If you have not changed any code at all then the default sprite layout are 32x32 pixel height frames. 3 frames for every direction, all lined up in one row. just use your favorite image editor to rearrange in this case. However, with knowledge of the programming, you can change the code to display whatever you wish. |

As of default MSE1, you line them up in one row of sprites. The sections should be 3 sprites wide and 1 sprite wide. Every third sprite is an attack sprite. UUUDDDLLLRRR U = facing up (back to you) D = facing down (front to you) L = facing left (<-) R = facing right (->) Bolded are attack sprites. An example is attached below (includes a sprite with visible attacks and a code) (don't steal this sprite, as it is mine)

Mirage source, in any and all of its forms is coded in Visual Basic 6. You will need a VB6 compiler to do anything with the code. you can attempt to import the code into VB.net, but rest assured you will have to manually change A LOT of things in the code to get it to even compile. |

My Post still stands. you need to either program it in VB6 or you need to convert it to .net. if you convert to .net, know that you will be spending several days/weeks/months (depending on skill level) sorting out the myriad of bugs that will inevitably pop up. |

Either make the rectangle longer when blitting, or use two blit calls, for top and bottom. |
