Title: Combining lots of small pixel images into one spritesheet.
Post by: MKSheppard on January 17, 2016, 07:12:48 pm

I found a SD card that I had thought lost forever; and on it was a lot of old OpenXCOM mod stuff I was doing -- converting really old (as in Original XCOM) mods to OXCOM from PCK format; and they're in a lot of little files, e.g.

sectoid000.bmp
to
sectoid267.bmp

for an old XCOM WW2 mod that replaced the sectoid with a German soldier.

Is there a python script to crunch all these into a OXCOM compliant spritesheet?

Thanks in advance.

So hmmm, 16 Columns is what's used for unit sprites; and I think 8 columns for HANDOBs....

[mostly ignore this, making a personal note to myself]

Not really, you can set 8 columns fort units if you want. It doesn't matter, you only need to reflect the file's dimensions in the ruleset.

the attached link returns as server error. is this utility still available? any other recommended methods?
assembling handObs in MTpaint is straight forward enough, but this is a much larger bite to chew.

This one works:

Just pack your images in a .zip and upload.
