Well this is a nightmare and a half. I've decided to try and convert my shitty sprites to .dmi and my god. I fully understand now why coders can't be half-assed to convert sprites to .dmi sometimes, because it is a just a tedious nightmare.
A a test, and because it should be relatively simple to use due to needing only one sprite for each, I converted the two aquarium sprites into .dmi. Could someone please check and see if I did everything right? Like, if the sprites actually work and if they're transparent or not. If so I can actually try more spriting now, and maybe convert the joke-clothes I made into .dmi (after touchups, of course.) If I were to do that, how would I go about it? Would each different sprite be a seperate .dmi file, or do they all need to be linked some how?
Sprites here, I think. (Dropbox)
On top of other general incompetency, this is also my first time dealing with dropbox, so sorry if this also doesn't work.
At the end of all of this, I also just realized that I likely left the corners of the aquarium sprites as white and not transparent, so now these sprites are offically only test sprites, woo! Darn.
Also, for future reference, could we please get an official-ish guide on the wiki for converting to .dmi? Unless I missed it, the wiki primarily only covers the artistic aspects of spriting. I had to use the TG station wiki, along with a bunch of other random info cobbled together from various sources.
