In honor of the new custom content sub-forums I put together a small collection of COs I made.
These are custom objects I made for my level, Shipwrecked. They are animated versions of tiles in Paul (Ripen) Naumowicz' A Beach and a Cave tileset, which are adaptations of original Knytt Stories objects. Therefore you can use them in your Knytt Stories levels if you give credit to egomassive, Ripen, and Nifflas.
I went for a lo-fi approach on these. The animated gifs are only representational of the in game movement. In the zip file you will find 4 png files and a text file containing instructions for the 15 different animations these little guys are capable of. Enjoy.

Nice work, very nice - thanks for sharing! :)
I especially like how the same sprites can have multiple -and sometimes quite different- animations just by applying alternative codes to the same spritesheet. Like the worker can be working, looking back and cheering, and even two cheering workers do it differently.

Very nice Co's but why don't you use the new official CO topic?

Thanks SiamJai. In Shipwrecked I used 58 images to create 90 custom objects. If a frame of animation was going to be used in more than one CO I tried to combine the sprite sheets. If these topics are popular I'll dry to dig out everything I think isn't too level specific. By the way, what software did you make your animated gif with? It takes me quite a while to convert sprite sheets to animations in Gimp. The 4th and 6th animations aren't working properly in your image.
@ Vinterrun: I meant no offense by not posting in the thread you started. I thought this sub-forum was started for essentially the same reasons you started your thread. I don't mind reposting in your thread, but I do like to get feedback on my work. :)

Oops, now that you mention...:oops: For this one, I used Camtasia to record it straight from KS, and then fine-tuned the exported gif in Fireworks. But when it comes to individual sprites, I just reconstruct the gif from the spritesheet in Fireworks.
Also, I remember that LightningEagle posted a Javascript-based spritesheet animator somewhere on the forums earlier that might be handy for things like this. I'll look it up and update this post. (Edit: yep, here it is: spritesheet animator (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=2337.0))
Vinterrun, how about using that topic as a CO directory, with links to already existing CO topics in the first post, in addition to COs posted by people who don't want to make separate posts?
