Hello y'all, i'm new here, so i wanted to know on how to make a character for SRB2, At least the basics, like what program do i use for making the characters, how do i put skills, these stuff.
 
Hello there! Welcome to the forums! So, you wanna make a SRB2 character huh?...well then.... I don't know how to do one. Tho, I do know that a recommended program for lumps and stuff is SLADE 3. As for sprinting, i'de say something like MS Paint or Paint.net (preferably Paint.net), but there are some other programs. There does exist a page on the official SRB2 Wiki on how to make a character, but the page hasn't been currently updated to reflect 2.2. It might still help, so maybe try using that. Althought, I DO know how to make a character for SRB2's younger brother, SRB2 Kart. If you want to make a character for SRB2, nothing more, nothing less, then I don't know alot 'bout that. But if you're interested in Kart characters, then I know about that shtick. Hope you have a great time here at the message board!

Cool! I don't really any good knowledge on how to make a standard character, but Kart I do know. First, your gonna want to download this: https://mb.srb2.org/showthread.php?t=44319 . This tool makes character modding much easier. Secondly, go to the comments and find a comment by user kurobutt and download the color pallete. Now, just read the README.txt that comes with the zip file for the utillity mod and you can now start work on a character! Just make sure to read these before submitting a character: https://mb.srb2.org/announcement.php?f=68&a=34 https://mb.srb2.org/announcement.php?f=68&a=37 https://mb.srb2.org/announcement.php?f=68&a=45

Did you read the text file? In case not, you don't open kart maker.exe. You go into the folders on the top, choose the sprite sheet template, put the sprites on it (for colors, only use the row of greens seen on the color pallete), edit the characters main stats on the text file inside the sheet file, replace the existing voice clips with your own, then take the folder and drag and drop on top kart maker.exe. exe.

oooh lol, i read the txt file but i didn't understand what it wanted to say, thanks
 
Hey Netosilvagames. Trying to make a character I see.
The instructions couldn't be oh, so much simpler.
All you have to do is draw a standing sprite for your character, then import the sprite as STNDA1/A2A8/A3A7/A4A6/A5. (If you want more standing sprites, you can import another sprite as STNDB1)
You should be able to figure out the rest.
 
If you haven't looked yet, I suggest reading the wiki tutorial on making custom characters as it will cover a lot of what you need to know: https://wiki.srb2.org/wiki/Custom_character_tutorial

But typically, you just need an art program of your choice to create the sprites and SLADE to compile those sprites into a wad format so the game can run them, and a lot of patience. Making that many sprites can take a long time.
