Formatting GIFs

    I downloaded the Ultimate BW Pack on this site, and I'm having what seems to be common problems with the GIF sprites (ex. misaligned positions). I tried to reposition them in Editor, but it crashes. Searching the forums, I found the problem is that Essentials doesn't naturally support GIFs, so by trying to use them the same way static sprites, it overloads and crashes. However, despite learning this, no one has given a step-by-step guide to format GIFs into Essentials. Can I change the script? If so, how? (Be specific. Like tell me exactly where in the script I'd have to change it.)

    Anyone? There has to be a way to fix the positions without crashing the editor at least.

    Practically everyone is having problems with .gif's. I really can't help you because I am suffering this problem myself.

  • It's not just one script you can plug in and play. There is a whole combination of segments you need to alter. On top of that, add the fact that the battle system is very tedious to edit. That's why you don't see any tutorials on it. A lot of code has to be re-written/added.

    It took me a while to get it working bug-free, and I was working with Essentials v7. The changes to the battle system made in the mean time, only make your endeavour harder. Good luck doing it, I hated the process.

    I had a feeling that was the case, but it's alright. It'd be nice to have some guidance. Thanks for the support.

    That's a great idea. Where did you get the png sprites from?

    ok see the attachment (this bracket is to increase the length)
    The dimensions are completely different. (It looks like you're using a different pack since there's gen 6 in there.) There's no telling how I'm supposed to edit them. I'm sorry, but that's not going to help. Thanks anyway.

    Ok if it is not working you can covert your gif to pngs.
    1.Download a program called Multiple image resizer.net you can get it by searching from google.
    2.make a folder in destop and inside it paste your all gifs
    3.now open Multiple image resizer.netand click on Add individual images.
    4.Now select all gif which you paste in that folder and press open
    5.Now select resizing option and choose percentage and fill 100 at the box and then select go and click go button
    6.when this process done then go to c drive from my computer and go to mir folder there you will find static pngs

    These png will be having same dimensions and then follow the step that i tell you in above post.
    Now this should work maybe
