Looking nice!

Totally agree on both counts. I wanted to add 8-to-4-bit importing to the sprite editor, but the code was so bad that I gave up :(

Howzzat? Confused I haven't been working with Photoshop for a while, but I don't quite remember this problem.


Grafx2 always saves BMPs in 8-bit.

Ah, I see. I thought there was an issue with conversion in Photoshop, didn't realize you were talking about grafx2.

Now my battle sprites are incompatible with the overall theme. Scrapping the current ones and starting anew.

I need scripting help.

"quick status" is a global variable (since the free command is in another script). I have three Hero Info collections, how many handles should I declare in this script?

Code:
#HP/MP bars are 78 px

#HEIRARCHY
#MenuQuickStatus
#   Big box
#      Hero info (x3)
#         Portrait BG
#         Portrait
#         Level
#         Name
#         HP border
#            HP label
#            HP bar
#         MP border
#            MP label
#            MP bar
#   Short Box
#      map name

script, create quick status, begin
   variable(???)
   quick status := load slice collection(2)
   #set visibility of hero groups
   #loop for number of heros
      #get information of hero
      #change portrait sprite
      #change hero name text
      #change hero lv text
      #calculate HP and MP bars
   #end loop
   #get map name and change short box
   #finally set MenuQuickStatus to visible
   
end

I would declare two. One for the hero info handle which you would use in the loop, and one temporary handle that you would just re-use for everything else.

But that is just my personal taste. If you felt it made the script easier to read and understand there would be no problem with declaring a handle for every single slice. (they could all be local of course, no reason to make anything global except the one global you have already.)

Right now, I'm using an edited version of my Battlesuits tileset for towns. I might ask for help if I feel like hitting a wall.

Also, I'm stuck on what pose to use for the battle sprites. I might just use the pose from the character pic.

I hate to say this, but I might need a sprite artist on staff.

Calling for coding help again. I've been searching the dictionary and I can't find a method to get a hero's portrait picture.

You want to get the hero's portrait picture? I am afraid there isn't one right now.

Can you describe the script you are trying to write? Perhaps I can suggest another way to accomplish your goal.

It's the handler script for the collection in this post: http://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=92740#92740

Ah! That looks nice.

Well, the short answer is there is no way to do it right now other than to hardcode a mapping of hero ID numbers to portrait id numbers in a script.

I will add a command in the future to get the portrait sprite for a hero.
