Hi, I've been messing around with some basic stuff in sprite tool lately, and was wondering how to make the following changes to sprites

How do you change what tileset it uses? I have a few custom sprites (cannon shyguy, smb2 pow, needlenose) that use SP3 or SP2 but are supposed to (according to the tilesets that include them) use SP4.

How do you add a HP system so the sprite doesn't die in one hit? The arrbite that I created (http://acmlm.kafuka.org/uploader/get.php?id=50 and http://acmlm.kafuka.org/uploader/get.php?id=51) would make a nice custom miniboss with the ability to take 3 hits.

I had another question or two but if I can think of them I'll add them here. Thanks in advance for any help.

about the first question, I was looking for the same thing, and found out this thread , I hope it helps.

About the latter, I don't know.

Well thanks for that, it wasn't quite what I was looking for but was still helpful. Between that and working around the sprite tool tutorials, I can alter the settings to put graphics for just about anything in SP1 or SP2, but I can't figure out how to switch from that grouping to SP3 and SP4 (or vice versa). Theoretically that shouldn't be terribly hard... if I figure it out I'll update this post

Also, I finally remembered what detail I was looking for for the 3rd question - the extra byte. I know about setting the extra bit for certain sprites, but several have an "extra byte" mentioned and I don't know how to fiddle with that. Specifically, that's what determines what a wild ptooie plant spits and what the egg plant generates as well. This may be part of the same issue, but I couldn't get the YI platform to start at any number other than 4.
