GameMaker Quick Tip: Importing Sprite Sheets

[@jimmykeffer7401]

These short videos are the best ones you ever make in my opinion, the longer high quality videos are SOO helpful but it's the little things that end up helping me out in a pinch

[@galaxykidmusic]

Thank you so much for your hard work and your in depth tutorials Shaun! Thanks to you I'm well on my way to making my own platformer and I've even learned a few tricks on my own! I subscribed and became a parton a while ago, You've more than earned a cut of my paycheck! Thank you!

[@lizardrain]

This is super useful to me, thanks. I've been a little afraid of moving to GM2.0 because they changed how copy-paste from alternative image editors works (no longer quickly adds a frame, instead creates a brush). Importing is now the only way to go.

[@sotiris2273]

THANK YOU SO MUCH this was stupidly more confusing that it should of been

[@AkaAkoVT]

This was super helpful! It's been a real bother trying to import sprites frame by frame.

[@indoorgamer3533]

Thanks you for this, i started learning game maker studio last week. keep it up

[@albertodiegochisilevich7167]

you are the greatest tutorialer on youtube! in fact....you are the king! thanks!

[@carlosmiras5592]

Shaun you're an absolute master

[@peterjanosky6276]

Is there any way to do this with a grid of sprite where they're not all in one line?

[@Fazendojogo]

No....

[@cesarcontreras7642]

Thank you so much for this video. It really helped me with my project.

[@DragoniteSpam]

I remember discovering this (I think) by accident in GM81 after exporting a sprite and re-importing the same sprite and seeing it automatically split up like that. Cool to see it get more attention like this though!

[@mulatdood]

How do you use sprite sheets that have different sized sprites or uneven spacing?

[@stealthkill1332]

This is my question

[@timmyschannel5]

@@stealthkill1332 there are sprite sheet slicer tools you can find that will do this for you

[@MordGuffman-ih9cq]

Thanks, this helped so so much!!!

[@Rollyourown1]

really nice tipp with the strip!!

[@Tinchicus]

Thanks for the help, regards from Argentina!

[@unclesam1545]

where i can find good sprite sheets?

[@davie5104]

I really wish they had a similar function for 2D sheets vs 1D strips, I make a lot of sprites in photoshop and sometimes it's a pain to just save as strips. When loading a sheet it usually asks for total frames, frames per row, and dimensions. Would be cool if a suffix like "_sheet30_5_32_32" or something like that did the same thing, also saving sprites as sheets instead of strips would be a godsend. Say I have some sprite thats like 128x16 and it has like 100 frames (like some kind of water surface texture or something), exporting as a strip would make a file 12800 px wide, which it can handle just fine but god. The preview thumbnail is a pixel tall lmao

[@princessdahlia8808]

thank youu

[@LongestYardstick]

why the crap doesn't my game maker have an image tab on the toolbar??

[@raspberry_picker395]

in game maker 8 there was an example sprite and a tutorial for this, so yeah, i knew about it, but i kinda forgot...this reminded me lmao, thanks

[@chaslinux]

Shaun the audio on this video is a lot lower than past videos, otherwise fantastic video, as usual.

[@hifanci2506]

excuse me >.< i have 20 frames in sprite sPlayer, butwhen i pressed buttun A or D (left or right) animation only show 6 frame first and pass over 14frame next T.T i cant see resolve for that on any forum , lpz help me...

[@gamerz8220]

how to pick random images from image strip and add it together for frame

[@boblincent]

Do you know if there is a way to import sprites without them becoming pixilated? Idk if there even is, because I want to make a non-pixil game in gamemaker but idk if you can do that.

[@tremitygames]

Thank you SO MUCH!

[@surfinbirdzx]

Strange, but this feature doesn't work at 2.2.5:(

[@mrmacedon]

Guys did you know that shaun worked in ubisoft ?

[@amazingsparckman]

le sparckman works works at ubisoft

[@DiamondWolfX]

The "strip" thing has been in since 8.0 - and probably earlier

[@jasonmehl7111]

Diamond Wolf. really? how do you use it then? would have saved me alot of time back then if i knew how...

[@DiamondWolfX]

Hasn't changed from then until now. Just use the sprite_stripXX.png filename format.

[@DiamondWolfX]

I discovered it when my copy of 1.0 came with included copyyright-free (apparently) resources in the stripXX format.

[@321Tdog]

But can you create and export a sprite sheet from GM? I mean what's the easiest way to draw a sprite, and copy to draw the next frame and so on...

[@kiukle]

Did you ever complete the sine wave shader?

[@1groovigyrl]

Really I learn that by myself! I can't believe you didn't know.

[@vahehovhannisyan3416]

Thank you so much you helped me

[@Zullv]

This feature is pretty buggy and the fact that it's not in the manual makes me think it's deprecated. For example, "gun-fire-spritesheet_strip5" will import correctly, however "gun-walk-spritesheet_strip8" imports as one image.

[@programpurpose9782]

Is there other great sprite creating software rather than game maker? I trying to figure out whats the ideal size for creating pixel art and vector graphics for games

[@bojankoolhaas8776]

Piskel is great

[@luciocarvalhoalmeida5726]

Thnks!

[@idlesong]

thank you so much!!!!!

[@defunctchannel942]

What about an actual sheet of sprites, not a strip of sprites for one animation?

[@ryangraff102]

Thanks!

[@nemesis666first]

Anyway do to it buy in a grid :D ?
