These are notes on a collab I did with nicoc1991. The free program usenti is excellent and was used for all of the changes in these notes.
He edited the Gladiator Job sprites for the 5 heroes that are found in the GBA version (FF5 Advance) and asked me to give them colors matching their Crystal Spirits. The goal is to make a new Dark Knight Job sprite set for FF5 romhackers to use.
First I needed to resize the images that Nicoc1991 shared, so they would become 1-to-1 pixel images that can import smoothly into the game using the ff6tools editor.
This was easy to do using usenti. I referenced existing Job sprite assets from FF5, noted their exact image size, and then used the Resize function in usenti on each of the Nicoc images.
The import-able images are exactly 176 by 24 pixels, and have 4 bits of color ( 4bpp = 16 colors).
Usenti has the Stretch option to resize, and if you don’t stretch it will just crop down to the new image dimensions, so make sure to use Stretch.
