All these tutorials on how to rip other people's sprites and customize them to your liking framedata wise... however there is no tutorials on how to make "sprite documents" or the rules of making a sprite. The least one of you youtubers could do is answer some of the questions people ask on your videos.
Sprite sheets are usually bitmap (.BMP) format and the only real rule of making sprite sheets (for MUGEN, anyway) is that the background color cannot be white and it cannot be any color that is on your character. This is so the background color of the sprites can be selected to mute out in Fighter Factory. Additionally, all characters should have ALL of the following animations as a bare minimum when making your sprites for the character to look its best when being used in MUGEN: -Idle (Fighting Stance) -Crouching (going into, crouching, and standing up) -Charging (if applicable, to charge super meter) -Movement (forward, backward, dash [if applicable], and run [if applicable]) -Jumping (going into jump, neutral, forward, and backward) and landing -Getting hit (standing, crouching, and in air) -Falling (when knocked down) and landing -Lying down (after knockdown) and getting up -Blocking (standing, crouching, and air [if applicable]) -Basic attacks (usually at least four; 2 punches and 2 kicks) -Special moves (most characters have at least two special moves) -Super moves (if applicable, these are the moves that use the super meter at the bottom of the screen) Anything else is extra based on whatever extra features you want your game to have. The number of frames per animation can be as low as 1 and however high you want depending on how fluid and detailed you want the animation to be. And that's basically it. The reason there aren't really any tutorials is because sprite sheets are pretty simple (though to people who are unfamiliar in sprite creation, it is an understandable frustration you have). Its just knowing the specific animations you need for MUGEN is really all there is. But you can draw up an entire sprite sheet in MS paint if you wanted to.
Thank you all for the replies. I learned more from here than I did after months h of surfing around. I didn't get notifications for this until recent. I appreciate this info all the same!
Thanks for making these videos. I always was interested in making mugen characters, but I never really had the pactience for it. Now that i've seen this video I'm gonna try to make a character. :)
i guess, don't make a sprite, that is larger than x 100, y 100, and no smaller than x 10, y 10. i recommend like... x 48, y 68 (X = vertical. Y = horisontal)
Use Game Maker, you can make games(not for other games) and you can use the sprite editor because it is nicer then photoshop because the ratio will not get messed up
cool! i'm going to turn The Angry Box into a fighting character. Moveset: Axe combo. Throwing knives. Kick Head throw air attack: Box Ballet crouch attack: Shovel grab attack: headbutt
Over and over, people will rip off other sprites, and just alter them a bit, but that's not the same as making your own character from scratch. It would be nice if someone teaches how to make your own sprite sheet from scratch.
Bro i’ve heard this background soundtrack before from parasyte and im dying to know what the name of the song is, plzzz brooo...! Nvm i found it, the song name is I Am from Parasyte
Great video. What should we do if we save an already animated sprite? Plus I wanted to give Ryo his full screen and aerial fireballs back. What's the best way to do that?
So, I'm diving into character creation for the first time, and I've got this intro part for my sprites. Quick question: should I save it as Stand1 or go for something like Intro1? Also, big thanks for your awesome content - it's been a game-changer for me!
will this work for creating a mortal kombat or no or will it be different like make your own fatality and the other stuff i cant find a chars of how to make your mortal kombat chars??
Sorry for Necro-ing (Replying after a post was long dead), butI don't think M.U.G.E.N runs on Mobile. Sorry! Try either Stencyl or GameMaker Studio. There's loads of tutorials out there by other people. They are both free!
The way I'm doing it is pretty different, basically im using GIMP and for every individual sprite I cut them out like you did, but they are all saved as GIMP image files which is like .xcf or something... will I have to do everything again in paint to make it a 256 color image or can I still make this work?
+AceDBZMugen I followed the vid to a T but when I added the sprites as a pcx file I noticed the images weren't there, so after looking around I realized they were so small they couldn't be seen. So now when I copy and paste sprites I have to manually size them before saving.
That is really weird. Do your sprites look small when you open them up in paint? Or do they only look super small when you import them into fighter factory?
+AceDBZMugen They were really small when I moved them to FF. I decided to go into the .cns file and manually change the size. It worked like a charm and I can see my character now in FF. Actually just finished part 5, I'm building my guy along with the videos. Thanks again.
Hi AceDBZMugen, I'm new to this and have been following the videos, and when I click run in winmugen I get this : list index out of bounds (-1). I would very much appreciate it if you can help me. Thank you.
MrPooppoo GT I'm in the process of making Krillin, Cell, and 3 others for my own dragon ball pack, and once I'm finished I can send it to you if you want
Hey guys noobie here. I was wondering if you can make a non pixel sprite for a mugen character. Im sorry if this comes off as a silly question. Just asking in advance as Im new. Thank you~
@@nimiala8595 Oh I meant as a non pixel art. Sorry if my comment was confusing. But if a sprite does need to be in pixel art I guess I'll just have to learn it

