LPC Character Generator

hello and thanks for this tool, but it seems that i cant export any characters to me pc. help please

hi,

its possible custom body, to create another character, or exist project in github, to contribute or custom code.

regards.

thanks

This tool is awesome. It has saved me so much time. Thank you.

One thing I have noticed, when using the die animation the goblins head disapears. 

I'm looking forward to any future updates.

also meant to ask if this can be exported to RPG maker MZ? thnx!

this is an awesome lil tool you've made here! i was jus curious tho as to how you change the direction the sprite is facing? also does it have other animations like dying hurt etc.? 

Can it use  to generate more assets in Stable Diffusion or ComfyUI? Just like Krita, it is even more well-known after supporting AI painting

is it possible to add custom face by loading an image from disk?

Olá, primeiramente parabéns pelo projeto, ele é incrível.

Gostaria de saber se vocês implementarão animações para o personagem correndo?

E estou tendo um problema para exportar os sprites...

Quando clico para exportar, simplesmente não salva nada, nenhum tipo de arquivo é gerado. 

Hello,

I'm trying to run the program on windows 11, but I can't open the application. The error message says it's missing some .dll files

hello, wow, you program is awesome, thank you! I want to maybe use the bits randomly is there a table of compatibility? so, like having a different head on a human? anyway, i really am looking for an owl to use in my game, but can't find one, any chance of that being included? also, i saw something super similarthat was going to be an addon in godot....

How do I set the program to always output large images??? When I was adjusting my weapon to a sword, the output turned into a bunch of bits and pieces, which didn't work

Hello Pflat,

Your work is amazing. Just created an account to tell you that and to ask a question.

It seems some animations cannot be exported. E.g. there's a whip animation, and I can see that it works in the UI by pressing space. The whip anim is special, and it's not exported. In fact, we cannot build any character with special animations (read as: I might be wrong, but i haven't found a way).

In an attempt to find a way, when looking at the *.export files, the animations are referenced by some string-ID that appears to be hard-coded in the source. I.e. "ISL_UP_0" likely stands for the islash animation.  As such it is hard for me to figure out whether there is a corresponding string-ID for the character_large_whip.anim that I can use to set up my .export file, without decompiling the whole app. 

For what it's worth, I tried my luck and included the following part in my export:

{
        "name": "whip",
        "suffix": "whip",
        "type": "single",
        "frames":
        [
            [ "LWP_UP_0", "LWP_UP_1", "LWP_UP_2", "LWP_UP_3", "LWP_UP_4", "LWP_UP_5", "LWP_UP_6", "LWP_UP_7" ],
            [ "LWP_LF_0", "LWP_LF_1", "LWP_LF_2", "LWP_LF_3", "LWP_LF_4", "LWP_LF_5", "LWP_LF_6", "LWP_LF_7" ],
            [ "LWP_DN_0", "LWP_DN_1", "LWP_DN_2", "LWP_DN_3", "LWP_DN_4", "LWP_DN_5", "LWP_DN_6", "LWP_DN_7" ],
            [ "LWP_RI_0", "LWP_RI_1", "LWP_RI_2", "LWP_RI_3", "LWP_RI_4", "LWP_RI_5", "LWP_RI_6", "LWP_RI_7" ]
        ]
    },

But that just crashes the application on startup, because I totally made up that "LWP_..." part and it probably doesn't exist.

So my question is: If such a string-ID exists, as a temporary workaround, I would greatly appreciate it if you tell me so. 

As a long-term fix, maybe you have any ideas on how we could solve the export of special animations generally?

Kind Regards,TS

I see when exporting large weapons it splits the image into different animations. Is there a way to export all images like that without having to have a big weapon?

This tool wil help me a lot with my game project development and will provided the much need assets for my character generation. I have been creating my characters from scratch and its really time consuming. For some characters created from scratch can be useful, but for the majority of the sprites I will need, this generator will be better and save me time. I will credit everyone involved in my character asset creations and will make sure to include their attribution in the end game credits of my final release. Thank you again for providing this tool. You all are very appreciated! 

Hello I'm in a 7th grade class and am curious how did you get interested in this?

This is awesome. Is the source code available somewhere? 

Operating System: Linux Mint 21.3                 

          Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-97-generic

    Architecture: x86-64

i get the errors that looks like i need a different compiler version or something similar on the appimage (usually that means "this will not work on this version number of your linux) as well as something about missing libflac on the standard download executable (im not trying to troll, just feedback , i know linux has become a mess where you need to hunt after and keep older versions around) fyi ... looking good tho i kinda wanted it

Hi, I recently exported my first character, and ran into 2 issues

1. Sometimes the animations would post in seperate files and sometimes they'd export in one singular png

2. WHERE IS THE WEAPON IN THE THRUST ANIMATION? the slash one works just fine, but the thrust... not so much. When I export it, the arms are doing something, but no weapon in sight.

I'm using windows, which I've heard causes a couple issues. Any clue what's going on?

Hi big guy, can you add some guns to the arsenal?

Just downloaded and testing, it doesnt save or export anything, including credits txt files. Besides no file format can be seletected while exporting, only .char is shown when saving (without any results).

Hello, is there a way to change the language? I don't quite understand English but I really like this software. Thank you/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

Hi pflat - when creating a character with a staff, it only exports the "_thrust" animation, not the whole "_universal" sheet - let me know if I'm missing something!

Hi,

Looks neat. Cant get it to export to png though. Nothing happens. Win 10.

Could you add settings to change the extension of the sprites like "character_idle". So we can't change for example this sprite in "character_stay". ?

Also it will be so nice if we can't setup the frame directions. like first line of frame = up / second line = left, etc.. ?

You're doing an awesome work ! My project is growing thanks to your work!

Why does the mainhand weapon sometimes switch hands? Usually when walking right.

Nice update! Will it ever have character running animation?

I'm having some problems with the cloak of this tool

Found that it would have layer occlusion issues whether placed in front of or behind the character

I want to know how everyone solved it

Hey pflat!

Great tool. I thank you very much for this. For version 0.5 I see that there's an issue where you save .char with shadow, but after you close the generator and reopen it and load the .char, it doesn't load the shadow as well.

Can we also get some option to maybe directly split the spritesheet by sections? For some characters it splits it directly, but for simpler ones without weapons it just creates _universal.png

I'd also like to see next/previous buttons to work with dropdown, so I can easily toggle between different styles without first trying to expand dropdown. Or if the app would remember that dropdown is focused, so I could use arrow up / down to switch items within this dropdown.

I like the tool very much, just wanted to provide potential issues I've encountered.
Thanks

Thanks a ton for this!

I was wondering a few things:

1. A suggestion - Any chance you can add a counter that shows the actual H frames and V frames so we can just put that into the engine instead of manually doing so?

2. Another suggestion -  A "Randomize" button would be fantastic! Can make it great to get a bunch of random results that way.

3. Last Suggestion - Instead of clicking the arrows multiple times to find the one you're looking for, any chance that the results are divided into sections, or at least see the names from a menu or something? Similar to how the online editor works. For example if I'm looking for a specific one, I may have to click the arrows a lot of times before I find it.

4. More of a bug - it seems like the export doesn't actually save to the destination you pick, but rather it outputs to the directory above it or something.

But again, just suggestions, really appreciate this one!
