I want to edit all the sprites here, but the images are so low quality that its hard to see
i downloaded arespite but i want to know if theres any way to add images from your pc into it

fickle wasp
#

they are not low quality, they are low resolution because they're pixel art

#

also aseprite is paid

pliant breach
#

you get what i mean

#

😭

fickle wasp
#

libresprite is the free one

pliant breach
#

theres the trial version

#

of asepreite

fickle wasp
#

anyways

#

you can zoom

pliant breach
#

in the pic its at max zoom

fickle wasp
#

not in libresprite

#

or okay aseprite

#

also this looks like you just made a 1x1 pixel sprite and zoomed into it

pliant breach
#

its my mouse cursor

fickle wasp
#

have tou tried opening the images in aseprite

#

instead of making a new image

pliant breach
#

how?

fickle wasp
#

or drag and drop them into the window

pliant breach
#

lemme try taht

fickle wasp
#

...you're supposed to unzip the folder into your mods folder

pliant breach
#

..oh

fickle wasp
#

the graphics folder is supposed to be in Celeste/Mods/Fig_Skinmod_Fig/Graphics

pliant breach
#

where does the celeste folder generally go

#

i forgot

fickle wasp
#

where did you buy the game from

pliant breach
#

steam

fickle wasp
#

then right click celeste in steam, go to properties, local files and browse

#

or from olympus you can manage installations and browse

pliant breach
#

found it

#

now i put the skinmod into the mods folder?

high ember
#

I recommend pinning your mods folder so you don’t have to do that again going forward

fickle wasp
pliant breach
#

do i have to unzip it?

fickle wasp
#

yes

pliant breach
#

okay

fickle wasp
#

else you'll just make things more complicated for yourself

pliant breach
#

its unzipped now

fickle wasp
#

now you can just open the sprites and edit them

#

or replace them

pliant breach
#

oh wow

#

okay

#

thanks

#

but i dont understand what the "bangs" sprites are

fickle wasp
#

bangs are the bits of hair directly on your forehead

pliant breach
#

ooh

fickle wasp
#

bangs00 is used in most animations

#

bangs01 and 02 are used when madeline turns around without her sprite turning around

#

like idleB

pliant breach
#

okay thanks fig_thumbsup

pliant breach
#

..i cant use aseprite because it doesnt save

#

ill try out the other ones

topaz plover
#

Are you sure you are actually saving the images in the correct location and as .png files and not for example the aseprite's .ase storage format that contain layer information and other data.

I suggest libresprite, it's probably the simplest to understand and work with.

pliant breach
#

It works ingame now

#

💪

#

Im using libresprite

#

Ill keep this thread open in case i need it

pliant breach
#

update: i need help here

#

the walking animation doesnt change

#

but i have changed the sprites

#

@fickle wasp is it fine if i ping you?

topaz plover
#

The walk animation is used in cutscenes.

pliant breach
#

oh.

#

dang it

topaz plover
#

When you move youre either playong the runSlow or runFast animations.

#

If you start moving from a standstill you play the runSlow animation once and then start playing the runFast animation. If you start moving from some other action like dashing, jumping or turning around you go straight into runFast.

pliant breach
#

i see

#

yeah i tried that walk anim in prologue

#

it works

topaz plover
pliant breach
#

i didnt think people would answer that fast

#

sorry

fickle wasp
#

need i say more

#

(old screenshot)

pliant breach
#

why they colorful

topaz plover
#

Unofficial discord addons.

pliant breach
#

I wanna do something like this but i have no idea how

topaz plover
#

Smh+ Supports coloring individual hair segments. I don't remember any examples, so go look at the documentation. The hair yaml format might be different than the one you're using, just replace it with the one from the wiki page.

#

-# Also that's a really good illustration. I appreciate it a lot.

pliant breach
#

thanks

#

though whats "smh+"

topaz plover
#

It's skin mod helper plus. Your skin uses it if you used the skinmod template.

pliant breach
#

oh that

#

ok

topaz plover
#

It provides extra functionality for skins and the skin swapping etc.

pliant breach
#

tho i fear if i attempt to save the yaml files it will become [filename].yaml.txt

topaz plover
#

If you're on windows 11 press the view button and then enable file extensions.

#

No guarantees but try replacing your haircolors attribute with this.

HairAttrWithDashes:
- Dashes: 0
   Color: "9B3FB5" 
   Length: 5
   SegmentAttrs:
   - Segment: 1
      Color: "FFFFFF"
- Dashes: 1
   Color: "FF3F25" 
   Length: 5
   SegmentAttrs:
   - Segment: 1
      Color: "000000"
#

Those are just some example values.

#

You might need to set the segment 0 color before you can set the segment 1 color. I don't remember and can't check.

pliant breach
#

how do i edit the bangs

#

to make it appear like in the explanation

fickle wasp
#

the bangs sprite is just tinted and rendered behind the body

#
  • outline
pliant breach
#

so what happens if i recolor it to brown

#

in this sprite

fickle wasp
#

then the already-brown bangs will be attempted to be tinted red

#

which means the brown will be multiplied with whatever your dash color is

topaz plover
pliant breach
#

no lol

topaz plover
#

Well in that case you have to just remove the hair from the sprite and draw the hair manually into each frame.

#

Since you can't tint a single hair segment into multiple different colors.

pliant breach
#

only the bottom part of the hair

topaz plover
#

Well there's 2 other ways that have some drawbacks.

pliant breach
#

which is?

topaz plover
#
  1. You can tint the hair white, that's the same as not tinting the hair, though then you don't get custom dash colors either.

  2. Paint the hair with 2 different colors, one of the colors will be incorrect because they both get tinted. Then use a colorgrade to replace the incorrect color with a correct one after the hair is tinted.

pliant breach
#

time to try this

#

yeah thats not right

pliant breach
#

perfect.

kind gate
#

There is an ancient method that may work for it, bake bangs onto sprites except for the colorable part

pliant breach
#

wdym

#

WHY DOES THE BACKPACKLESS SWIM HAVE A BACKPACK 😭

fickle wasp
#

because there is no water past 6a

pliant breach
#

Dang

pliant breach
#

is there any backpackless swims i can download

#

because i cant get to a good outcome here

fickle wasp
#

probably flamecrafter's skin

topaz plover
#

Conveniently had this on my clipboard for confidential reasons lol. Ask permission to use these as a base.

pliant breach
#

who do i ask to?

#

oh wait

#

@blazing folio hello sir can i use the backpackless swim as a base

blazing folio
#

sure thing go ahead

pliant breach
#

thanks

kind gate

a kyaru sprite. It draws the fake hair onto sprite, but leaves the blank space to be filled by the actual hair.

pliant breach
#

Yeah but ill have to draw hair on every sprite
