Serious Problem

[TamerZack]

 
Whenever I upload a sprite onto fighter factory and then test it, the sprites shows up invisible no matter what format the image was in. Any suggestions?

[Bastard Mami]

Search for the narutorials, the iamge has to be a pcx file wiht a 256 colors palette for it to be shown.

[TamerZack]

Tried that. Palette works, and I've used pcx files.

[vgma2]

when uploading the sprite change the sprite no. to anything besides 0,0

[TamerZack]

Done that too...

Post a screenshot of the image in FF.

[TamerZack]

Well, it seems my surprise WIP is exposed.
I'd rather you guys help then keep it a secret though...

I'm working on a Mac keyboard, which, for some strange reason, Apple didn't have enough brains to program a print screen button.

[Spoonman]

Is the first image (small portrait generally) correctly palettized?

[TamerZack]

Did a look through and, yeah, the pallete works.

[Spoonman]

You could upload your workfiles for the rest to check out personally. Dunno.

[TamerZack]

Maybe, I'll have to see what the others think.

[Luis Alejandro]

hmm.. the pallet doesn't look correct, to many colors.
make sure in the animation your adding the right sprite in there. Also if you didnt apply the sprites to its own pallet, then do it.

[TamerZack]

Nopo, that doesn't work either. What the heck am I dealing with?

[Dr. Mask The 3rd]

Have you set the sprite as a Standing animation in the .air file?

[TamerZack]

Yep.

[Anjel]

What is the timing on that frame? In the anim of course.
Post the anim code.

[Spoonman]

You screwed up somewhere, you didn't notice and don't know how to explain the issue. So, take the advice and  just upload the SFF for everyone to check out, 'k?

You kidding me with this shit?

I asked you if the first image was palettized and you said yes. It isn't. The first image has to have an optimized palette which will be used by the character sprites, except for the ones that have the "Shared palette" option unchecked. You shouldn't be importing images that aren't PCX either. Read a tutorial or something.

[Cyanide]

Without being nasty. He's right. You should not ever have sprites with static beneath them. That implies bad things in every direction. Mostly that the sprites have been added as 32bit images rather than 8bit.

Tutorial. Step by step. Skip nothing. Not even the bits you think you know. Read it ONCE, then read it again following the directions.

If you skip steps, we'll know. Cos your character won't work.

And please, please, don't use FF to do any conversion or pallete creation unless you really know what you're doing.
