i wanted to do some sprites but have no idea how to do it from a technical standpoint... what fileformat is required? what measurments (measured in pixelsperinch) do i need? i really need to find those out. annyone here who already did some spriting? i was trying to sprite grenades for a mod that adds throwable grenades that can be craftet at the replicator (since apparently chucklefish doesn't want us to have throwable wepons that are better than a damn throwable bone)
.png in any scale of multiple 8? I don't understand what you're trying to ask. I'd recommend around 16x16 pixels and something like this, though you may want to find a size that works best for your mod. You don't need to fill in the whole 16x16 but it's recommended you keep the image size to that. Something on this scale might look small but it's the size of a bomb from the base game. You can just do another image file without the pin if you're planning on changing sprites.
thanks! i just made some sprites that i can scale down if needed. the mod actually includes more than just grenades. it is called "Protectors Arsenal". it is a lorefriendly weaponspack. pics: http://sta.sh/21153ttleox1?edit=1 (i claim all rights to these sprites since i made them)
