alucardX Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 2 hours ago, Syntax Error said: the gimp export needs to have a specific setting id have to check it seems run length encoded : off store color space information : off advanced options seems to be disabled on the font.bmp that comes with the newproject template but since i use aseprite now, which i already had its not a problem, its a bit easier to work with too, gimp is just too much for this GIMP is a lot, this is very true. I don't mind using it as long as it produces the files I need. I can setup a template with the parameters the way I want it and work from there. I like aseprite but the copyright holder somewhat recently made it non-free software. If I find any more GIMP quirks in relation to producing images for use with JagStudio I'll report them back here for others to see.

Syntax Error Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 im a space invader now ! i just wanted to end in beauty by saying im going to shut up about this b/c its clearly not clear yet , i had to export the file in gimp WITH color space and then without b/c the first time i got a compiler error but otherwise it worked so i dont really know and i have weird palettes like 110 or 150 entries while the init file states "16bit" (so i assume thats after conversion) but the most important thing i seem to have found is that spritesheets need frames that are "under" each other heh ... not being used to that , the other stuff i used can do horizontal or even block sheets with rows and colums its a messy vid but it shows this is not for the faint of heart ... so as i said, until im a bit more sure of what im doing or i have at least a level to display i think im gonna shut up about it and keep tinkering in silence Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/265885-rb-tutorial-6-tools-of-the-trade/page/2/#findComment-5489516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 You guys seem to enjoy overcomplicating things. Load in PSP6 or 7 and save. Load in XNVIEW and save. simplez.

agradeneu Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 For 8 bit and 24 bit, aseprite is best. I only use gimp for converting to 4 bit or sorting the color palette. And then you need to switch off " write/store into color space blahbah" when exporting to bmp. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/265885-rb-tutorial-6-tools-of-the-trade/page/2/#findComment-5489593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
