Solved The minimum for a character to be displayed

Hello, I'm new to OpenBor. I'd like to know the minimum requirements for displaying a character in the background.

I've looked at the wiki, but I can't find this information. I created a character sprite with a limited palette using the pixel art software AsEsprite:

with 1 inactive frame, 2 punches of two frames each, and an 8-frame walking animation.

1 idle01.gif 2 RollerGirlBEU13O2d.gif

1: (idle01.gif) 2: (a gif test of sprite on background)

I just wanted to start a project by displaying only iddle01.gif for all actions (on a blank background), but even with this minimal project, the OpenBor window opens and closes.

I also looked at the blank template provided by Bloodbane, from which I was able to remove the enemy waves, for example. So some modifications work. However, Donovan's sprite is already a bit too advanced for me. I managed to replace it with the one of the girl accompanying him, but it required modifying all the existing sprites (I asked the GPT Chat to do it). If you have any solutions for a very minimalist project, for example, and if I can at least see my sprite displayed, that would really encourage me to continue and create other animations (I also created a background (2) and think for parralax).

Thanks in advance

Hello.

I might need to check but the minimum animations for a playable character are IDLE and basic reaction animations i.e PAIN, FALL dan RISE. Does your character have those animations?



What did the error message say in OpenBorLog.txt?

The minimum is a name, type, positive hitpoints and an idle animation. That's it and all.

Thank you DC,
as Bloobane told me, I looked at the OpenBorLog, given the error message it looks like a problem loading the level . I declared a lot of animations but they all point to the same image. I wanted to do this to add the animations as I go along.
