misto tries spriting, also new trader portraits

[amaranthineApocalypse]

thank u for this advices. so if i just chunk these current sprites into this dmi-ing aspect of byond and use it to make transparency it will be good enough? no need to remove the human part from the held sprites and things? and where do i place the ground sprite?

Get rid of the human part and the ground.

Every single sprite in the game is stored on its own seperate file, when they need to be used they're overlaid onto each other to give the illusion of it all being part of one sprite. This is why the transparency is important, because otherwise you'd just end up with it blotting everything else out. It'd look horrible.
