Converting Sprites

From ZDoom Wiki

Converting Sprites into other formats is a great help.

Say you want to have Hexen's Korax Or Doom's Imp but you want to have them in Heretic you can use a tool known as DoomPicDump [1] to use this tool to convert sprites is quite easy.

To use this tool first you must get sprites from a wad (e.g Doom.wad) when you have exported them using your wad or lump managment tool (Preferably SLumpED) but have them exported into two formats .lmp and .png.

Then boot up DoomPicDump.

Navigate to your sprite folder select and modify the input to match the extensions e.g if you saved the files as .png change it to .PNG.

Then modify any settings you want and click convert all the newly created png files are ready to be imported to your wad.

Note: This is for converting sprites not moving any actors in the game, if you want to use these sprites for any of the games you need to create a DECORATE file or fetch your specific actor definition from the Actors List. [3]
