Homebrew Sprites not coming out right

[MotionControls]

Hello friends

Having a bit of a problem with Grit and sprites. I'm following the tutorial DS Programming 101 by Foxi4. Everything but sprites work just fine. Pretty sure I'm formatting them correctly (Indexed Coloring, No Color Space Information), but it keeps showing in-game as a cluster of pixels.

Result:

Sprite was created by Voliol

What does the .grit file for it look like?

What does the .grit file for it look like?

I guess that's my first issue.

I'm using the grit that comes with Night Fox. I put a .bmp into the BMP folder and run Convert_Sprite_autopal.bat. It spits out an .img and .pal file.

So you are using Night Fox's lib?

Yep.

Yep.

Ok so I've never used Night Fox's lib but does there happen to be examples? Maybe it is because the sprite is super small (8x8?). Possibly an example has something you could learn from. If you still can't get it I'll see what I can find out.

I took a look at a couple of the provided examples. They all used .img and .pal files, but I had a though about formatting. I put the sprite through the Convert_bitmap8.bat. It works!

God I need a duck.

I'm pretty sure that you art was 8x8? So that makes since that the Convert_bitmap8.bat would work.

The original image was 8x8, so I assumed I could just convert to .bmp and put it through Grit.
