Sprite Maker

[freestyler]

I have just downloaded the CTP2 unit creater that includes the makespr.exe to make CTP2 sprites.

I'm sure some of you have got this but i just wanted to know can you create the sprites WITHOUT using MS-DOS Prompt?

If you can.....HOW???

That is easy just create a *.bat file. To do this create in the directory were you find the MAKESPR.EXE a new file and rename it to something with extension *.bat. Afterwards open it with a text editor and write into it:

makespr -c 12

This line will create a file called GC012.SPR, now you have only be shure that you have images in the right subdirectory in this case ..\cities\12 and that you have the script file at the right place in this case the file is called Gc012.txt and should be in the directory ..\cities\ with the MAKESPR.EXE and your *.bat file. And at the end you have just double click on your *.bat file. I attach an example. That creates city sprite 12 up to 15.
