ROtion - Character Simulator. Like RMS's, but better.

Personnaly, I just get the hairstyles from other GRFs and downloaded things that I've found a long time ago.

[Kittie]

share those with me

So i can extract sprites with this program and i can paint them with heRO's palettes and use whatever equipment I can find in heRO's data, very cool. My only problem is, finding stuff in the heRO data like the hairstyles.

The animation part works really nice, easy to use plus it looks so clean.

yeah the hairstyles are suckish to find... i haven;t found them thought the inbuild GRF tool yet... but another problem is i can't seem to be able to open the custom hairstyles (exept for a few onces like the alice on for example) anymore in the other tool i have... i used to be able to do so but it seems like i can open way little then i could before @_@ anyone know how come? I use GRF factory to open my sprites with.. (and i could few less hairstyles already before i installed ROtion)

Edit 1: for now i only use ROtion to preview palettes and get save texture stuff for the backgrounds etc for icons/siggies etc.

Edit 2: how do you expand your working space? aka making it bigger?

[BigBruce]

I love it, great find

Edit: To expand your space, Tools -> Scene Animation Window -> Rect Proportions





Can also be edited like a normal .gif

[Kittie]

thank you

I got some great idea's for icons/siggies and more :D
(though i'm used making those in Photoshop so i might just use ROtion for palettes etc. unless i find the animation in ROtion more easy then in Photoshop xD)

pssstttt go add a background :D it looks cool!

[Mara]

I find animations in ROtion prettier than in Photoshop, plus they already have a more natural game speed, unlike Pshop which i could never get the right speed for it not to look awkwardly fast or slow.

oke i found a way to get the custom hairstyles into ROtion BUT once i save the file and try to reopen it, it says "Cannot open file"

One step ahead, two back

[Fyrus Carmin]

I usually just packs everything on one rsz and it works, even if I erase the spr after.

[Kittie]

hmmm then i don't know what i'm doing wrong


I add an Sprite through the 'actor inspector' > 'add sprite' > and then add one of the hero files i extracted through the GRF factory i use D:
