PNG sprite rotator/scaler util v.1.03

[DST]

Greetings. I have made a Java util that allows you to rotate/scale sprites with full alpha (transparency) support.

I used it to create the bullet demo for Chai. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=9396

This is especially useful for particle fx, objects with trails, etc. etc.

This util formats rotations to fit the GE angle system.

It is a java util and requires java to run. Compatibility has been tested with 64 win7 and 64 ubuntu.

Hope you find this useful!

**Update v1.01: Fixed bug on non-square frame amounts.**
**Update v1.02: Fixed float bug on rotation amounts**
**Update v1.03: Fixed Multiple bugs:
Properly determines absolute filled sheets(no blank spots), and chooses closest combination to square that's possible. This means any frame number works - if you choose a prime number, your sheet will be 1xnumber, a square number will result in a sheet sqrt(number) x sqrt(number).
Zoom properly capped.
You can now drag the image with Right Mouse button.

What do I have to write in nFrames?

[schnellboot]

2 little things:
1.Could you extend the FileName text field with a "Open .." button?
2.My mousewheel is broken, is there another way to zoom-out?

This tool rocks +1

the filename wont work do you just put the name in or the full location?

Also, HYPNOTOAD!!!!!

[DST]

1. the file must be in the same directory with the exe file.
2. Just type the filename without the extension i. e. to load test.png you would just enter test

3. Yes i do plan to add a file dialog. Also, you should get a new mouse.

Wow this seems so cool!
Only one bad thing... I think I don't have java 'cause I can't run it.

(insert slapstick trumpet of pity)

Ah, you have to load the file from the same location as the .exe now do you? i could've guessed. Cheers.

maaaaan i really need this and it looks awesome...I have java but when i run it i get an error message: "Could not find the main class: Program will exit!"

works like a charm, great program here!

DST, I am going to use this for some animations in my game. Do you want credit and point whenever I produce a Game onto here (or outside of GE possibly) where one of the animations is created using this?

[DST]

Glad you found it useful, but no, i don't need any credit for it. It's a simple utility that anyone could have made, really. I have some more i plan to tidy up and post in the future.

Updated yet again, fixing most remaining problems. It will now always output completely filled sheets, and you can drag the image to see other areas of it.

You can always use what I've been using for the longest time,
Feral's sprite rotator. It's not java so it should work for you.
