Script for GIMP that adds a sprite sheet generation feature to Filter/Animations/tilemancer. If you use layer groups to organize different animations of the same sprite, you can generate one row per layer group. Alternatively, use a square shape to optimize file size.
Tilemancer sets the grid size for you when generating, just make sure that the grid is enabled if you want to use that.
- Put
tilemancer.scmin your script folder. you can find the script folder by going toEdit/Preferences/Folders/Scriptsin GIMP. - Click on
Filters/Script-Fu/'Refresh Scrips'
With the animation frames as layers, its easy to edit and preview using GIMPs Filter/Animation/Playback
When the animation looks good, use tilemancer to convert it to a sprite sheet
Well, I found some free python scripts floating around the internet for this purpose, but python seems to work poorly/not at all with the newest versions of GIMP. So I took this as an opportunity to learn more about GIMP scripting, and Scheme.
