How do you change egg sprites?

I know it's possible to make custom egg sprites, i've seen it done for easter things, so...

How do I do it? Is it like making an agent? I can't code them, but i could certainly make the sprites at least...

And is it at all possible to assign an egg sprite to a breed?
because that would me so awesome! [heart]

I'm not sure about creating egg sprites, but the installation for some new ones is pretty easy.
All you have to do is go into your images folder, find eggs.c16 and back that up in some way. (I usually rename mine to oldeggs.c16 or move it to another folder.) Then you put the new egg sprites into the images folder and make sure they're named eggs.c16. [nwink]

Hausmouse made an agent to manage multiple sprite sets. I haven't tried it out, but from what I've heard it seems to work.

that might be helpful! :)

I still wonder if it's possible to assign a certain egg sprite to a breed.. I know it's possible to assign them to an egg layer because the c12ds hatchery only has c1 eggs in it... but is it possible with a breed? o.o

If you make that breed have a chemical in their system, and then tailor the egg laying script to that chemical, it might be possible.

The C12DS hatchery eggs aren't real, they're dummy agents. An actual egg is created when you click on the dummy, its sprite predetermined by whatever you selected.
