Which sprite sheets (i.e. filenames)? I can take a look and see what you mean.

char00 has 1 sheet, while char0a has three four versions, char0a, char0a_b, char0a_p, and char0a_z

edit: in the character folder

Oh, certain sprites like Umaru and Mog, have different sprite sheets for all of the status effects, while the other chracter sprites' border color, including the rest of the colors that have the #101010 color code, will change dynamically in-game to the respective status effect color. So in this case some characters only have one sprite sheet, and others have multiple.

would this effect the sprites that i change completely, would the sprites have to be to scale or can they be altered {height wise}.

Basically, there's an invisible grid around each character. You have a bit of padding for the height and width, but not much. I'd test it out to see how big the invisible square is, by adding pixels and seeing where the cut off is.

Is there a way to alter it? I want to add atleast 1 head higher to add more detail, if not I'll look for ways to use the grid to my advantage. thanks

Nope the sprite sheets are static at the moment. Be sure to post your progress. Good luck!

Edit: Here are the steps I perform when replacing an entire sprite sheet from another sprite sheet. Be sure to read them in case you haven't worked with indexed mode or color pallettes.

So just a heads up, After multiple attempts of creating concept art for the game that wouldn't look creepy/ out of place, I've decided to repaint the sprites while changing certain aspects giving it a more darker feel. I am however completely changing as of now zero's sprite sheet I will be changing a few sprite sheets in the future, and If i decide to again change the sprites completely I will upload both the new sprites + the "reskin" characters for your preference. As of now though I will be focusing on the reskins.

Hey, I've been trying to edit palettes using the guide but I'm having no luck getting it to display properly in the game.

I was using Gimp, but even when I rearranged the palette for the background and the outline it displayed wrong in game.

I got Photoshop CC to see if could duplicate your method, but I can't seem to reorder the color table in CC to place bg color and outline into the first two slots.

I opened the extracted sheet, the edited sprite sheet and made a new sheet. Background color is the same.

I copied my sprites into New sheet, cut them out and generated the palette. Saved palette. Pasted my sprites back.

Went to original sprite sheet and cut them out. Loaded my palette file, pasted the originals back.

Pasted my edits on top of the sprite sheet. Exported as a bmp. Inserted it into the corresponding GZ folder.

Load game, still looks like a zombie. Do I have to edit all of the entries in the color index one by one just to get the bg and outline to the top of the list?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!
