Using XWE, you must add your entries to a new WAD. What you wrote in Notepad should be placed in the S_SKIN lump. Sprite entries follow a special numbering format: for example: PLAYA2A8

PLAY indicates the name of the set of sprites. This can be anything as long as all sprite lumps for your skin have the same name.

A2 indicates that the sprite lump is for the Standing animation, facing northwest.

A8 indicates that the sprite lump is for the Standing animation, facing northeast.


I advice that you use a copy one of the game's default player skins (eg. sonic.plr) and use that as a reference for the skin you are making. The article that FuriousFox posted will have all the animations indexed in a table for convenience, along with many other references that will aid in your skin creation.

Good luck!
