Editing Guide to spriting (section)

== Required sprites by object category ==

Now to tell you what sprites different types of items need:

=== Mobs ===

*Mob sprites for the most part require four directions.
*Mob sprites require dead sprites.
*If you choose to you can make a laying sprite.
*If making a mob that can wear clothing you can use pixel_y, Pixel_x to shift clothing on when coding the mob.

==== Mobs with Limbs ====
*Humans and human species are composed of limbs - a head, a chest, two arms and two legs.
*The files are in icons/mob/human_parts.dmi for limbs that have a set color, and on icons/mob/human_parts_greyscale.dmi for limbs that can be recolored and begin greyscaled.
*Limbs have 4 dirs, like full icons.
*Limbs are also used as item icons in case of dismemberment.
*Naming is as follows:
**[race]_l/r_arm/leg for arms and legs.
**[race]_chest(_m/f) for the chest (m/f for male/female variants, optional)
**[race]_head(_m/f) for the head (m/f for male/female variants, optional)
*Extra bodyparts like lizard tails go in mutant_bodyparts.dmi

=== Turfs ===

*Floors are in icons/turf/floors.dmi - Check the file for examples.
*Walls are in icons/turf/walls.dmi - Check the file for examples.
*Shuttle walls and floors are in icons/turf/shuttle.dmi - Check the file for examples.
*Space tiles are in icons/turf/space.dmi - Check the file for examples.
*I think these are pretty self explanatory.

=== Objects ===

*Objects sprites are located in the icons/obj folder.
*Items sprites are spread throughout said folder.
*Item sprites for the most part require in-hand sprites. They can be located in the icons/mob/items_lefthand.dmi and icons/mob/items_righthand.dmi section.
*Clothing sprites are located in the icons/obj/clothing folder.
*Clothing sprites on mobs can be found in the icons/mob folder.
*Clothing sprites for the most part require in-hand sprites. They can be located in the icons/mob/items_lefthand.dmi and icons/mob/items_righthand.dmi section.
*Machinery sprites are located icons/obj/machines folder. Although a good amount of them are located in the icons/obj folder.
*Door sprites are located under icons/obj/door folder.
*Normal door sprite require door_closed, door_locked, door_opening, door_deny, door_closing, door_open, door_spark, o_door_opening, o_door_closing, panel_open, welded, and elights. I suggest looking over a door dmi.
*Blast doors only require opening and closing sprites and sprites for when it is open and closed.
