I used to work on sprites over a year ago, however, I haven't exactly touched them since then.
As much as it hurts my pride to admit it, I simply cannot avoid breaking the frames in the sprites I'm making. I've tried several different ones with the same results.
^ Originally, I followed that guide when I learned how to create and modify sprites around two years ago. The only thing that has changed is that I've upgraded from Photoshop CS3 to Photoshop CS5. Thing is, I'm not sure if that's the problem.
I've followed all of the instructions listed in the text and screenshots, even matching my own settings to theirs. I've been and loading the color palettes, to using ACTs (I'm still unsure of how to create one manually, but I can modify them), converting from RGB to Indexed colors, saving as an 8-bit Bitmap file, and converting using SPR Conview. Regardless of what I do, for some reason, some (or all) of the frames keep breaking.
I'm literally at a loss here, because I cannot figure out what the issue is, neither from memory, nor from that guide. However, I do know that when I first started out, I had this issue, even with the guide. I just can't remember how I corrected it, but I'm assuming that it was something to do with a setting in Photoshop somewhere.
