Random Talking Bush's Sprite Showoff

[Random Talking Bush]

How are you ripping the game? These look too good to have have been jigsawed together like I had to do for Valefor.

That's actually what I've been doing in the first place!

The important thing I've learned when ripping these is that the "normal map" image (basically identical to the respective sheets, except that it's a dull yellow) that always dumps when you use NinjaRipper alongside the respective sprites retain the original sprite tile boundaries, which can be seen if you remove the alpha channel from those. Once you've merged that with the original sprite sheet, you can spot the sprite pieces and their tile boundaries more easily, since all the used space is now properly marked. Almost all of the sprites are sized to multiples of 8 pixels like usual (though I've found a few exceptions to the rule), however, the sprite pieces always have a one-pixel border around them which needs to be removed (so in other words, a 24x32 chunk is actually 26x34), but at the same time it also acts as a guide of sorts since any sprites that are split into multiple pieces will have one row or column of their adjacent pieces in said border. But once that's all done, the result should look something like this:


Naturally I've already got Gremory's sprites here pieced together and sheeted, I'll be submitting the full sheet after Bloodless and Bathin (but before Zangetsu, since I'm uploading them in sequential order).

And speaking of, just finished Andrealphus not too long ago:
