Homebrew Change size of 32x32 Sprite?

[Ray =D]

Hey!
I want to ask if its possible to scale sprites in DS Homebrews. I want to resize my 32x32 sprite to 16x16. And I'm using libnds.
I hope someone can help me

Maybe using a buffer and doing something like
For (i=0;i

Hmm... I have no gbatek examples Only the libnds examples. But there is a demo which shows scaling. The problem is, it shows scaling with BG's. Is it possible with sprites, too? *Sounds like a noob xD*

 

[LeRodeur]

Well yes the way I told you by using a buffer spite.
Don't really know other way

 

[CoolAs]

Can you tell me what you need this for?

Scaling sprites is something that you can not do with hardware and you can not easily do it with software...

But yeah, the way thatLeRodeur said would be the easiest. (but it does not blend the colours properly)
Although you could use the 3D engine, but if you do that then I can not help you as I have never used that part of the DS properly...

or you could take a look at this http://dev-scene.com/NDS/Tutorials/Captain_Apathy/Tiling

If you wish to use the 3D engine, take a look at relminator's Easy GL2D lib (http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=17417). It's easy enough to use, very tiny and allows you to do a ton of things with sprites. It also comes with examples.

This answer is yes, but the scale function is limited.
Take a look at http://nocash.emubase.de/gbatek.htm#lcdobjoamattributes

with the reg of OBJ Attribute 0 (R/W)
you should enable the Rotation/Scaling Flag
with the reg of OBJ Attribute 1 (R/W)
you should set a number 0~31 for bit 9-13, which determines the 'Scaling Parameters'

for the 'Scaling Parameters', here is the description:
Location of Rotation/Scaling Parameters in OAM
Four 16bit parameters (PA,PB,PC,PD) are required to define a complete group of Rotation/Scaling data. These are spread across OAM as such:

1st Group - PA=07000006, PB=0700000E, PC=07000016, PD=0700001E
2nd Group - PA=07000026, PB=0700002E, PC=07000036, PD=0700003E


You should check the BG scaling for the meanings of PA,PB,PC,PD.
e.g. if PA=0x100, PB=0, PC=0, PD=0x100, the picture shows what it is.
if PA=0x80, PB=0, PC=0, PD=0x80, the size of picture would be half of the original(32x32 -> 16x16)

So, there are only 32 scaling groups, that is what limited.

What about just rescalling image to 16x16 in paint or other program and then load to Your project

 

[iDallin]

On paint copy the sprite , go to resize and pixels, it should say 32 by 32 change that to 16 by 16, I assume this is for the jazz jackrabbit game? Lol appreciate it

 

[iSubaru]

Bite me, Tileset for Jazz Jackrabbit fits into 32x32 and it can be left that way, the Jazz character is diffrent story, in some cases it fits in 32x32 but in some others You must use 64x64 or 64x32 or 32x64 OR cut/resize/scale/whatever-that-breaks-img-awesomeness

No its for 2D-craft ds D: But I dont need it anymore. Still, thank you all for ya help
