[Tutorial] How to add a new Sprite Sheet on As3 Client

How to add a new Sprite Sheet
Well, uh lets begin lol

First, you need to take a current sprite sheet and erase all of the contents of it and replace it with the new contents or whatever it is you are adding to your new sprite sheet.
For this particular tutorial I'll be creating 8x8 characters and will be using "Embeds_chars8x8dHero1Embed_.png" as a template.

Step 1:
Once you have added everything on your sprite sheet go all the way to the src directory, right click and New>Actionscript Class and fill in the name of your sprite sheet.

Step 2:
Add this code to the ActionScript class you just added for your sheet.

Code:

package 
{
    import mx.core.*;
    
    [Embed(source="nameofyoursheet.png")]
    public class nameofyoursheet extends mx.core.BitmapAsset
    {
        public function nameofyoursheet()
        {
            super();
            return;
        }
    }
}

this will embed the sprite sheet you add in your client so it can be used

Step 3:
Get the your sprite sheet and add it to your client by dragging the png file to the src directory.

Step 4:
Now go to com>company>assembleegameclient>util>loadEmbeds.as
and find this

Code:

public static var innerP2MaskEmbed_:Class = Embeds_innerP2MaskEmbed_;

and under it paste this

Code:

public static var nameofyoursheet:Class = nameofyoursheet;

then find

Code:

_0B_c.add("chars8x8rHero1", new Embeds.chars8x8rHero1Embed_().bitmapData, null, 8, 8, 56, 8, _lJ_.RIGHT);

and under it add this

Code:

_0B_c.add("nameofyourspritesheet", new nameofyourspritesheet().bitmapData, null, 8, 8, 56, 8, _lJ_.RIGHT);

Step 5:
If you are making a 16x16 sheet then go to

Code:

AssetLibrary._05q("lofiProjsBig", new Embeds.lofiProjsBigEmbed_().bitmapData, 16, 16);

and take only the

Code:

16, 16

part and replace with the

Code:

8, 8, 56, 8, _lJ_.RIGHT);

(it wont move but you'll et the point. lol if you need it to be animated just go take the one from an animated sprite sheet and replace. If you do it wrong it could cause some buggy stuff to be happening with some sprites u add in it)

Step 6:
Finally add it in your server xmls like so

Code:

  <Object type="0xa97" id="Energy Staff">
    <Class>Equipment</Class>
    <Item/>
    <Texture>
      <File>nameofyoursheet</File>
      <Index>0x70</Index>
    </Texture>
    <SlotType>17</SlotType>
    <Tier>0</Tier>
    <Description>A magical wooden staff topped with a white crystal.</Description>
    <RateOfFire>1</RateOfFire>
    <Sound>weapon/fire_wand</Sound>
    <Projectile>
      <ObjectId>Grey Missile</ObjectId>
      <Speed>180</Speed>
      <MinDamage>10</MinDamage>
      <MaxDamage>30</MaxDamage>
      <LifetimeMS>475</LifetimeMS>
      <Amplitude>0.5</Amplitude>
      <Frequency>2</Frequency>
    </Projectile>
    <BagType>0</BagType>
    <NumProjectiles>2</NumProjectiles>
    <ArcGap>0</ArcGap>
    <OldSound>magicShoot</OldSound>
  </Object>

there ur done lul
To make it look cleaner you can perhaps add that Embeds_ to your sheet hardly think its neccessary since I believe its there to seperate the class from the actual sheet and doesn't make a difference in the client.
