Some of the folders might be hidden, you can just unhide them by following the rules in the OP. Good Luck!

K, I loaded them onto it, but they're not working. I get the DP Sprites in my team editor still :|

EDIT: Nvm I'm trying to load GIfs and they don't work on shoddy apparently. Anyone know where I can get png Pokesho files?

Also do gifs work on shoddy?

Lord Blood · Oct 26th, 2009, 3:45:42 PM

GIFs, as far as I know, don't work. I think the way you can get around to using animated sprites is by using double PNG files. But I don't think Shoddy supports that. Ask bearzly for more help on that. 'Cause as far as I know, it doesn't work.

If you like other sprites better (I think Houndoom G/S sprite rocks) go to the Pokemon you want on Bulbapedia, download the sprite, name it mname of your pokemon (no space) and drag it into fnormal. Then rename it fname of your pokemon and do the same thing. If the pokemon is genderless, you just do mname of your pokemon.

Lord Blood · Oct 30th, 2009, 3:47:27 PM

Yes, I believe that method works as well.

KCchiefs · Oct 31st, 2009, 1:08:32 PM

One problem. I use a Windows XP 2000, and in my Application Settings, I don't have a shoddy battle icon or anything I can drag it to. All the other parts of it work fine, and I have folder options not hidden, but there is no Shoddy icon.

A detail I think is important is that when I go to user folders, I only have All Users, Owner, and Default User. Would that make a difference?

Lord Blood · Oct 31st, 2009, 4:04:43 PM

You should go to the user that you are on. If you are on Admin, then go to Admin, Owner, then go to Owner. Theoretically, you could also go to all users and try it, since it should update for all, but then again, that's in theory. Where did you save the Shoddy Battle Folder for the first question?

KCchiefs · Nov 1st, 2009, 1:48:53 AM

I saved Shoddy Battle into its own folder, coming straight off of My Documents. I saved the sprite folder in said folder along with it.

Synth · Nov 1st, 2009, 7:49:55 PM

I use Windows 7, so what should I do?

Lord Blood · Nov 2nd, 2009, 3:50:22 PM

I would have to suggest that you try both XP and Vista version's procedures, if you find a problem tell me and I'll try my best to fix it.

Synth · Nov 2nd, 2009, 9:09:56 PM

Well I keep trying to download the sprites and it keeps saying "Failed".

Wombat Sky Forme · Nov 2nd, 2009, 10:05:18 PM

Most likely a specific CPU problem, Synth.

So LB, I'm at the point where I have the download, and the existing folders (frontshiny) (frontnormal) etc... so what do I do? Do I drag the download with the long name into the existing folder?

And what program opens the download?

Lord Blood · Nov 2nd, 2009, 10:23:49 PM

WinRar, (maybe WinZip also opens it), opens this HGSS file. You go into your 1.0 folder and drag the two folders you have inside your HGSS file (the Frontshiny and frontnormal), into the 1.0 folder. Then you click replace all and boom you're done.

Wombat Sky Forme · Nov 3rd, 2009, 8:29:15 AM

What? I think I did something wrong.

That's a screenshot of my 1.0 file. I am assuming the four files at the bottom are what was in the HG/SS folder when WinZip unzipped it?

So what do I do? Opening the folders, say "backnormal", gives me a collection of images that are back normal sprites, for some not all Pokemon. I tried dragging one of the files into a folder, but when I looked in the folder, it had the file and then the same pictures.

Clicking on a file gives me this:

So did I screw up or am I being an idiot?

(Sorry if I broke some rules with image size)

Thanks.

Lord Blood · Nov 3rd, 2009, 10:00:18 PM

You screwed up somewhere, but it'll take me a while to figure out what you did wrong. Maybe it was something wrong with the HGSS file. I'll try to figure it out.

Shadow of the Day · Nov 5th, 2009, 3:10:19 AM

i think the reason you don't see all the back sprites is because you've never used that pokemon on shoddybattle
and to get the new sprites try this
extract the frontnormal and frontshiny to your desktop
then drag those files into the 1.0 folder
something should pop up and say DO YOU WANT TO MOVE AND REPLACE? say yes

oh yeah, and ignore those files that are called asdsd89f6s89adfads8ofyds8fsdf

Lord Blood · Nov 5th, 2009, 9:30:20 AM

Ya, try what he's telling. 'Cause I was thinking the same thing.

Kachalski · Nov 5th, 2009, 12:08:42 PM

I assume those long file names are the unique ID's for the servers you have been on. Looks similar to the codes genrated on the ShoddyBattle site, so leave those files alone.

Lord Blood · Nov 5th, 2009, 12:20:59 PM

Ya, don't mess around with them

Are you saying to put the folders on the desktop, then put them back in 1.0? I think I've misunderstood, 'cus that does nothing.

By the way, none of the folders have all the sprites in them

The pictures in the folders are D/P sprites, not Platinum, not HG/SS.

Lord Blood · Nov 8th, 2009, 12:28:35 AM

Ok, just take the Folders in HGSS.zip and drag them into the 1.0 folder, nothing else. Then Replace All. And you get the new sprites.

Stallion · Nov 8th, 2009, 6:48:30 AM

After "yourname" on XP I can't find the Local Settings folder, and I checked "Show hidden folders and files" :(.

EDIT: Went through regedit and fixed it ^_^

Lord Blood · Nov 8th, 2009, 11:06:04 AM

Did you figure out what the problem was though?

Stallion · Nov 10th, 2009, 8:34:25 AM

Hidden folders and files just wouldn't stay even after I pressed the "apply" button lol. So I had to make it permanently stay through other means and it works fine :)

Lord Blood · Nov 10th, 2009, 4:51:42 PM

Define other means, maybe this could help some people?
