Hi guys im wanting to make a game using backbone and think cammys tutorial is great, my question is this i have downloaded a load of sprite sheets in .PNG format and i would like to know how i will add these to backbone, do i just change them from .PNG to Bitmap to add them to back bone?
All help appreciated.
On PC side:
1. Make sure your sprites are in 16 colors, you can color reduce if is more.
2. Go to MS Paint and create canvas size 320x256
3. copy your sprites to it, no spaces between sprites.
4. save it in PNG
On Amiga side:
1. Open PPaint
2. Open your sprite file, open it with screen size 320x256 16 colors.
3. It's possible that the Background color is wrong and you need to swap it.
4. In PPaint, select with left mouse button color 0 and with right mouse button select that background color , then go to colors menu and and select SWAP BKG to Foreground.
5. Adjust your Swapped colors in the Edit colors, I set the first color to 0,0,0 and the other to what ever it was. I write down the settings before I change it to Black 0,0,0.
I hope it helps.