Bubbles Powerpuffgirl I've run into a problem that I don't know how to fix so I'm not able to make a character.
Mrhoiable

Oohhh boi heres my beginning on making my own character which will take most of my life to make it but thanks for the tutorial
What are character are tou making sir
So how did it go?
I'm interested in your character if you're still making it. Is it going smoothly?
bro quit midway
I guess I'll be taking the hard way since I'll be making a character no one else has made or made sprite sheets of.
you done making character that no one else had made or did not
what if I wanna make my own sprites
i guess, don't make a sprite, that is larger than x 100, y 100, and no smaller than x 10, y 10.
i recommend like... x 48, y 68
(X = vertical. Y = horisontal)
But the XIII sprites are greater than 100
Use photoshop
I dont get it
Use Game Maker, you can make games(not for other games) and you can use the sprite editor because it is nicer then photoshop because the ratio will not get messed up
you are doing this manually...?
and I was here looking for the name of the program that auto crops sprites-sheets...
cool! i'm going to turn The Angry Box into a fighting character.
Moveset:
Axe combo.
Throwing knives.
Kick
Head throw
air attack: Box Ballet

Hey dude do you want to make your own stage

WARNING!!!!!!!!!
At paint, minimize the white blank sheet!!!!!! I did do this and it got me frustrated for hours!! Just warning you!
how small?
Just put it as small as possible
and it will make it the size as the size of it.
One question: is it mandatory to save each individual sprite in BMP format?
Gonna make a few different characters for practice using premade sprites, then i'm making my own sprite so i can make Slim Shady a character.
Did you do it?
Over and over, people will rip off other sprites, and just alter them a bit, but that's not the same as making your own character from scratch. It would be nice if someone teaches how to make your own sprite sheet from scratch.
I just have a quick question, does it matter what you name the images?
It doesn't
i love the tutorial i tought it it was gonna be simple but it is hard for me
i have problem:when im copying it in paint,it always change darker colour,..any help pls?
thnx for tutorial man i was going to create one

I want to edit sprites of mortal kombat with photoshop but I can not match the palettes, what do you recommend doing?
i have a question what if i want to make my oc into a character would i have to make a sprite sheet for him?
You can make a scratch or make it based from some other character.
Wouldn't The Spriters Resource also be a good place to get sprites from
Yes it does. He probably just does not know of it. I am making a Blade knight character from Kirby SSU using the Sprite sheet they uploaded

What? What do you mean?
how to make my own sprite? i mean like i wanna add all the powers of other characters on one character
im a bit late to the party but if your character has projectiles, would you copy, paste, and save that too?
is it really hard to make a characters? Im thinking of drawing ( i suck at it but im trying)
I want to make a karla edit and save her to something

Just export into .png files.
when i open my sprite in paint and i zoom in it is just like 3 pixels
Could I use the stand alone sprites from mkwarehouse?
Hey love the videos! I'm having trouble with sizing when I pull the sprite from the sheet to save it by itself. Any tips?
+Miketage Thanks! What do you mean exactly by sizing? I usually just copy and paste the sprites into a new document.

when i download off of infinity, they come in pngs!
You said we needed M.U.G.E.N 1.0
It would still work if i have 1.1 version?
MUGEN 1.0 is backwards-compatible, but it's still better to stick with 1.0 for your own sake as that is what the tutorial goes by.
