Thought I might put an update of my part of this project up
Last night I got the image viewer working with a limited number of Slides
See the spr file before it is made as it made into a small animation
As well as allowing you to see how the movement looks as well as the shadow of them movement. Independently and then a combined image
It will also have hue and shadow modification capabilities on all the images to get the modified colours to look just right.
You should then be able to save all the files together so you can modify them in paint shop if you need to or just compile them into the spr.
Just a few questions for the keeper of the holy grail
Am I right in assuming that the product of the sprite de compiler will be a bit map a quarter of the size of the original and with a fully integrated shadow
