I can't get Make spin to creat a sprite from some Mechanisto images. It always comes up with an error. What am I doing wrong? :mad:

1)Don't shout, its repulsive
2)Is this a model, or a rendered image?
3)Did you select "open single PICT and spin" option from the menu?
4)Do you have the latest version?
5)Is the image a multiple of 8 times a multipule of 8? (8x8,16x16,32x32,etc.)

1. Shouting is the only way to get an answer on this wedboard.
2. It is a rendered model
3. No, I chose a set
4. I have 2.0
5. I have no idea what you are talking about!------------------

He's talking about the size of the grid. If you drew a 6x6 square grid on the sprite, the size of one square has to be a multiple of 8: 8x8, 16x16, etc, etc.

Make sure there are 36 frames...put them in a folder or something...separate from other stuff...the horizontal size of image should be multiple of 8...give Makespin more memory if it's a large ship...
<---Example of Mechanisto mastery...>=)PEACE YO!

Well, it only does ResEdit.
Get ResEdit, open the file. Go into the PICT resource, copy the graphics, paste them into any graphics program (Graphic Converter recommended), and load it into EV-Edit.
Else, download the EV Bible and learn to use ResEdit. Its an amazing program. A little complicated, but you will never want to use EV-Edit away (except for systems) when you discover the power of ResEdit.

**Naturaly I would be using ResEdit except that I am not allowed. The owner of the computer I use says that it is to powerful of a program and is afraid that I might ruin somthing.
So, how would you recemend that I make these sprites ?
also for your info, before I found mechanisto I was making (or trying to make) my ships in Photoshop------------------

Don't use EV Edit for anything! There are some serious bugs in it (It wrecked my plug-in!). Use EV Developer's Map for systems, Schmelta-V for missions, and ResEdit and EV Formula Calc for everything else. It's just as easy, and a lot safer.

Well, try that PICTs thing Kwanza said.
If that works not, send it to me, an I'll send it to you in EV-Edit version.
