Multisparrow Character Support

[THEkatinamicrowave]

does multisparrow character support exist in this engine yet?

Do you mean multiple Sparrow atlases for characters?

[THEkatinamicrowave]

yes like in vslice

[NexIsDumb]

you can put all the sparrow into one folder, name the folder as the sprite name you want to give it and rename the various pngs and xmls as numbers, like: 1.png, 1.xml, 2.png, 2.xml, etc
this also works for just images, they'll get turned into frames, like: 1.png, 2.png, 3.png, etc

oh ok
so if I have a character folder with left.png/xml right.png/xml and etc etc (like Phase 3 Tricky in VS Tricky V2) that works?

[NexIsDumb]

ye just make a folder named tricky or smth like that and put inside the pngs and xml, renaming them like 1.png, 1.xml, 2.png, 2.xml, etc
character creation handles automatically multisparrows, but you can also call this manually inside the code using either for example CoolUtil.loadAnimatedGraphic or Paths.getFrames
inside the character editor you'll have to put the path of the sprite as characters/tricky for example
