i want to make a character maker for a 2d game, i want to be able to select what color hair, eyes, clothes, etc. if i load everything from separate files, when all is said and done, is there any way to save it all as one jpg?

Next time you do that i'm gonna cut off your wee wee, and put it on some bread and feed it to kitty....

Yes... but you don't want to use .jpg. .jpgs change the colors so you never see the original image again. Is this for a character that has one graphic or a character that needs to be changed for every single frame of animation?

Divide the image into a grid of equal rectangles, each one the same size and big enough to hold the largest graphic.

In your program, load the image into a hidden bitmap and use a nested For..Next loop to grab the contents of each 'cel' on the grid.

Can't give you the exact code required as it depends on the size of your images, but it would be along the lines of:



Once in separate images, you can delete the bitmap and use them for whatever.
