Hello people ! 

 

I would like to ask what tools are you using to sprite, mostly assembling them.

I've used ROtion for the past few years, but due to an error, my old comp died, and it seems like it doesn't work anymore
I've tried using Act Editor as well, but I didn't find it as useful as ROtion was to me.

So, is there any tool around that works like ROtion, or better, if someone managed to install ROtion on a Windows 8 machine ?
 

Thank you in advance for your answers !

ROtion is a 16-bit software and their support has been completely dropped by x64 OSes (you most likely have Windows 8 x64 and you had an x86 OS before). That said, you'll need a virtual machine with a x86 OS if you want to run it (with VMWare or XP Mode if you have the professional version of Windows 8).

 

As for other tools similar to ROtion... I don't know any and I doubt you'll find such a specific tool. (Act Editor isn't meant to create images, so that probably didn't help you much.) Edit : People use Photoshop for these kind of tasks.

You're right, I have a 64 bit OS, but you taught me why it didn't work xD.

 

Problem is, I don't have Photoshop, I only use Gimp (and WeeGimpSprite didn't seem to work either). I will try to look into VMware though, since I run a familial Win8

Thank you for your answer ! Really appreciate it ^^
