<-----a way to make grp's from spritesheets--->
make it 256 color.!!

find the black we got to save it for shadows,if they have it and replace the black in the sprite.

it gets changed to 20,20,20 in the .pal, usually the first or 2nd black.

now save it as a .png cause psp .bmp will fug stuff up!! we are heading to gamemaker*to make our sprites in order to be ripped!


*****************COULDNT LEAVE PSP  even though a hassel my sprite to use has to has its tools......*******

2. here i transformed  and enlarged canvas 300% need some room!
************************************************************************************************

u can use whatever paint program to get your sprites in order and size and color, gamemaker can but its not fast in that part*

its good to have a peon sprite open to see the size difference*

i always assign my hotkey as somethign that wont be used !!!! "~-="

press that button when it looks like mine...u got around 1 minute till it complets.
more like 30 secs


ok now we need a grunt compatable  .ral  use retro to dump the units somewhere and copy the .ral!


  and theres our little munchkin small and not team colored!!! next episode "Working with Our Master Spritesheet"

my winmpq is miss a required file lolol figures....get tupacs one he pasted or just redownload winmpq

if u could find the mlp stratagus load up there sprites, that be even more of a easier way been meaning to but me eyes
