Mmm.. honestly I may say that I doubt it.. I mean, I find it hard to believe that for every dialogue every game just ...

Re: Console problems: Font is too big

the hardware uses tiles of 8*8 pixels, so its not easely possible to put text at a position thats not a multiple of 8. to do this means that you can't let the hardware do it and that you have to draw the text on it yourself, which will be both slower and bigger.

you can also shift the entire ...

Console problems: Font is too big

I have a problem with using the console.. the problem is the font is too big.. I mean, I know 8x8 isn't THAT big, but I can only put it at certain tile coordinates (meaning no half tiles.. so If I want the text to start at pixel coords of 1,3 I can't because those aren't multiple of 8 so they aren't ...

Re: How to load a sprite table

I'm sure if I'll be able to answer this correctly, but I can try. If you're starting with a vertical framestrip of a sprite, lets say 16 x 16 in one frame and 10 frames long, what you'll have once grit (or whatever conversion program you use) converts the image is an array that in which each 256 ...

How to load a sprite table

Hello everyone.. I was wondering if there is a way to load a whole sprite table and then separate sprites inside the game itself... what I mean is (I don't know if it's really called sprite table >.<) load an image with all the frames of different sprites (like different ways a character can walk ...
