Title: SPRITE vs. IMAGE ?
Post by: Serious.Ray on March 20, 2012, 01:10:09 AM

Hey there!
Since I'm attempting to write a small management tool for the items list (with Java), I'd really like to know what the difference between the attributes/variables SPRITE and IMAGE is, if there is any. Which one should be used by the tool to write the items.items file, if they are identical? IMAGE is apparently not documented and only used in the WME 3D demo.

They are equivalent, the engine will read either. But since the documentation mentions SPRITE, that one should be preferred when auto-generating files.
