How do I edit sprites and textures in ChaosEdit?
This guide will take you through the tools available to edit graphics in ChaosEdit.
Some elements of this guide assumes you have a fresh project based on the full version of Wolfenstein 3D. If not, get started by clicking here.
Navigating the Editor
At the top of the ChaosEdit window is a series of tabs, which let you navigate to each section of the Editor.
The two tabs we will need for this guide are Textures
and Sprites
.
If you haven't already, open ChaosEdit and load your project by clicking the Load All button and navigating to your project files.
Both tabs for editing are nearly identical (just separate to split up Walls and Objects), so we will only need to look at the Sprites tab.
1. The main toolbar, containing everything needed to edit a sprite.
2. The Palette
This is where you select your pen colour for editing the sprite.
3. The Scrollbar
Use this to move between sprites in your project.
4. The Canvas
This is your sprite, ready to edit. There's a preview of the actual file size in the top right hand of the window. Using the tools listed above, you can replace, delete or manually edit your art in this area.
Extras
You will notice that at the top of the Sprites tab there is some extra stuff not present in Textures; you can leave that unchanged.
There is also a button present on both tabs with the text “Toggle HiRes”. This is a feature that requires your mod have engine changes.
