Line 52: ===Using sprites not created specifically from scratch=== Please note that neither sprites from RPGMaker nor Charas may be used for copyright reasons. ~~<del>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPGMaker_2000 RPGMaker 2000]-like sprites (like those at http://charas-project.net) are an interesting graphic resource for stendhal.</del>~~ Unfortunately, the frame size for their animated human-sized characters is usually 24 x 32 pixels (72 x 128 pixels for the whole image) which is half the size of what is needed, so some rescaling has to be done. Line 63: scalex -k 2 old.png new.png If the images have a coloured background ~~like those from Charas~~, it needs to be made transparent. Use this [[VisualHowToRemoveBackgrounds\|~~Visual~~ Guide]] or do the following in [http://www.gimp.org/ GIMP]: * Open your png * Convert it to RGB mode with Image -> Mode -> RGB * Add transparency to the image with Layer->Transparency->Add Alpha Channel * Select the coloured background (~~green~~e. ~~from~~g. ~~Charas~~green) by doing Tools->Selection Tools->Fuzzy Select (or pressing Z), and clicking on the green background. Make sure that the 'threshold' is set to 0 which means it will only select exactly that green colour. Also turn off 'Antialiasing' and 'Feather edges'. These settings should be available on the gimp main window. * Remove the green background by pressing Ctrl-k (or Edit->Clear). Gimp should show the transparency as gray checker board pattern. * Repeat the selection and clearing steps for any remaining green areas, if everything was not cleared at once. Line 87: == Outfits == Players can have hair, face, body and dress. These are saved separately so outfits can be mixed and matched. ~~<del>We use http://charas-project.net:</del>~~ * <del>The medium charsets</del> * <del>Selecting just one layer to save.</del> ''The Stendhal project is currently in the process of switching from Charas sprites to [https://opengameart.org/node/24944 Cabbit style] due to licensing issues.''
