will still be somewhat enjoyable for people yet I don’t know how. Guess I gotta wait on benji for that sprite packer tutorial

languid goblet May 27, 2020, 4:52 AM

#

i'm working on thunder knight which is mostly just a recolor but has lightning bolt shaped horns, and i'm very worried that the horns are going to end up in weird positions because there's no onion skin

#

i'm going to go insane if a bunch of the horns are in weird positions and i have no idea which sprites i need to fix

fair rampart May 27, 2020, 5:38 AM

I've been using sprite packer and it's pretty intuitive, aside from having to search for and replace duplicate sprites

@solemn rivet I have a very minor edge case issue to report on the Mod Installer... It's more of a nitpick, really. I had previously disabled the mods months ago. I wanted to play with mods, so I opened the tool and installed some mods and then enabled them. Job done! However, when I launched the game the API was out of date according to a few mods. So I opened it again and it finally checked for updates!

The meat of the issue is that it doesn't check for updates upon re-enable. Like I said ultra mega nitpick, but you know... bug reports ftw i guess?

#

i don't even know if I'm pinging the right person..... Wait, it's a green name. Got it now!
