Photoshop can split it into individual files but I don't know of software that makes sheets.

Here's the process:
- Open .gif file in photoshop
- Install this script
- go to File -> Scripts -> Sprite Sheet Exporter

Enjoy

I find the best way to be to take screenshots of each frame. It'll take a couple hours to get all of them, and you need to get the timing exactly right.

Last time, I outsourced it.

Why isn't this in comic sans?

So you are trying to get the individual frames all into one giant picture right?

How much space would you want in between each frame in pixels?

I think that I could do this for you.

0px, going to be blitted onto the screen (selectively cropped by the application with the crop constantly moving, thus animating it).

It made all !0 frames red o.O Photoshop can do that as well, curious if I can find an AppleScript or the likes to combine all the images into a singular image.

Is this kind of what you wanted?

I made that with some pretty unorthodox methods using Keynote and Preview

I'm being serious here!

[Renegade]

How about combining something like this to split up the gif into it's separate frames and then stitch them together. That should be pretty easy!

Photoshop splits each frame into a layer, so I guess you could then create a Photoshop script that takes each layer and shifts it to the right? Just look into the scripting docs (inside the photoshop directory)

Hey. Hey guys. Guys. Hey. Yea. That script I posted up there does just that. Photoshop automatically splits .GIF files into layers and that script will make a 0px spaced sprite sheet for you. http://d.pr/i/PCZV

I love how everyone always skips over the right answer. xD

lol, because I read it on my iPod and forgot to try it XD I'll have to load it and see if I can set it to 4x3 so there is no whitespace.

You know you could have loaded it into photoshop and not needed to take screen shots? All the frames are inside of the image. If you don't have photoshop, GIMP probably would have done the same.

I'm totally putting this as an easter egg in the rsps client update I'm going to release soon.
