A sprite editor ....
Greetings all...
I've backed myself into a corner, sort of.
I NEED a sprite editor where I can edit ALL 8 sprites ON SCREEN, NOT 1 at a time.
Does such a program exist?
I'm NOT looking to use Chaos Logo Maker . |

Maybe you are looking for something like this:
7up Sprite Editor V2.0
But on the other hand ... i prefer Pixcen V0.6.1.11 for fast prototyping. |

If You want to use a naitive program, use Your favoirite koala program (zoomatic ftw!) and convert once done With a code snippet. If you're too lazy to code it i'm sure there are some converters around (never used one though) or bribe a coder to do one.
For other platform I suggest P1 and convert from there via kickass. there are examples on how-to in kick-ass manual.
Or cuddleytalk With a coder to make You one. |

As per above, then convert using Graham's excellent:
GFX Transformer 1.0 |

Shine - I've tried Pixcen and didn't really care for it. I'm sure it's a great program, but I still prefer using my old programs, like Advanced art studio or even ECA packer.. I know, right? hahaha
The 7up editor looks like what I need.
I've tried numerous programs that "convert" images to sprites, but that is not what I am looking for here. I simply need to create a half circle and map the bytes around the circumference of the final result, whew.
I will be drawing from a circle I drew. I've already mapped out the sprite positions, I think. Being able to draw the circle in one sitting will save countless hours.
Asking for help is 1 step before coding it myself, which I honestly don't have time for. I've only coded one utility in my time, and that will never be released (It's a characterset editor). I couldn't find an editor that allowed proportional pixeling, so I made one.
Thank you all for the help. I think SHINE found the program I need
:D :) |

The editor Shine mentioned works well, but does not allow me to position the sprite layout. I'll check more into the program in the morning, and continue looking...
Thanks :D |

heigh ho converter lets you place sprites freely and convert bitmap to spr. altho you'll need atelast 30 minutes to get comfy in it.
you might also try graphics basic, lets you also position sprites and copy bitmap to sprite, you can even draw the circle with 1 command, and able to save sprites. the extra mile here is finding out where it does store or how does it save sprites. |

I'm thinking this is a pain in the ass.
My sprites need to be like this:
---45
--3--6
-2----7
1------8
I think I'm simply going to have to draw them one by one, which will be a pain. The reason I need these sprites to be so specific is I'll be plotting data to them. I need to draw the half circle I already have drawn in my picture so I can use it to complete the plotting. I don't want to plot outside the circle.
I think it's wild that there isn't an editor that allows one to position and edit all 8 sprites. I COULD use the sprite editor in Gamemaker, which would allow me to position and edit 4 at one time. I'm thinking that is an option.
I'm also thinking of making the damn editor myself, but not sure if I'll ever need it after this, haha.. :D
Won't happen right away, too many projects, not enough time. Never enough time.
I do recall there being an editor, but cannot think of the program. I know I used a sprite editor to make several logos used in past demos.. If only I could recall that program. I'll have to examine some of my old 1581 disk images... I think the program will be there.
I really want to thank you all for the help. It really is appreciated. |

Graphic Editor
this will let you do it, BUT its a pain in the ass to position sprites no coords displayed iirc, AND it doesnt have an area big enough to display all sprites in that form at once. |

For cross development, C64 Studio allows you to do this, simply switch to the preview pane in the sprite editor. |
