in regards to the reply to my previous message about the "ugly sprite"

i was using George Bain's Ch. 4 (sprite collision) tutorial, example
4-bounding boxes (restore).  I tried replacing George's sprites with my
sprites, and that's when the sprites were messed up.  actually, i moved
them around a bit and player 2 is fine, but player 1 is cut off at the
top.  and before anyone says its the code's fault, i should say that i
modified it to use 2 hex addresses.  the cluts are in free vram space,
BUT the problem is that some spots that i move the sprite to in timtool
kind of mutilate it while others semi-mutilate it.  WHERE IN TIM TOOL AM
I SUPPOSE TO MOVE THE TIMS?!  ( i know not to put them in the green or
brown areas.  for some reason it changes the sprite when i move it to
different areas in the light blue FREE areas in tim tool.  i guess the
latter questions is giving me the most trouble.

thank you,


Omar
