Frame rate of sprite sequences.
Hiya, fellas.
Tech question:
I'm playing around with changing some of the graphics in DS. I made myself a "wife-beater" (named after his shirt) in MilkShape3D. You can see a GIF of him walking, here:
http://members.rogers.com/armitage/
(Notice that he has no stippled shadow... more work to do!)
Now, when I replace the graphics of Dink with the wife-beater, there are some problems. The original "Dink walking south-west" animation has 8 frames. My wife-beater has 20 frames of animation to do the same thing.
Because he has more frames, he appears to "skate." That is, one of his steps takes him father than a step.
I don't want to lower the number of frames. Is there a way to shorten the time between frames? I've poked around with Dink.ini , but couldn't figure it out.
Cheers,
Armitage

I wouldn't know about that, but there's a smart way to adjust shadows without having to mess around with adding black dots: SimpleGraphics by mimifish. Real cool.

You can use sp_frame_delay() to alter the time between frames.
You can use sp_timing() to alter the time between cycles (sequence played once).

Also the second # seen in ini. is the default framerate delay. Eg:
load_sequence_now graphicsdinkwalkds-w1- 71 43 38 72 -14 -9 14 9
The "71" is the sequence # the "43" is the frame delay. Try changing the one you need. (the other #s are depth que and some other sruff.)
