is it possible to run the game with a .sprite file which doesnt use the mirroraction thing? im trying to make my sprites which are smaller than tux and not in the middle because the hitbox wouldnt be where my sprites are. please help

Sprite files contains out of the different actions the creatures have. So a sprite-file contains actions for "walking-left", "walking-right" and so on. The mirror-action is just a short-cut to make sprite-file adding easier and reduce the amount of textures needed. So you don't have to add a "mirror-action", you just can insert additional textures.

i did that but the game kept crashing, i dont know if i did something wrong

You can add a new hitbox for the mirror-actions, so you eventually don't need new textures.

But please don't add (partly) invisible creatures, which already hit you when you're still far away from the visible part.

okay but still, when i turned the other way it was really kind of stupid looking

Game crash? Sounds more like you had unbalanced brackets () in you sprite-file. Maybe check for that.

i checked it, i really didnt see any problems

OK, then where did you place the sprite-file and the textures?

i really cant tell you, check it yourself

oops, forgot to tell you that they are unfinished

It is an unbalanced brackets error. I just have to find out where a bracket is missing.

Line 207. At the action "big-idle-new" you forgot to close the opening bracket of the hitbox

i did it

uh i already fixed it, also there is a line with "imafes" not "images"

I do recommend to not change the original files of SuperTux. I hope that you have kept a back-up of the original sprite-file.

EDIT: And the textures, too, of course.
