Shiny

SpriteAnimator

• Backgrounds are now animated (except the ones that didn't need to be), both in app and in exported gifs. Unanimated versions can still be used with the new checkbox under the combobox.
  • Backgrounds are, and will remain, animated separately from Link. GIFS may not loop perfectly anymore. Oh well.
• Added "Sword primed", for a stood still Link with his sword out.
• Renamed a number of animations.
• Update for correct sprite API endpoint.
• Fixed an inconsistency with numbering in the trawler.
• Removed neutral frames from being listed in the trawler.

Things

SpriteAnimator

Update checker

SpriteAnimator

Stuff

SpriteAnimator v1.15

• Better sheet trawler
  • Moved to new Tools menu
  • Added animation breakdowns
  • Prettier interface
• Non-Windows file writing fixed (maybe)
• GIFs are now broken down into folders by sprite

You will need the Java Runtime Environment to use these *.jar apps.

More things

All programs

• Everything is now released in a single .zip file.

SpriteAnimator (v1.13)

• Now uses its own folder for resources and writing files.
• Now includes several folders in its directory (these will be created as needed):
  • /collages - For the new collage feature
  • /CPTrackerImages - For tracker images used for CrossProduct's tracker and its forks
  • /gifs - For animations it creates; it will no longer write in a new folder located with the sprite source.
  • /VT - A cache of all sprites currently live on the randomizer website. Use the option under the help menu to refresh this list when a new randomizer version is released (this may take a couple minutes to complete). (Idea shamelessly stolen from KevinCathcart)
• Collage export - A new feature which creates an image strip of the animation. Does its best to only use as much space as it has to. (I'm sorry this took so long, Mike.)
• Play once - A new animation mode that runs an animation once, pausing on the final step
• PNG support - Read an image raw to test animations without converting to a sprite file. As such, palette changes are not supported for png files.
• Backgrounds:
  • Added Green screen
  • Added Agahnim's Tower
  • Added World map
  • Updated Houlihan to include the telepathic tile
• Added hand cursors for UI buttons
