Adjusting Frame Sizes When Animating Images

[plomano]

Hello,

When animating an image, the image jumps around a lot due to different frame sizes.

Would it be possible to adjust all frame sizes to fit the largest frame size when animating/exporting an animated image?

This would produce a much cleaner and more accurate animation.

Thank you.

The problem is centering :) That's why you have all the tools in animation editor to center each frame. Just resizing canvas won't center animation :) It will just center frame image (the actual body may be off-center).

So the question is why do you mean by animating and what do you really need. You can export animations as GIFs that should give you nice animation with all the information in place.

If you can join our discord and tell me more what you need because I have a feeling that geometric center of frame image won't help you much :)

You can modify the source code to extract images with a fixed frame size.
This eliminates the need for a centerX and Y for each frame. You'll just need to place the frame once, create a "same frame," and create a "set" for all the actions.

Be careful, though, with new bodies (orc, dwarf, giant, children, etc.), you can't do this because other elements will break.

@plomano for what did you wanted to use this? just export frames so you can construct a gif or other animation somewhere? or to have the frames same size of other animations in the client? Because expanding animation frames may lead to some problems if frames get too big.
