Where can my sprites be hosted?

Post by Clover10123 »

Couple questions about sprites.

I want to know if you can use this site to host/upload our custom sprites so they can be used in the trials we make.
If so, how? ._.

And if you can't, then can anyone recommend some hosting sites that could host an animated gif image for FREE without resizing it or anything?
Thanks<3

You can't use this site, because that's hotlinking ^_^

There are several sites that will allow you to upload for free. Try imageshack, photobucket and tinypic.

I'd recommend Imgur. Pretty much the ideal site for multiple uploads, no resizing, and easily accessible and categorized folders.

Wrong. Don't use Tinypic for .gifs, as it will screw them up.

Thanks guys. I managed to get a hosting site...
~feels like a noob. :C~
But, like, how do you get the custom sprites to work for the character?
Like, I uploaded a standing sprite for my Bella character, but when I went back to the script, the sprite didn't show up. :C

Ah. That's because when you use a custom sprite, you have to put it in your script before you save, or else it'll get wiped from memory.

No...? :?
The custom sprites don't follow the same rules as music and sound effect selections. They'll still be there even if you didn't use it and then saved the trial. :wink:

Well, like, when I click "profiles" and I upload the standing sprite for Bella, the image turned out fine.
Then I wanted to put that sprite on the script, but it didn't work for some reason.

Now you're the one who's got it wrong. :XD:
Music and SFX will disappear, whereas sprites won't. ^^'

Why do you keep aiming to pick at the wording of my posts, Dypo? It's like you have some sort of grudge against me lately... :?
It makes perfect sense... what you explained is exactly what I stated. :?

Hmm, for some reason I was under the impression that the word 'don't' was excluded. ^^' I'm getting blinder and blinder lately. :XD:

And um, no... I can't even think of a reason why I'd have a grudge... :side:
