Script for Animated Sprites

[Dimbreath]

There. Files are splitted in this way:

EGGS GEN 1 GEN 2 GEN 3 GEN 4 GEN 5

We'll ignore EGGS folder.

On each GEN folder there are more folders. They're named like this:

Back Back - Female Back - Female - Shiny Back - Shiny Front Front - Female Front - Female - Shiny Front - Shiny

(For GEN 1)

Then in GEN 2 and above we add 4 more folders.

Back - Alternate Formes Back - Alternate Formes Shiny Front - Alternate Formes Front - Alternate Formes Shiny

(I'll do the Alternate Formes manually, so ignore this...)

Inside of those folders are the .gif files.

Then for the files renaming, i just need to remove letters and for the first 0 - 100 Pokemons remove the 0 at the start. For example:

001 = Bulbasaur Remove the first two 0 leaving only "1"

You can download gen 1/2 sprites already there, in the current folders. The only problem is that their background is white, non -transparent, but there exists programs to mass replace their background to fix that problem.

Yeah, but they're not the BW animated ones, they just contain the sprite t hat's shown when the Pokémon is sent out.

If you need to remove numbers in the beginning do that in git bash:

find folder -name "*.gif" -exec bash -c "r=\$(echo {} | sed 's/^0[0]*//'); mv {} \$r" \;

Where folder is the base folder.

[Dimbreath]

It says that mv needs to be a directory.

[coyotte508]

In those cases it's generally useful if you paste the whole output ^^

[coyotte508]

find . -name "*.gif" -exec bash -c "r=\$(echo {} | sed 's/\/0[0]*/\//'); mv {} \$r" \;

It will display error messages for files not starting with 0 but w/e

[Dimbreath]

I can't get it to work. I still get that mv needs to be a directory o.O

mv: when moving multiple files, last argument must be a directory Try 'mv --help' for more information

[coyotte508]

Do you have spaces in your file paths? Too bad @.@

find . -name "*.gif" -exec bash -c "r=\$(echo '{}' | sed 's/\/0[0]*/\//'); mv '{}' \$r" \;

Maybe that'll work

Or move the folder to a path without spaces (none of the upper directories have spaces) and it'll work too.

Close this Issue, i'm making my own script with Qt.
