You can't actually "make" sprites, you can only make an image and import it into the game. I am using MS Paint right now. Its not very good though, it doesn't offer any effects. You can downlaod irfranview though. It is a photo editing program, which is good because it can change the color scheme of a picture, and it can change its brightness, contrast, and comes with other effects like embossing, oil painting, etc. It is completely free but I cant remember the site. Try searching for it on google. It is Irfranview *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

04 March 2005 00:54 (UK time) I find Irfranview only useful for converting my *.bmp or whatever into *.pcx files. Heres what I use: its a very neat freeware paint program called "The Gimp", they say its like a freeware version of Photoshop. I dont know the site, so google it, but it took me FOREVER to figure out how to get it to install correctly and load correctly. But with it, ive made the coolest sprite for a not-so-near future mod. It has multiple layer support (cant figure out the purpose of the layers yet though), shadow/burn mark details, spark(or explosion) effects, ect. The current version has an integrated "ScriptFu" which can add some cool effects to your drawings . You will NEED to read the FAQ in order to make sense of your problems of getting the thing started correctly though. It also has no help files yet, but there will be in the future, it doesnt matter though, you just put your mouse over somthing to figure out what it does. BTW, "The Gimp" does not have simple paint options such as "draw circle" or "draw eliplse". Before you use the Gimp to make sprites, you need to sortof create an "outline" of your sprite with the magic pink BG in paint, then save and load the image in Gimp to add the fine details.
