its sort of a draft copy I made just for practice (ok so maybe I fucked it up) (the frames got all mixed up and its too fast but I can fix that) (

http://img224.echo.cx/img224/2044/animation24wm.gif

Im gonna re-rip the sprites and redo it

[edit]
I got the animation down

I've never really tried ripping sprites, I didnt know it was so easy.
Just tested it out with DKC 2.

hey thats pretty good

I think we did well for first timers

btw how many did that take to make?
mine has about 50

and also I just found out that I cant use the animation I just made as an avatar
becuase of the 100x100 pixel limitation here, but its okay I'll use on the other forum
that I go to they have a 105x150 limitation
June 14th, 2005, 11:08
PhatPlaya

Oh, the DKC one took 126 frames.
My avatar took 53.

Ken throwing a Hedoken (is that how you spell it?)

Yup, Gouki/Akuma is the same person.

Throw away those black ones which 'indicates' Gouki moved. Better that way as it looked. :cool:

the_ghost

use the search feature to find the ones that you already made
start>search

the images get saved with the same name as the game you ripped the sprite from

@ Butters
I never filled out that path and the images always show up in the same directory as my roms

@ 305
have you checked your rom directory?

no I dont think you can.

But when your in the animation wizard (animation shop 3) you can choose the size of the animation in pixels.

oh I cant believe that I didnt see the "hide fps" option in the F1 menu, it was right in front of my face the whole time.
