Redundant

Applies to:

Dream Maker

Status:

Redundant

This feature has already been implemented, or is already achievable with existing methods.

I think that a lot of people could benefit from more ways to import and export DMI's, such as being able to import a sprite sheet as a DMI file or icon state. Another feature that I think would be helpful would be the ability to export a DMI or icon state as a sprite sheet.

Falacy	http://www.byond.com/developer/Falacy/RPG2DMI will work on most RPG Maker CharSets You can already "export" DMIs to sprite sheets, just open them in MS Paint.

Bighead278	Hey thanks for the tip on the RPG2DMI. JC tho, can you make it so that it's possible to import different sheet sizes, like if the animation is 4 tiles long instead of 3. Also I'm aware that you can open a DMI in paint, but it would be nice if you could export icon states as a sprite sheet.

Ter13	Ter13 resolved issue (Redundant) Without added information, DM can't know the metadata for a sprite sheet to import from. However, the redundant part of this request, is that dmi files can be opened in MSpaint or a similar image editing suite, and viewed as a sprite sheet.
