Anim8 newGrid() border parameter

[tehryanx]

I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong here, but maybe someone could help me figure it out.

find my main.lua and love.lua here: http://www.hastebin.com/liwuxupomo.lua
and the tileset i'm using here: https://love2d.org/imgmirrur/dDSdTF7.png

When I set up my grid in player.load() using 0 as the border, everything works fine. I can adjust player.animations.tilesetRow to pick any of the 5 guys in the tileset. The problem is that there is a 1 pixel border surrounding them. When I set border to 1, the frame is offset by 1 pixel for every row I've moved on x or y. Am I using the border parameter wrong?

I don't think Anim8 works with love 0.9.1, try using [wiki]AnAL[/wiki] instead.

That is incorrect. Anim8 works just fine in the latests LÖVE. Besides, AnAL can't handle borders around frames at all, so it's really inadecuate for this task.

Yes.

The "border" property goes "on the outside" of the frames, not "on the inside". It seems that your frames are smaller than what you say they are (border is not "part of each frame", is "in addition to the frame dimensions"). Try making your frames 2 pixel smaller (width and height) and add a 1 px border around them. The planes demo uses the border quite a lot.

To clarify, given your image, I would use this grid:

Code: Select all

local g = anim8.newGrid(21, 21, 690, 690, 0, 0, 1)

You are probably using 22 or 23 on your frameWidth and height, and that's why you get weird things when you add borders.

BTW I can't see your code - the link to hastebin you wrote seems empty. I had to deduce what was happening by what you said. I recommend using uploading a .love file to the forum instead, you will get better answers.
