I have googled in for a sprite editor and can't seem to find one. I know that VERC has Sprite Wizard but I believe that is for creating new sprites and not editing current ones from games. I remember finding a download for a sprite editor somewhere and someone pointing me to a tutorial on sprite editing but I can't seem to find either one.

The sprite viewer on the utilities page lets you cycle through the sprites individual frames, and export them as .bmp's. I think these are what you want to edit. The link that Orpheus gave you is to the sprite wizard, which can compile your edited .bmp's into a new sprite.

All of the .bmp's in your sprite must share the same 256 colour palette.

What I mainly want to do is edit the sprites so the I can get say something like rain to drip down and not always face the player. If sprite wizard can do that then that will do fine. Also I saw a tutorial on editing sprites like that somewhere but I can't find it anywhere and I even tried google, but nothing came up that I could use. So if someone knows of a tut let me know please.

One of our very own members, Jinx, has a really good tutorial on his site for the sprites you mean, Spartan.

btw, my 1st post answered your original question. this one answers what you meant.

Thanks Fishy that's the exact tut I have been looking for. I read through it before a few months back but then I somehow couldn't find it again.
