Creating Avatars

Rules and Guidelines:

The image file type must be png.
Each frame should fit into an imaginary grid.
It's recommended to keep the frame size under 300x300 pixels.
It's recommended to keep the total image size under 2000x2000 pixels.
Sprites must be facing the right.
The character's feet should touch the bottom of the frame.
The character should be centered on the horizontal axis.
The first 5 rows are preset animations: idle, run, sit, stand, jump
After the 5 preset animations, you can create custom animations on the following rows.
You can override certain animations by setting the custom name appropriately. (hug, dance, attack, fart)

This sprite is 8x9 (grid lines are not saved in the final image)

This sprite is 24x24 and has a custom animation "sleep" (grid lines are not saved in the final image)

Navigate to your data folder by clicking the "Open Folder" button inside Stream Avatars.

Drop your avatar .png spritesheet into the avatars folder.

Click the "Save and Reload" button.

Change the width and height to be the correct frame sizes, in this case 24x24, and then click "Apply". Now you can scroll down the animation list to edit the custom animation for custom1.

Change the custom animation name to be "sleep", this will allow users to type !sleep to play it.

I also enabled the Animation Loops toggle in "Advanced", and set the number of loops to be over 60 so that the animation loops until another command is issued.

Creating Color Palettes

Select your avatar and then click the Palette editor button.

Create the "Main Palette". You do this by adding the color boxes and selecting the primary colors of your avatar. There is an eyedropper tool to assist in acquiring these colors.

Create a new Palette by entering a name and clicking "Create".
You can now adjust the colors to swap correctly.
Optionally, you can have gears use the same palette swap.
