Hello,I need help :oops: . I have a lifebar thats 100x9930 in size,but the image size limit is 8000x8000. I've tried resizing the life bar,but the lines get different in size, so how to increase the limit?

You can't up the limit. I'd suggest aligning the bars differently, or have fewer frames. Animations can have both horizontal and vertical frames (from left to right, then top to bottom).

Thanks Skyde. So there is absolutely no way to change the limit? (Even by editing some code or something?)
P.S. May I ask,is there a software that could make lifebars much easier then using paint?

Anything that is not made by Microsoft.
Or you can use canvases.

That's not a software... A canvas is a cyan region in Game Editor.

Short of downloading the source and compiling a new version of gE that has the limit upped (assuming the size limit is enforced by gE for efficiency reasons), no there isn't.

As MrJolteon said, you might consider using gE canvases instead of actual animations. You should look at this post DST made. http://game-editor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5756

You can't, 1.5 is a buggy piece of shit, and still in beta.
And also, double posts aren't frowned upon here. I mean, just look at Werty, he's posted several centuple posts, and no one said anything about that.

As MrJolteon said, it isn't considered out of date until a stable release is made (last one being 1.4). That being said, you couldn't have used the most recent 1.5 release (only for mac), since a lot of the bugs have been fixed, and those that remain are being worked on.
