sprite out of range fix

[Saisho]

i have some old sprites that i wanted to add but the sprites always give me errors when opening w/ sprite conview so it give me errors after added to the server.

the curious thing is i saw ppl using the same sprites in their servers w/o a problem.

 

what cause the error that prevent even the sprite to be open in sprite conview program and how do i fix it?

how did you get the old sprites. If you extracted them from a grf then maybe the grf was encrypted previously which can cause this issue.

some sprites i got many years ago by the time when there was many websites like Rune around.

If the sprites error when trying to open them up with spr conview, they are most likely to be encrypted.

hmm so if encrypted theres something else can i do beside press del?

[Neo-Mind]

try opening them in actor2 , sprconview also fails if the sprite is made from 32bit tga files. 

If it fails there too then you don't have much choice you would need to get the proper sprite files - maybe put up a request in the graphics request section?

 

You said you got them from RUNE and other similar sites so i doubt you got it from encrypted grf.

idk i just get errors trying to open the files.

 

i remember some japanese websites and spriters like sakage, Herzlich and some others used to link small grf/gpf's. maybe extract it was a bad idea... =/
