Creating sprite sheet of 240 images?

Hi friends,

Sorry for polluting the forum lately but i came across a very difficult situation. 

I have 240 images of animation of my character and i want to create an sprite sheet of it using exturepacker. but it doesn’t fit in the 2048 x 2048 sprite sheet. it will fit in 3 sprite sheets.

I have 2 options…

1: increase the sprite sheet size to 8192 x 8192 ( I don’t know if mobile devices will support it?)

2: use TexturePacker’s “Multipack” otption to create multiple sprite sheets of the same character. But since all the animations are of the same character i don’t know how to use multiple sprite sheets of the same character in corona sdk???

Can somebody help please???

PS: my images are 252 x 248

Here’s the documentation on multiple image sheets:

I have it implemented in my project and it works fine.

tip: try to set your limit per image sheet to 1024px in width or height. More modern devices are capable of 2048 but it’s resonable to try limiting to 1024 (will target more devices). You can always split sprite animations into few files as stated in documentation quoted above.

hi, what would be the code for the third image sheet? I really tried but no luck… thank you! I used the multiple image sheet…
