Hi, is there an example detailing the managing of sprite sheets? More specifically, the text file that accompanies this file describing the tiles/frames..
I am not near my PC right now, but I recall there needing to be a control txt file with your image. So, you can only have one image then?
Is this the same as the term "atlas image" ?

Thanks

Yes it is the same thing. The text file simply holds each individual image's details IE. Where it is, how big it is and what it's called.

AGK has commands to load "sub images" which use the text file data to load individual sprite frames.

OK. But what about the layout/content of the txt file?

..and can you only have one?

Here's a quick example from a font subimage file:
64:0:0:66:90
87:0:90:56:90
119:0:180:52:90
109:0:270:49:90
95:0:360:46:90
37:66:0:45:90

...so from the first line an image called "64" starts at position 0:0 and is 66 pixels wide by 90 high... and so on.

One sub-image text file? Yes, per image. The sub-image commands look for a txt file that has the same name as the image but suffixed " subimages.txt"
