I took a look at folder spritesheets_4x2 

The first character seems to be split between the two files srw_arpg_0 and srw_arpg_1, is it correct ?

That's tru but you'll also find more variation futher (srw_argp_44.png for example). Tbh, that's not organised by character, but by weapon (slash attack, then sword, spears, ...) ^^'.

It's a bit confusing and maybe difficult to find all of the variation for a same character. Gimme a sec I'll arrange that into subfolders.

That would be awesome because I manage sprite sheets from code, and I load the necessary file for each character

I have updated SRW_Action_pack_week11_v4.zip.

Should be better now :) each character has it's own subfolder.

I'll fix and update it more next week !

Hello Gif, do you plan to change the way assets are exported ? if I implement those fils in my game, it would be painful to adapt everything later :)

Hello pimox :)

I won't change the export format in the future (maybe more character or monsters will be added, but the structure will remain the same). Is it ok for you ?

I have added another folder with each frame (by character) in case you need it.

I was trying to figure the logic dehind the file names like srw_arpg_0_0 , etc ... and I dont't see the pattern :)

Arg, yeah you're right, it's a bit of a mess right now. (mostly due to how I name splitted files from their original sheets). Each frame file comes from simple sheets (3x4 frames) which come from bigger ones (4x2 sheets) which also comes from a mix between weapons files, shield files and the Character Pack 😅

At the end of the day you get filenames with plenty of indexes in them 😔. Anyway, I can fix those filenames soon and regenerate the pack (probably next wednesday), sorry about that ! I'll keep the same folders structure tho, if it's ok for you.

if you can do this it would be fantastic, otherwise I won’t be able to automate the management of the different characters :)

Thanks for your great support

Hi pimox :)

Here is my proposition :

"4x2" folders contains the concatenate sheets and "1x1" folders contain simple sheets (3 by 4 frames).

  • With "4x2" folders :
    • Monsters concatenated sheets are named "monsters_<index>.png" (since they only have walk animation with colorswap).
    • Characters concatenated sheets are named "character_<index>/srw_arpg_<weapon_name>.png" (they are now correctly splitted by weapon).
  • With "1x1" folders :
    • Monsters sheets are named "monsters_<index>_<index_sheet>.png"
    • Characters sheets are named "character_<index>/srw_arpg_<weapon_name>_<index_sheet>.png"
      • Subfolder "frames/" contains splitted version of 4x2 sheets, but by frame :  "character_<index>/frames/srw_arpg_<weapon_name>_<index_frame>.png"

Current <weapon name> are :

  • slash01 
  • sword01 
  • sword02 
  • sword03
  •  spear01 
  • spear02 
  • staff01
  •  staff02
  •  staff03 
  • staff04 
  • staff05
  •  staff06

(Empty 1x1 sheets/frames correspond to empty spaces in the corresponding 4x2 sheet). Could be used for future shields tho.

Future updates will contain more weapons/shields  and monsters, but will not impact the current filenames (just more files with incremented index). If this naming is good for you, I'll stick with it.

Hope this helps :).
