Sprite Order - xcom agents

[luke83]

Anyone know exactly what sprite are use for what weapons & on what rotation each one is?

Anyone know of a link to this information ?

[moriarty]

okay, I figured out some of the usage... I'm pretty sure about most of them, but not so sure about the arms, especially the "something-in-hand" variants. okay, here goes:

this is for the xcom_1 part (personal armor), but I'm sure the rest will be almost identical... I guess the flying armor will have a second set of legs for "flying". I'll look into that later.

the "facing xyz" is derived from the first 5 sets of 8. the easiest way to look at the file is to make sure there are 8 pictures in a row. "facing 000" means "away from the screen to the right", from there it's clockwise, so "facing 003" means "looking at the screen" (towards the user, that is)

xcom_1000 - xcom_1007 left arm (nothing carried)
xcom_1008 - xcom_1015 right arm (nothing carried)
xcom_1016 - xcom_1023 legs (standing)
xcom_1024 - xcom_1031 legs (kneeling)
xcom_1032 - xcom_1039 torso+head male soldier
xcom_1040 - xcom_1047 left arm (walking animation facing 000)
xcom_1048 - xcom_1055 right arm (walking animation facing 000)
xcom_1056 - xcom_1063 legs (walking animation facing 000)
xcom_1064 - xcom_1071 left arm (walking animation facing 001)
xcom_1072 - xcom_1079 right arm (walking animation facing 001)
xcom_1080 - xcom_1087 legs (walking animation facing 001)
xcom_1088 - xcom_1095 left arm (walking animation facing 002)
xcom_1096 - xcom_1103 right arm (walking animation facing 002)
xcom_1104 - xcom_1111 legs (walking animation facing 002)
xcom_1112 - xcom_1119 left arm (walking animation facing 003)
xcom_1120 - xcom_1127 right arm (walking animation facing 003)
xcom_1128 - xcom_1135 legs (walking animation facing 003)
xcom_1136 - xcom_1143 left arm (walking animation facing 004)
xcom_1144 - xcom_1151 right arm (walking animation facing 004)
xcom_1152 - xcom_1159 legs (walking animation facing 004)
xcom_1160 - xcom_1167 left arm (walking animation facing 005)
xcom_1168 - xcom_1175 right arm (walking animation facing 005)
xcom_1176 - xcom_1183 legs (walking animation facing 005)
xcom_1184 - xcom_1191 left arm (walking animation facing 006)
xcom_1192 - xcom_1199 right arm (walking animation facing 006)
xcom_1200 - xcom_1207 legs (walking animation facing 006)
xcom_1208 - xcom_1215 left arm (walking animation facing 007)
xcom_1216 - xcom_1223 right arm (walking animation facing 007)
xcom_1224 - xcom_1231 legs (walking animation facing 007)
xcom_1232 - xcom_1239 right arm (one-handed weapon)
xcom_1240 - xcom_1247 left arm (holding two-handed weapon)
xcom_1248 - xcom_1255 right arm (holding two-handed weapon)
xcom_1256 - xcom_1263 right arm (holding item??)
xcom_1264 - xcom_1266 death animation
xcom_1267 - xcom_1274 torso+head female soldier


EDIT: updates in blue. I'm 99% sure about the "holding two handed weapon" part. hand positions match the "handob" rifles. when shooting the rifle, a different rifle sprite is used (probably two rotation-steps clockwise, that is 90° rotated), but with an offset, and I don't know how far x/y that offset is. anyone have an idea? died anybody ever look at the code? if not, someone will have to compare a screenshot to a generated composite and count the pixels by hand.

[moriarty]

if I am right, then you can safely disregard everything between 1040 and 1231 for designing new hand-held objects, because that's just the walking animations - arms that carry stuff are not animated, and legs don't carry weapons.

oh, btw, of course the "handob" sprites use the same order: 8 files for different rotations, starting with "away to the right" and then clockwise.

I'll see if I can whip up a layered GIMP graphics file (.xcf format) for the soldier sprite that will aid us in making new "handob" stuff

[moriarty]

I made the eight different facings into separate layered xcf files. they are in the attached zip files. again, this is only the "xcom_1", that's the personal armor.

- layeres have the names of the corresponding sprites
- layers are arranged in an order that makes sense and appears to resemble the drawing order in-game
- each file contains the male and female torso/head sprite, two left arms, four right arms, legs in standing position as well as the corresponding "rifle" and "pistol" sprites (total of 12 layers)

here's the full rotations for a male soldier with a pistol, as an example:

here's the total sprite list for xcom soldiers

Thank you Daiky for clearing the "right arm (firing weapon)" part up.
