[TUTORIAL] Creating new skins for MM8BDM

[MagnetMan497]

Just use Paint.net, it's a ton easier for spriting than gimp.

I used this for transparency and it fucked my guy up since he has a lot of black! What now?

You could have used Ctrl+Z to revert it, but you're pretty much screwed if you already saved it like that. Check if the black on the outside is different from the black outlines of your sprites, maybe you can revert it back with some paint bucketing.

Did someone mention you can get Roboenza by using "Give All" command and then scrolling between the infinite weapons? That is usefull to see if your skin adapts to Roboenza

K, I'm screwed.

I'll do a guy with no black.

But haven't people complained of skins with no black looking weird / being hard to identify when infected with Roboenza?  Like, it actually changes the black too, it's the only thing in the game that does that, but seeing as how popular Roboenza is...

...You know, Roboenza-ites have a green, yellow and red palette, right? You can tell by the other colors.

I mean, it changes the cyan, blue, and black of the default color palette, right?  So a skin with no black would be weird for roboenza--I remember reading people complain about that for skins with no border or something before.

Anyway, I have a question relevant to the thread.  Is there an easy way to check all your states in-game and make sure they're all working right?  As far as I can tell the closest thing you have to seeing your own skin is chase cam (3rd person) which is just good for checking the back states, and Roll's mirror that's just good for checking the front, and maybe diagonal front states.  Is there an easy way to check your side and back/diagonals, also how would you go about checking your damage states?

[Lio]

I've explained this before. Mirrors in this game defy logic.

That's how I do it anyways, I dunno if there's any other way.

[Relias]

it's funny, because i actually just happened upon getting that to work myself
but thanks anyway, lio :3

[MagnetMan497]

Do they HAVE to be transparent? It just screws me up.

[Relias]

First you will need to create your sprite sheet. Click here for examples.

By the way, that "examples" link leads me to a page that says I do not have permission to view this forum.

Also, another question; So in Roll's mirror you can test all your standing and shooting states easily, and walking with a little patience, but what about damage?  I guess it's easy enough to use chasecam to easily view your back damage state but what about front?

It's in the development forum, in which people without the mega man badge can not visit.

Which is also home to the thread that is a conspiracy against my postcoun-*shot*
