READ MORE here for the steps written out: Step 1: Prepping your file with Import 0:17 Step 2: Auto Convert Tool for remapping 1:16 Step 3: Modifying the results on the Remap layer 1:36 Step 1: Prepping your file with Import ----Yes, it does take some setting up first.. *srs face* We'll be using the Import Tool! ----Open FoxEd, make a new Avatar object ----Tabs along the top right display the different areas which need art filled in (small, portraits, specitags) ----Import a legacy avatar to the new format: ----Under Import from: change to Legacy FOX file ----Under Import As, change to 1 and Avatar Object ----Select all the bits/files to import, including Small, Portraits, and Specitags ----Click the …s (ellipses) to open the locations for each file, then specify which #'s to add in (or in this case, by typing all) ----Under Import By, you can choose how you'd like to organize the file (I will click Replace Old Objects since I only need 1 avatar object in the file) Step 2: Auto Convert Tool for remapping ----Now here comes the fast 'n easy part! ----Here are the different tabs, now with art filled in.. doesn't seem quite festive enough for 32bit yet though, does it ----Go to Edit -＞ Upgrade Legacy remapping -＞ Entire Object the option for Current Frame is for 1 particular animation frame, but we want the whole thing to shine~ ----Click… Boom! ----Now all your tabs have been converted to 32bit in all their fully decked out sparkledog festivity Step 3: Modifying the results on the Remap layer ----The kiwis represent different layers in FoxEd, kind of like switching between different powerups for your Kiwi Vision™ (AWWH YEA) ----Ahem. These include drawing mode, transparency, remaps, shadows, and markup layer) ----Disclaimer: No kiwis were harmed in the process of making these buttons - despite being small, they enjoy being poked (but messing with that letter A spells disaster... you might not make it to the end of the alphabet, and you'll never know Y.) The Remap kiwi can be toggled with the tick box, and does different things depending on which layer you're using ----In Draw/Image mode: ----The Remap kiwi untoggled will show you the grayscale underneath, handy for editing. ----It really matters that you use all 50 shades… I mean 256 shades ... of the GrayMatters palette ..to edit the grayscale part, or you can copy it into another image editor to /whip/ your shading into shape ----In Remap mode: ----Untoggling the Remap kiwi gives you a flat area to play with for your remaps, allowing you to easily use the Fill bucket tool, Ctrl K, and pencil tool to edit what's there, or to check your paint job is where you think it is Swapping remaps around ----Slooooowest method (but does come in handy sometimes!): ----Penciling in your remaps while zoomed in.. painstaking, but pixel perfect (good for small area changes) ----Slightly faster method: ----fill bucket (involves a lot of clicking tho) ----Now for what you came for.. the Fastest method? ctrl K: ----Use the eyedropper to select a foreground color with a left click, and the color you want to switch that color too with a right click to make it your background color ----Swap the remaps by pressing ctrl+k (or edit-＞Switch all foreground color to backcolor) ----You can also isolate smaller areas to swap using the selection tool, then pressing ctrl K New Remaps ----You may have noticed there are two new remap types: Wing, and Accent. ----You can add these onto your patches for added glamor and fabulousness! ----We used the ctrl+k method to add new remaps to the digos, such as Wing for their wings, and Accent for jewelry!
