I am using the Sprite Pack feature in Advanced Sprites. My issue is when I have an bitmap image that measures 25x25 pixels that I made in gimp so I know it's actual size. Here's the code:



When I use this code I expect the two 25x25 tiles next to each other not overlapping or separated. But when the program is ran, the 2 tiles are clearly overlapping each other. What gives?

Thanx-

What happens if you separate it farther?


I'm sure the draw sprite statement isn't the problem. Maybe you are missing some steps while setting up the sprite or while rending the pack. If you could show your sprite setup and render codes it'll help more.

Have you also tried using different image format like Jpeg, Png, etc?

I am now using the PNG format and the location problem still happens. Even though they tiles are 25x25, I have to separate them to 32x32 so they wont either overlap or be separated.

What other steps may I be missing? whats the usual culprit?

Sounds like it's stretching the surface to the nearest power of 2. Perhaps there's a flag to stop this ?

You can ask the sprite size with command DXS GET SPRITE WIDTH and DXS GET SPRITE HEIGHT.

If you dont want, you may use the following method.

SPRITE_SIZE=IMAGE_SIZE*1.25

OR you can rescale the sprite, but thats not adviced.

The problem isn't with the Advanced Sprites at all, it is the way you load your images.
Highlight or click the LOAD IMAGE statement and press "F1", read up on the Texture Flag. To keep your Image pixel perfect you would want to load your image with a texture flag of 1:


Now on the other hand you may also skip this step entirely and just load it directly to the Advanced Sprite:

Adding the "1" to the load image command did the trick. Even though it worked, I will replace the LOAD IMAGE command with the DSX CREATE SPRITE("image.png") command to avoid any more unexpected quirks.
