[TUTORIAL] Creating new skins for MM8BDM

[Fourthwallbreak]

I'm so glad this tutorial exists! I was able to make a skin for Lucario, my favorite Pokemon. now it's just a matter of where I need to upload it to to allow people to download and use it in servers, especially if I want to start temp servers that use it...

You can use almost any file sharing service. I'd recommend Mediafire or Dropbox.

As for using the skin, you just need to drop it in your 'skins' folder and select it.

I had already known about how to use it, but thanks for the info on file-sharing sites! Now to search and make sure this isn't something already in the uploaded skin forum thing, and if it isn't already there, I might put something in...

Is it a custom sprited skin of Lucario or Mystery Dungeon Lucario?

[Fourthwallbreak]

It's Mystery Dungeon, but the one I saw in the already-made skins (on the wiki) had a broken link... it's not very original, but I've started work on another sprite of me actual self based on the Megaman default skin.

Aw man! This is very hard!

[TooLazyForAnAccount]

What about assymetric sprites? The tutorial never specifies which number is facing right and which number is facing left.

[GomamonDta56]

wait but how you create the sheets?

[alexparr]

I swear I have the frames as they were like Megaman's sprites, and it STILL says that I am missing a frame!

[alexparr]

And when I exported the pictures, they were too gosh darn big!

[alexparr]

Here's an image of what's going on.

1st of all, Zandronum says that MATT frame A is missing rotations. If you look above Zandronum, you can see that they are fine!
And 2nd, the exported sprites turned out to be too big. Whoops.

[Russel]

You need to rename your sprites. Make sure every rotation 1-8 is listed in the sprite names. If a sprite is facing left forward, it needs to have A2A8, if it's facing left completely, A3A7, back left is A4A6.
You reverse the numbers if your sprites are facing right. A8A2 for front/right, A7A3 for full right, A6A4 for back/r
