Just making the games I want to, linux/gentoo enthusiast, addicted to C++.
Every day is international “punch a nazi” day.
I block stupid people, life isn’t long enough to talk to a brick wall.
@FizzyOrange @vane randomly re-ordered your bullet points? as someone who has to use the latest MS office on my work computer that sounds like they nailed acting like MS office to me…word does that ALL the time when I’m trying to review documents, lol
@Fizz from a quick look it seems there’s a quite popular open source one that specifically outputs formats for godot as well.
@Fizz similar but for games/engines that don’t use uniform tile maps you basically just have a metadata set alongside the image that indexes where each sub-image is located in it.
It doesn’t really change the end product, and as I said most engines already work like this for most 2d stuff, and many editors will pack for you if you tell them. You’re just indexing portions of a texture, but it uses an order of magnitude less memory/storage and loads faster even off slow storage or web streaming.
@ICastFist @Fizz i see this is godot specific and I’m not 100% sure how godot handles it but the normal way to store your image data for sprites like this is to index them from a packed sprite sheet (there’s tons of sprite packers out there, lots of animation tools have them built in), so instead of each obj being a 1000x1000png to use your example you may have a 4000x4000png with 10 objects packed in it.
Most engines will handle this for you, you just have to pack the assets correctly for it.
@Auster @Shatur @vogi @Eldritch depends on what you’re doing, gimp blows both krita and photoshop out of the water for more technical editing (especially when you start using scripts) and doing things like low resolution icons/etc, i have to say though I HATE the new UI they made default in 3.0, the intent was to make it more 'ps-like" and instead it became a bastardization of both, thankfully they listened and gave options to roll most of it back. Especially the single color grouped icons…
