Oh gosh I am tooting my own horn quite a bit recently and I apologize, but I just remembered I started another project a while ago which might actually prove useful for this, so tonight I worked on finishing it up.
Here: http://www.jermungandr.net/experiments/s.../index.php
You have to upload a file to actually see the demonstration on this one, but basically what it does is you upload a whole sprite sheet and it cuts out each individual sprite into individual image files with the background color removed (by default).
So basically all you would have to do for the majority of the sheets is just process it through this, which is fairly quick, and then save your sprite of choice from the output.
Using it is super simple; with most sheets all you have to do is select a sheet and hit "go", as the default settings should do the trick for most files. However if you need to change the settings:
- Transparency Mode "Back": Uses the overall background color of the sheet as the transparency color. Color is determined by the pixel in coordinates (0,0).
- Transparency Mode "Box": This mode is for if the sprites on the sheet are saved with little box containers around them, like this sheet here. It will attempt to choose the transparency by color of the box the sprite lies on.
- Checking the "x2" box will double the size of the output images.
This is not guaranteed to work with every sheet because it depends a lot on the person creating it using a sensible arrangement and the use of separator lines may sometimes fool the code, but I'd say it should work for about 95% of all sprite sheets.
... anyways I'm going to go find a hole to climb into now.
