*NOT FREE*Music making program. It's great for creating MIDIs and all sorts of other music, but it's not free.

Also, just tested Wally and it can run perfectly without any extra measures (compatibility mode, virtual machine, etc.) on Windows 10

I ran into this just yesterday.

Outworldz: Free textures

http://www.outworldz.com/cgi/free-seamless-textures.plx

A large repository of textures. Many of the textures are seamless. Many of the textures are also public domain (but not all).

If you don't like manually cropping out sprite after sprite after sprite from a sprite sheet, this tool has come in handy for me countless times. Highly recommend.

WHOA.
Getting that right now.
Cropping spritesheets is the worst.
Now all we need is a program that exports each frame of a certain character from a wad automatically so you don't have to do it manually. :D

Wintex 3.4 can do it, but it doesn't work in newer versions of Windows.

All you had to do was click the extract button, and it would extract all resources from a wad and store them in its directories.

If you mean sprites you could filter using Slade with the * wildcard character and then right click -> Gfx -> Export as PNG



If you mean a font definition (e.g., DBIGFONT), I think there was something made for that, let me know and I'll look for it.

EDIT: Thanks Boingo and Replica -- I forgot he probably wanted pngs!

Remember to convert the pngs from Indexed color to RGB in your favorite image editor if needed (GIMP, etc.)

Oooh, I never knew that! Thanks. I'm working on a video called "Chex Quest in Real Life" and I need sprites for all the flemoids and their rotations.

I assume you would want to convert them to BMP or PNG first, in order to have them in a form editable in a paint program.

Replica

Boingo's right. I think that exports .Imp files, no? You want to go down to graphics (gfx) at the bottom, then click on "Export as PNG", which is at the bottom of the new drop box.
I know what you're thinking. No, I don't like peanut butter.

If I had to choose between the real world or the Chex Quest Fan forums; I'd choose the Chex Quest fan forums.

Good point guys, I updated my post.

I just ran across a tutorial on how to draw slime.

It looks very appropriate for Chex Quest.
