I am trying to get some sprites to appear properly for locomotives
currently to get the sprite lined up with the selection box I need to add a shift value of
Code: Select all
entity.pictures =
{
layers =
{{
...
shift = {4, -.65},
...
}}
}
is there another way to shift sprites so that this doesnt happen? :

Edit the image file and shift it by 64 pixels per tile (32 pixels per tile for low-res).

that only worked a little, I think the answer sadly is I need to re-render the graphics rotated around a different location

It doesn't have wheels at the front, right? You need to make sure you rotate around the center of rotation when on tracks rather than the center of the model. Your sprite sheet will be bigger with a lot of empty space, but I think you have to live with that.

There is a script for that:

The point is that their trouble is solved by that blank space.

yeah I ended up re-rendering the sprites so they rotated around the entity's rotation point, because I originally rendered them for the sprite's center of rotation
that was the result I wanted
I wasnt worried about the empty space so much
