    Question???

    Reply Quote
    Is there anyone who can let me know of a method to create a sprite sheet with these specifications. (Or you could always make me one but I would rather want to know how to create one as these specifications may change in the future.

    10 Rows 6 columns with each box being 100x100 , would also like the outlines of each box shown.

    I have Adobe Creative Suite 3 and would be willing to download/install any other free program that allows me to reach that result.

    Thanks i360Gamer out.

    I think it would be easier to do in Photoshop than to write a method.
    1. Create a new 600 x 1000 pixel image in Photoshop.
    2. Open up Photoshop's preferences and go into Guides, Grid, Slices, and Count and set "Gridline Every: 100 pixels."
    3. Then to show the grid go to View > Show > Grid, and then make sure that View > Snap is enabled.
    4. Drag each of your sprites into the image.
    5. Drag them into place and they will snap to the grid.

    YOU ARE A SAVIOR MY MAN.

    So, basically you multiplied the number of columns (6) by the width of the box size (100x100) and the number of rows (10) by the height of the box size (100x100), and by putting 100 as the set gridline every: add a line every 100 pixels vertically and horizontally. Am I Understanding this correctly?

    Felt like I found some money when I read your post , thanks again phort99.

    No problem, not everything has to be a huge programming task. It's easier when you've been using Photoshop for 5 years or so though.
