Question About Sprites

Obst

<div class="IPBDescription">Do they need to match in length?</div> Do sprites (in certain the muzzleflashX.spr sprites) need to be the same length or not? Cause I'm experiencing problems with a sprite showing up and am bughunting at the moment <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

When sprites simply don't show up it's often because of the dimensions not being divisible by 8, have you checked them?

No, the sprites don't have to have the same number of frames to work.

However, if there are too few frames (e.g. eight frames when the original has 12), then the animation will 'replay'. If there are too many frames (e.g. 12 frames when the original has eight), then the animation will end abruptly.
The above cases are most noticable in sprites that are shown in sequence (like explosions and smoke effects, but <b>not</b> muzzleflash)

I suspect that the reason you sprite is not working, is because muzzleflash3.spr is not used <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
muzzleflash1 is for Marine weaponry
muzzleflash2 is for Turrets and Siege Cannons
muzzleflash3 is for nothing

Thank you, perfect information I needed <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Adjusted the sprite to be exactly the same, should work now.
