What sprite formats can be used for OTS?

[Damon]

Hello,
I wanted to try making custom spell animations for new ots spells so i was wondering what file formats can be used to import into TFS? .Gif perhaps? I figure id also need to compile it.

Can you help me out there @Shadowsong ?

Hmm, you can import a normal image ( .png or .jpg) if you are making a new Thing using the object editor.

Just open the object editor, and click import, i don't remember accurately.

Don't use gif, export all frames in PNG, safest and cleanest way and it's good to get used to it. OB will also recognize GIF, but it won't recognize the animation, only one frame
PNG supports transparency of all sorts, while GIF only supports full transparency and is of lesser quality.

Use ObjectBuilder by edmignari to compile new .spr/.dat files.
