Hotline Miami 2 Level Editor Tutorial Part 6 - Sprite Modding

This episode we finally cover mods! Want new faces, enemies, guns, or whatever? This is how you do it!
Wiki: hotlinemiami.wikia.com/wiki/Le...
WAD: github.com/TcT2k/HLMWadExplor...
Hello everyone! The Hotline Miami level editor has been out for a long while now, yet no one ever made any video tutorials explaining how it works. It still can be very confusing to new players, and there's tons of hidden tricks and work-arounds that even experienced player may not know about. These guides aim to cover every aspect of the editor, from level design to mods to entire custom campaigns!
I'm your host, Rob Salmon, creator of A real Human Bean, 9 Lives, Berlin Blitz and more! Joining me is my co-host Matt, aka mvfolevh; creator of Requiem and a number of awesome Hotline Miami 1 remakes. Our combined knowledge of the editor should be enough to teach you every facet of the system!
If you have any questions, or suggestions on what to cover/ change, let us know!

    When i saw jacket's sprites i said to myself "THANK GOD!" because i wanted to edit the masks. I was scared that there would be lots of sprites of jacket doing each animation with a different mask. But instead all that they do is make these sprites of jacket unmasked and then add the mask wich are only one sprite.

    I just came back to this to edit a little more! Knowing how to install stuff, fix possible problems. I made what I think is a better sprite for Tony's mask for Jacket, since I thought the original one looked to weird. Thanks for the help, as allways!

    I'm working on my own sprites for a custom campaign I'm trying to make, your guys' tutorials has been very helpful. One thing I noticed about Jacket's sprite sheet is that, compared to the other player characters as far as I can tell, his sprites are a bit messier. A number of his sprites, like the ground execution or the drill animations, is all over the place which makes it harder to make a custom animation. might scrap that idea anyway, dunno if I would even be able to animate it right

    Patchwads are prioritized in reverse alphabetical order. Only one sheet replacement can be used. So the prisoners sheet in zebra.patchwad would be used and the prisoner's sheet in apple.patchwad would be ignored. To have both the mafia to prisoners and your changes, you'd need to combine them to a single sheet

    Hey question, How do you actually make the change on the files in WAD explorer? I downloaded gimp and extracted and messed around with a face sprite, but what do you do to actually make the change in the explorer? So far I do a whole change on the sprite in GIMP but then nothing happens on the actual file. Like around 27:50 you completed the changes on Pardo's face, and then suddenly you're back on the WAD explorer and the changes are there. That doesn't happen when I do it. Am I supposed to export or something when I'm done changing the sprite?

It's as if the positions of the sprite have been changed, and as I walk I see the player's legs next to two more forward. And when I do executions, the character is placed a little to the side and not on top of the enemy. Thanks for reading this, I would like to be able to find an explanation or solution to this. PS: I'm editing the png of the cop, Pardo.

    If it isn't too much to ask, for both Rob and others that have more knowledge about spriting, I've ran into an issue. I have an idea for a female character with the playstyle of The Writer, something similar to the MA Amy Reskin for The Hammer: www.reddit.com/r/HotlineMiami/comments/8mi60i/midnight_animal_amy_replaces_hammerin/ I'm not too sure on how this can be done. If anyone could help me out in anyway I'd be beyond appreciative.
