# Spriting Requirements
|
|
|
|
## Mobs
|
|
|
|
Mobs require sprites in 4 directions. Playable mobs should be able to wear
|
|
clothes, hold items, wear gloves, glasses, etc. Anything worn on mobs must be in
|
|
the same place in all 4 directions.
|
|
|
|
## Turfs
|
|
|
|
Floors are one of few exceptions to perspective. Floors should be 2-dimensional.
|
|
Avoid flat, solid coloring. Instead, try to divide floors into sections or have
|
|
a special design in mind.
|
|
|
|
## Objects
|
|
|
|
### Items
|
|
|
|
Items that you can pick up generally require in-hand sprites, as well as being
|
|
1-directional. If objects are 4-directional or 8-directional, they should never
|
|
rotate. The best example of this is the pinpointer or medical crew pinpointer.
|
|
|
|
### Clothing
|
|
|
|
Clothing requires an item sprite in the appropriate dmi file in
|
|
icons/obj/clothing/, an in-hand sprite in icons/mob/items_lefthand.dmi and
|
|
items_righthand.dmi, as well as the on-mob sprite in the appropriate file in
|
|
icons/mob/clothing
|
|
|
|
### Machinery and structures
|
|
|
|
Direction count varies from machine to machine. Some can be rotated, such as
|
|
laser emitters, and some cannot, such as chemical dispensers. Ideally, if it can
|
|
have 4-directional sprites, it should have 4-directional sprites. All machines
|
|
should have an 'on' sprite and an 'off' sprite.
