Disclaimer: This is a guide to different styles of sprites, not the way they are formatted in an image. These sprites can all be formatted to work with RPG Maker VX or Ace, the programs currently supported by this site. Also, there are way more sprites types than I will discuss here. I'm going to cover some of the more common ones. This discussion only covers walking sprites, so things such as Holder's Animated Battlers will be absent.

One of the most important aspects to the RM community is the spriting world. Without sprites to populate our games, things get boring fast. But, not everyone wants the same old style of sprite. After some research, I'd like to give you all a guide to the many options available to you, as well as some key differences between each. The purpose of this guide is to make people aware of the various styles of sprites available and their characteristics.

Note that these are pre-existing styles, and nothing says you can't go and create your own. Note: The images here are found from the internet, as examples only. A simple web search should help you locate their original creators. VX/Ace RTP (Run Time Package). A sprite style that is less common. This is due to the size and amount of detailing required. Notable features: • Taller, proportionate body • Typically taller than the VX/Ace, Mack and XP Style • 3 or 4 frame animation (depending on format) • 32 x 85 approx.

Pixel for a single frame It would take more than a single post to discuss every type of sprite out there. With so many differences in terms of size, animation and aesthetics the topic of sprites would never end. If you still want to see more styles, go to this link: Click on the links there to see examples of the many different sprites, and how they different from each other. Psst, Mack and XP get mixed up all the time. Compare them and you'll see.

LooseLeaf generates XP sprites. To justify that statement here's the facts: The original Mack sprites were created for RPG Maker VX.

Anyone who owns Ace or VX knows that program uses 3 frames for animating sprites. The original Macks must have been 3 frames in order to work properly. If LooseLeaf was a generator for Mack sprites, then it would be 3 frames generated for a character. Looseleaf generates 4 frames, inconsistent with the Mack style. Also, as I mentioned above in the main post, Mack are 48 pixels tall. LooseLeaf generates sprites that are 64 pixels tall. LooseLeaf is a generator for XP sprites.

There's also the matter that Mack sprites have colors consistent with the VX/Ace RTP, whereas LooseLeaf sprites use the XP palette. Edited August 5, 2013 by charlesthehurst. Perhaps I've finally gone insane after all Why do Google's search results for 'mack sprite generator' all seem to point to the LooseLeaf page?

And why does the page have a copyright statement for someone named Mack? Perhaps we can get to the bottom of why XP and Mack get confused so often.

While the generator may indeed be intended for use with RMXP, the sprites it creates are not the same style as the XP RTP. Please don't think I'm unfamiliar with sprites: we can see by looking at the pixel art that the image you grabbed for reference is not reduced, but for argument's sake I'll compare it with some sprites directly from the XP RTP: They're all smaller than the LooseLeaf template. The eyes have little shinies in them. The colours are less saturated. The arms are thinner. Why do Google's search results for 'mack sprite generator' all seem to point to the LooseLeaf page?

And why does the page have a copyright statement for someone named Mack? Perhaps we can get to the bottom of why XP and Mack get confused so often. Because there really isn't any true (32x48) Mack generators that I'm aware of.

I've looked everywhere for one, and I haven't come acrossed it yet. So unfortunately we either have LooseLeaf, or we have to rely on already made material.

First off, I've never been fond of XP sprites. At 32x64 pixels, they appear too tall.

Our team of Veterinary doctors is very dedicated and well trained in surgeries. We have a Swaraj Mazda for Ambulance cum Mobile Surgery Unit, TATA 407, Ashok Leyland, Tata Ace vehicle which serves as a dog-catching vehicle which has been modified to suit this purpose. Missiya blagaya vestj spb propovedi shatrova. Each and every Veterinarian is groomed under the hand of our expert Dr. Our total staff strength is 34 people.

Plus they don't work well with the VX and Ace tilesets. Maybe great for elves, but not much else.

And at 32x32 pixels, the chibis look too small, perfect for dwarves and midgets though. So Mack is the perfect compromise, and works well within VX and Ace projects with some minor adjustments. Personally, the Macks look more realistic, stout, sturdy, and with enough detail that it doesn't detract from the game. Hopefully one day somebody will make a true Mack generator. But I digress.

I don't think Mack was made with just VX and Ace in mind. In fact, Mack was around way before VX (in the form of the Mack and Blue collection for RM2K/3), and they still have Mack resources for RM2K/3 on FSM. Also, there was a discussion some time back about Mack resources for XP, and a link to those resources: Not sure why the Mack XP didn't become quite as popular, other than perhaps Mack didn't enjoy working with XP as much? So it is possible that LooseLeaf was made by Mack with XP's settings in mind. Either way, LooseLeaf is a good tool to have when you want something that can generate a sprite that isn't 32x32 pixels.
