Zoomed out sprites

Post by dawsongfg »

How do I make the small zoomed out sprites appear in the correct place? I have them, but they want to go to the incorrect spot. Edit: Alright, I'm using Gimp, but I need the sprites in the gallery area to move, seeing as it's the start of the trial.

Hi,

You'll need to edit the sprites in advance before uploading. The size of a DS screen (that AAO uses) is 256 pixels wide by 192 pixels tall.

If you make an image of that size with the mini sprites all placed in position, and then upload that image, you can load it in as a pop up over the courtroom overview.

I don't understand why "need the sprites in the gallery area to move" is important. Can't you just make everything except the "zoomed out sprites" transparent and overlay them on the Agitated background?

It doesn't want to go to the correct place the first time. I tried to use snipping tool then upload to Photobucket. Still goes to the incorrect place. I'm pretty sure it's scaled properly.

Could you please share the images you're using? I'll try to edit them for you to show you what I mean.

It is definitely possible to do this in GIMP. I do this on a semi-regular basis. I can go into details, but I think SuperAj has this under control.

See how I've laid them out in one image? You can do this and then add it as a popup in the editor.

At this point, making it transparent won't help photobucket because it doesn't use the format, so I'd need to use snipping tool, which doesn't exactly work properly. Edit: Nevermind, figured it out.

Use imgur instead of photobucket. That has unlimited bandwidth and doesn't add watermarks.
