    GMS2 Image Editor Palette

    I think the image editor in GMS2 is lacking in palette functionality. If anyone here has used the program Aseprite you will understand the huge different in palette behavior between the two programs. It is very clunky to change the palette and I think there should be an update to this feature.

     GM7 Sprite Editor

    When I started using Game Maker, I came up with a good method for creating seamless textures with the sprite editor for my 3D projects. I would stretch it to 300% then paste the old sized image back in rows of 3 so I could use the blur feature to smoothly merge the borders of the image and then...

    GameMaker [FEATURE REQUEST] Allow GML-access to sprite image layers

    Feature Request: Being able to toggle the visibility or adjust the alpha of a particular layer of a sprite-image through GML code would be very beneficial. Note that I'm not referring to a room layer, rather the layers that you can use in the GM Studio 2 Sprite Editor. Use-case: Sprite image...

    Legacy GM Sprite editor keyboard shortcuts not working on low end pc

    So I'm developing my game on a low end pc, and I've had no issues so far except for this. Everytime I make a keyboard shortcut, such as CTRL+Z or something as simple as pressing "DEL", they never do anything on the first attempt and hardly ever work. This worked on my decent-ish pc, but for some...

    Question - IDE Image editor question

    Hello, as the title says, I have a question about the image editor. In the drop down menu at the top of the screen I can find options to mirror or flip the current frame, but rotate only works on all frames. How do I rotate a single frame of a sprite? Also, what does IDE mean?

    Can I edit multiple frames of a sprite at once?

    I decided to make a small adjustment to my main character sprite but editing every frame one by one seem daunting and probably inaccurate so is there a way to edit multiple (or all) frames at once? I'm a complete noob at this so I apologize if its a dumb question :)

    Windows Layers don't work properly in the sprite editor?

    I wanted to create a character animation using separate layers for front arm, front leg, back arm, back leg, etc. However, when I create a new frame the images start switching themselves to other layers and it gets extremely glitchy. Has anyone else had this problems/found a way to get around it?

     "Selections automatically become brushes" is bothersome. (+ Other Sprite Editor Feedback)

    Using the copy command after making a selection with the wand tool (or the other selection tools) doesn't need to make a custom brush by default; it certainly doesn't do that in any other graphics editor I've used. A more sensible route would be to map what you have going on to: "right click on...

     Sprite editing behavior is strange.

    I wrote a bug report on this because it took a while to figure out the cause of the problem, but now that I know what's going on it looks more like a strange design choice. In the menu for a sprite, there's an icon under "Image:" and "Size:", right next to the width and height of the sprite...

     Sprite Origin doesn't change after rotating sprite

    Perhaps this has also been addressed in next release, but wanted to mention it. After creating sprites, Middle-Center was selected. Then sprite was rotated. The Middle-Center did not change, as expected. Seems that the desired behavior would be for this to update after rotating the sprite...

     Collision Masks, Sprites, Image Editor

    Imported a project from 1.4. Built, ran the game without needing to change anything, but noticed some collisions looked funny (collisions registering without the sprites touching). All sprites are 32x32. So I opened up the sprites in the editor to look at the collision masks.... then noticed...

    Question - IDE Import from strip and removing background?

    Hello! In GMS 1.x we can import an animated sprite from a strip, and also remove the background color at the same time, like this: Is this option still available in GMS 2? If yes, where is it? Otherwise, adding that feature back would be very useful and handy, as it was on 1.x. Thanks. Dani

    Sprite animation - interval between frames

    Dear community, I want to create a sprite animation where the duration between each frame is different. For instance, in the Idle animation, I want the first frame to show for 2 seconds - then the second frame to show for 1/10 second - and then loop back to the first frame. Game runs at 60 FPS...
