I added a manual, but if there are any problems you can contact me here or in a pm.
-
Updated, with more colours, a link and a manual ;)
-
Woah nice work monkey! I may start spriting because of this :)
-
I definitely agree with Spartan on this one. It makes me want to sprite on minecraft now. Great work.
-
Can you make a dumby video guide with what you need and how to set it up? I can't get it working :/
-
No sorry, you will have to do it with this. Could you tell me which parts are not clear to you though, I can improve the manual if there are problems.

I don't get how to get the color pallet thing open
-
Uhm, that's explained I believe. The only thing that could possibly go wrong there is that you don't use the right image-editor. Mine is exclusively for Gimp, but Toxicstriker91 has converted the palette for use with photoshop. I don't know if he is planning to release it though.

Monkey i will make a video.

Monkey i will make a video.
Thank you toxic :)
-
Thank you for making this monkey, made a 2 layer (sort of) sprte with this. ;D
-
It took me a while to make the video, but hey it is free so...
Here it is, It has no music because i made it in colidge. Ill try to find a sutable music someday.

Here is a shor manual that i made for the video, but mind that MrMonkeys's manual is more detailed and it will give you more info.Here it is:
1. You have to open a random pic.
2. Then you go to Image>Mode>Indexed.
3. You have to make "Use custom palette" active, then click on the rectangle, then go to the bottom right button witch says "Open the palette section dialog".Once you click it you'll see the palettes window. Right click one of the many palettes that are there and "click Import Palette".Then you need to make "Palette file" active by clicking the circle infront of it.Next you need to find the file "Minecraft.gpl" (it is in monkey's tutorial), by clicking the rectangle with the (none) sign in it. From there go to the folder where you put your file. When you load it click "Import" without making any changes in the current window. If you made everithing by the book you will see the palette in the palettes wondow(it is The first palette).
4. Ok we loaded the file. Now you have to put it in use.
Close the "Pallettes" and "indexed color conversion" windows.They need to be closed because indexed mode" has to refresh and load the existing patterns.
5. The actual "pixelising". Again go to Image>Mode>Indexed. But now when you click the "Use custom palette""button you will see the minecraft's pallete on top of the other.Go to color dittering and try all setings there. ENJOY.
6. To see the colors and their relevan color ingame cust go to "palettes window", mark minecraft.gpl and click button at the bottom left corner edit pallete.Remember to make the colims 31.

Curious, did you create this pallet?
-
yh, I downloaded the mc classic textures, scaled them to 1 pixel, and added these to the palette. Not very hard to do, but quite useful :P
nice vid toxic ;)
-
Thanks toic, I'll try that when I get back from Paris
-
Ok i made a vid of those palettes, but for photoshop. It is way easier than gimps tutorial, but i dont know how to upload the palettes file. If anyone knows how to upload anykind of files please tell me... Enjoy.

Oh :-\ but monkey said something about you converting it... Nvm
-
;D there is a palette for photoshop too, but we still have to upload it :P
-
I am a noob at this....When i convert to the palette, all of the colors change! Help please?
-
This only works for large pics, don't even bother with the smaller ones, unless it has very few colours.
-
Palette for photoshop uploaded in the old zip, so just redownload that. I also put the links to toxics you-tube vids in the manual.
Just something else I feel I must share about spriting.
If you never sprited before, don't do it because of this. Spriting is an art, and this is just a tool to aid you. Untill I started working on the greyscale sprites, every single one of them was done with only my eyes as a guide. Please do not think spriting is easy, for it is not. If people need a videoguide to start up an image-editor, it's clearly not something they have done much before. Therefore I want to ask you, please try some yourself first, before you go using this.
-
This is awesome! Look what i made with it!...

well.... i work without... so i don't need it ;D

Ahh some more blues!

Since I'm going to sprite on the floor for my next project I needed to modify the palette for gold and iron, since they use a different texture for the top. It is included in the zip as MinecraftFloor.gpl
-
New update, with cobblestone, bricks and bookcases, also fixed the palette for the floor. I also grass, brick and TNT to it.
-
pls make a code fr this EG-tells what block and weather shaded or not...... i just do blk&White 4 now cus i cant realy figure out which is which
-
Am i missing something, where is the photoshop pallet?
-
@Spikey It says 'shadow' in front of the blocktype if it has shadow. Can't really see what I could do different to make it easier.
@Nick Yh, I took the photoshop palette out, as it was no longer up to date and I was waiting for Toxic to update it. If you want I can upload the old one though.

If this cant help you ill make a short vid on how to see witch color, and how to keep track of what color your using.Coment this below
-
tox is there any other way to see it EG scroll over a pixel in the pic and it tells you what block to use.. Rather than keeping the palette editor open???
Would be great help if there is a way like this
-
No there is not, unless you go Terre-style and do it yourself. But srsly, how much easier can we make it. I'm actually considering taking this down, for people just want to start spriting, without even trying to do some effort by themselves. I really haven't seen anything original as of lately except Terres work.

How do you resize the picture to be smaller? (I use the photoshop way)

See, that's what I mean, no offense to you personally Mr. but have you ever even used an image-editor before? I get the feeling most people just see sprites, think, oh cool, I wanna do that too, and just think it's copy-pasting from the image. I even see people not knowing that they have to zoom in to see the individual pixels, which really disappoints me. I would like this topic to be moved to the crafter+ forums, so not every retard can have his way with this. Spriting is an art, it's not difficult, but you will need to put time in it to get hang of it. I don't have the feeling most of you appreciate the hard work people do to verify each pixel against the available blocks, to see which one is best. Doing days of preparations before you can actually start working. The weeks it took Terre to do his knight all on the eye, I think you should show a little more appreciation for this.
Anyway, locked for now to further questions, you'll have to do it with this.

I've never got photoshop before...
I never knew how stupid I was one year ago, until now. I will break down your quote, Mr.Monkey.
See, that's what I mean, no offense to you personally Mr. but have you ever even used an image-editor before?
It was my first time ever using an image editor for real instead of just scribbling over the page or changing the background colour with the paint bucket.
Spriting is an art, it's not difficult, but you will need to put time in it to get hang of it.
I actually needed more time to know what I was doing before I was able to sprite, it took me a few months to know what and how to do it.
I don't have the feeling most of you appreciate the hard work people do to verify each pixel against the available blocks, to see which one is best.
I honestly don't know who wouldn't appreciate it.

1. Download this. (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19711803/Palette.zip)
2. Move the minecraft.gpl to the desktop or anywhere you want.
3. Download and install Gimp. (http://www.gimp.org/)
