Weapon in 192

Hello, I'm having fun developing a game in monogame using the images generated by the Universal LPC Spritesheet Generator.

I use the generator sheet by sheet for the player character.
So I create a spritesheet of a body then with monogame I put armor and a weapon on it, which allows me to change armor or weapon at will in my game.

My problem is that with 192 weapons like the long sword
I don't know which body to superimpose them on, with 128 weapons I superimpose them on the slash animation like the simple sword.

to have the bodies of the 192 on the generator you have to activate a 192 weapon and therefore it is also displayed on the body while I want the images separate.

I have not found an option to display the images of the 192 animation without displaying the weapons.

is this possible?

The body would be the same for 192 as it is for 128. The difference is that you'd have to adjust the position more for 192 animations.

I haven't yet worked with these animations in a game project, so I wouldn't know the exact offsets. However, all the "oversized" animations still work on the same bodies. The body sizes don't change, its just that the weapon animations may have larger or smaller sizes.

LPC is an open source style of asset. While there is a "loose" standard, there's often many different standards being used by different artists. The artists who designed the long sword wanted a much longer sword swing, so whoever added the sword animation to this editor had to adjust the animations to compensate.

Anyway, like I said... you basically just need to alter the offset of the sword when its a 192 frame compared to the 128 frame. I don't know what those offsets are myself.

No the gaps of the 192 weapons are much too big compared to the slash animation, for the 128 I think it is only luck and that they are not made to be displayed on the slash animation,

When you select a 192 weapon like the long sword it appears 3 more animations,

slash_oversize, slash_reversse_oversize and thrust_overside these are the animations that I need but without the weapon being displayed.

The problem is that it only displays the orque when you select the long sword,

When you select arming sword it also displays 3 additional animations "slash_128", "backslash_128" and "halfslash", the same as for the 192 these are the animes on which I would have to superimpose the eppee_128 but they only appear when you select arming sword and of course display the sword, I would only like to display the body or armor or clothing etc,, to superimpose them all in my program.

I get what you're saying, but I think you're missing the point. The point is that the individual frames need to be drawn over the sprite one layer at a time with an offset.

I think you're saying you want an expanded version of the base body model. The problem is if you want to keep doing this on a layer-by-layer basis, you're going to have to keep creating more and more variations of different assets that expand the layer out in order to make this work.

The only thing this editor does is it adds whitespace around each individual frame of the body to fit the expanded slashing animations. The same effect can be done by drawing each frame of the animation over the layer with an offset. I get that it means you need a custom configuration for these animations, but its probably going to be far easier to do this than to create dozens and dozens of variant slash animations for the many body and clothing variations.

I think I understand. One thing you can do is "Export to JSON" and paste the results from the clipboard. It will show links to each of the layers used.

[jrconway3]

If what you're saying here is that "export to JSON" will show the expanded body model, it won't. There is no expanded body model. The oversized animations simply add whitespace around each frame of the existing one in order to fit the custom animations.

Can we download the sources of the spriteSheets ?

[jrconway3]

https://github.com/LiberatedPixelCup/Universal-LPC-Spritesheet-Character-Generator/tree/master/spritesheets

They're all in here.

Soon, though, we'll be dropping an update to split up the full sheets by each animation, we're just reviewing to confirm that we're not missing anything before merging that update.

[JulienOrion666]

I can only upload one image at a time otherwise it tells me "File uploads require push access to this repository."

[jrconway3]

What are trying to do?

[JulienOrion666]

upload files to spritesheets folder

[jrconway3]

So questions:

1. Why are you trying to write files to the spritesheets folder?
2. If you want to add spritesheets, you should create a fork of the repository and upload them to your personal fork. Then open a PR to this repository.
3. However, until we finish the PR Slice images def run #71 we won't be merging any new assets.

[JulienOrion666]

I confused upload and download, I want to download

[jrconway3]

Okay, thanks for the confirmation.

You can download the entire repository here:

Follow these steps:

1. Open the Main Page (https://github.com/LiberatedPixelCup/Universal-LPC-Spritesheet-Character-Generator)
2. Click on "Code" (the big green button)
3. Click the "Download Zip" (the button at the bottom of the popup)

This is the most effective way to download everything. You can also clone the repository if you wish, but you'd have to know how to use git.

[JulienOrion666]

Thanks I should be able to manage with this by doing layers upon layers.

Hello,

Sorry it's me who made a mistake in my code I put 196 instead of 192 which gave offsets,
the long weapons are well synchronized with slash or thrust depending on the weapon.

[jrconway3]

Yeah, I didn't realize there were oversized "thrust" weapons as well. I only just found that out.

[JulienOrion666]

yeah there are great sticks for magicians
