Heyho,

i made a rifleman.

The problem is, some animations got cut off and i think it got something to do with the shifting in the animations.

Is there a formula one could use?

I based him off the small biter.

Here you got the animation:

Code: Select all

function rus_rifleman_1_runanimation(scale)
  return
  {
    layers=
    {
      {
        width = 190,
        height = 125,
        frame_count = 8,
        direction_count = 16,
        shift = { 0.0, 0.0},
        scale = scale,
        stripes =
        {
         {
          filename = "__robotarmy__/graphics/entity/rus_rifleman_1/rus_rifleman_1_run.png",
          width_in_frames = 8,
          height_in_frames = 16,
         },
         {
          filename = "__robotarmy__/graphics/entity/rus_rifleman_1/rus_rifleman_1_run.png",
          width_in_frames = 8,
          height_in_frames = 16,
         }
        }
      }
	}
  }
end

Here you got himself:

Code: Select all

data:extend(
{
  {
    type = "unit",
    name = "rus_rifleman_1",
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/small-biter.png",
    flags = {"placeable-player", "placeable-enemy", "placeable-off-grid", "breaths-air"},
    max_health = 15,
    order = "b-b-a",
    subgroup="creatures",
	minable = {hardness = 0.1, mining_time = 0.1, result = "rus_rifleman_1_item"},
    healing_per_tick = 0.01,
    collision_box = {{-0.5, -0.5}, {0.5, 0.5}},
    selection_box = {{-0.5, -0.5}, {0.5, 0.5}},
    attack_parameters =
    {
      type = "projectile",
      range = 12.5,
      cooldown = 35,
      ammo_category = "melee",
      ammo_type = make_unit_melee_ammo_type(6),
      sound = make_biter_roars(0.5),
      animation = rus_rifleman_1_attackanimation(riflemanscale)
    },
    vision_distance = 30,
    movement_speed = 0.1,
    distance_per_frame = 0.4,
    pollution_to_join_attack = 200,
    distraction_cooldown = 300,
    dying_explosion = "blood-explosion-small",
    dying_sound =  make_biter_dying_sounds(1.0),
    working_sound =  make_biter_calls(0.7),
    run_animation = rus_rifleman_1_runanimation(riflemanscale)
  }
}
)

Thanks in advance for any help =)

I'm adding my spritesheet for reference.

What exactly is getting cut off?
Shift is used to align the sprite correctly in case it is off center but since you only have one layer in your animation this shouldn't cause any real issue.

Also why are you declaring the same run animation file twice inside stripes in the runanimaton function.
The stripes parameter is used when you want to combine multiple source images because one would be too large. So you should replace the whole stripes section with the following line:

Code: Select all

filename = "__robotarmy__/graphics/entity/rus_rifleman_1/rus_rifleman_1_run.png",

Heyho,

thank you for having a look.

I got rid of the stripes and also killed the shift.

Still it cuts off on the left. It's hard to describe.

Have a look:

Can't repro.

Maybe try deleting crop-cache.dat, might help if you were using a different image with the same name previously and now things got confused somehow.

Ok I just tested it with your code and it works perfectly on my side:

Sorry I have no idea what the problem is, maybe it's your computer or some internal factorio bug. Maybe your game ran out of video memory?
Here is the data.lua code I used to test it, I only changed some the image paths and experimented a little with shift, maybe you can spot the difference:

Code: Select all

function rus_rifleman_1_runanimation(scale)
  return
  {
    layers=
    {
      {
        width = 190,
        height = 125,
        frame_count = 8,
        direction_count = 16,
        shift = { scale * 1.5, scale * -0.5},
        scale = scale,
        filename = "__test-mod__/rus_rifleman_1_run.png",
      }
   }
  }
end

riflemanscale = 1

data:extend{
  {
    type = "unit",
    name = "rus_rifleman_1",
    icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/small-biter.png",
    flags = {"placeable-player", "placeable-enemy", "placeable-off-grid", "breaths-air"},
    max_health = 15,
    order = "b-b-a",
    subgroup="creatures",
    minable = {hardness = 0.1, mining_time = 0.1, result = "rus_rifleman_1"},
    healing_per_tick = 0.01,
    collision_box = {{-0.5, -0.5}, {0.5, 0.5}},
    selection_box = {{-0.5, -0.5}, {0.5, 0.5}},
    attack_parameters =
    {
      type = "projectile",
      range = 12.5,
      cooldown = 35,
      ammo_category = "melee",
      ammo_type = make_unit_melee_ammo_type(6),
      sound = make_biter_roars(0.5),
      animation = rus_rifleman_1_runanimation(riflemanscale)
    },
    vision_distance = 30,
    movement_speed = 0.1,
    distance_per_frame = 0.4,
    pollution_to_join_attack = 200,
    distraction_cooldown = 300,
    dying_explosion = "blood-explosion-small",
    dying_sound =  make_biter_dying_sounds(1.0),
    working_sound =  make_biter_calls(0.7),
    run_animation = rus_rifleman_1_runanimation(riflemanscale)
  },
  {
		type = "item",
		name = "rus_rifleman_1",
		icon = "__base__/graphics/icons/small-biter.png",
		flags = {"goes-to-quickbar"},
		subgroup = "creatures",
		order = "a",
		stack_size = 100,
		place_result = "rus_rifleman_1",
	},
	{
		type = "recipe",
		enabled = true,
		ingredients = {
			{ "copper-cable", 1 }
		},
		name = "rus_rifleman_1",
		requester_paste_multiplier = 4,
		result = "rus_rifleman_1",
		result_count = 1
	}
}

Heyho,

i duplicated the unit to spawn as an enemy for my mod and that got no cut off edges.

Where can i find the cropcache.dat? I guess this could be the solution.

Edit: Nevermind. Found it. And worked. I wasn't aware this even existed. I'm an idiot. Thank you very much!
