Ran into a problem while making sprites

So I had been working on a few sprites for a couple of days, and as I was done with the adult male sprites of my breed, I thought: Let's test 'em out in DS. So I imported all 24 bit BMP files in the spritebuilder tool and made a few adjustments, nothing seemed wrong. But as you can see up here, only the sprites of the heads are showing up properly in-game, while the rest of the sprites don't. Yet do they look fine when I open them in the spritebuilder.

I made all sprites the same way, so I don't know where I went wrong with the body, arm, leg and tail sprites. :S

Sorry about the large size of the image! :$

Double-check that the rest of the sprites are in the folder. It looks like the issue that a lot of people have with the CFE egg agents - the sprites for the breeds aren't included.

I moved them from my project folder to the Images folder of DS again. Now the head sprites seem bugged too. :o

Perhaps it is rainbow spew or something?

This looks like green spew to me.

Did you start with a copy of an existing breed's sprites and start replacing the frames, or just paste your frames into a brand new file? I've found that any time I do the latter it results in green spew.

Thanks! That explains a lot, as I used the 'Import All' function that was included with the spritebuilder.

I'll update when I'm done studying for my maths exam. ^^

Update:


They're looking a lot better than I expected them to. :D

I opened up a ChiChi head sprite as you stated on your website, hit save, opened up my sprites and saved those too.

Panda Norns! Oh my giddy gosh, they're freaking adorable. :D I want them. Now.

I've started working on the adult female after fixing a few body data issues and some sprites that weren't cleaned up well enough in my opinion. I would like to release them as some sort of beta if any of you are interested. (As soon as I am done with the female, that is.) That way I can receive your feedback and make a few more edits before I shrink down the sprites for the baby and adolescent ages. ^^
