[Help] How do I edit Character Sprites without breaking them?

Whenever I edit files like knightMale.png and open up KAG, the characters heads never load in and the red team have blue sprites. Downloaded files work fine, could it be a problem with Pixen?

 

Make sure you use the blue colors from the colorpallete.png. You also see in normal knightmale.png above each body a pink (with ± 2 a yellow) pixel, that's the head

 

But how do I make the heads appear? Even If I edit something and then undo it, they still appear without heads.

 

The purple/pink point you have in the unedited version.

 

What if I want to make the head customisable? Do you still need a head there?

 

You can place the pixel everywhere in the sprite sheet, if you want custom heads edit maleheads.png or femaleheads.png

 

But they don't show up in the game if I edit the files of the bodies.

 

Maybe you already know how to fix.
In the default kag textures, the class sprites have a light pink pixel. Where the pixel is, the head will appear.

Ps: I Didn't seen the post that they already sayd that, sorry, i think that my forum is bugged!

 

The problem was that I was using software that changed the colours slightly so they didn't match the teampalette.png.

 

probably pixen. get photoshop

i use pyxel edit

 

Sounds like a problem with your photo editor, either that or you're not looking at the sprites properly.

Try something like photoshop, and if you can't afford it, try pixlr.com. It's a good online image editing tool that is fairly similar to photoshop.

 

Yer it was Pixen, I've been using Gimp for a while now though.

 

noooo dont use gimp for pixel art. i still remember those times. :(

 

It's good enough, sometimes I'll use Pixen and just change the colours afterwards in Gimp.
