Better Slicer

Better Slicer is a handy Aseprite script for creating slices in large number with ease

Main features

+ Creating Slices Automatically 

+ Creating a Grid of slices based on Grid size

+ Creating a Grid of slices based on the number of columns and rows

 and also:

+ Naming and coloring slices 

+ Works alongside SLICE MANAGER - another script I made for managing large amounts of slices. You can rename, recolor, delete, export ... multiple slices at once

Check it out here (Under development) --> ngndang/Slice-Manager

Changelog:

+ v1.0: Initial release

How to use

There are three modes:

Automatic mode

1.  Just select the mode, hit Slice, and let my script do the rest!

2.  Admire your artwork

NOTE:

+ This function is still under development and there still bugs to fix (see below)

+ The script (currently) will have to delete all current slices on the canvas

+ It will only create slices for your active/selected layer and frame.

+ Make sure your sprites are not connected/next to each other, or it will select the whole bunch 

Again, I'm still working on improving this feature for the future, so stay tuned ^^

Grid by Cell Size mode

1. Select an rectangular area with selection tool

2. Choose a size for the slice

3. Hit Slice

Grid by Count mode

1. Select an rectangular area with selection tool

2. Put in the number of slices in a row and in a column

3. Hit Slice

Other information

+ The naming format is: name_number, where number is the order of the sprite on the grid

+ This script works fine on the latest 3.0 beta, I am unsure about way older versions 

+ I work on Windows and I have not tested on Mac or Linux, but it should work  

Reported Bugs

- Auto mode sometimes doesn't work at all, but works for other files or copying sprite to another file:
---> Check if your sprite have any false pixel (pixel outside of the canvas), you can find them by holding Ctrl and selecting your layer, and then erase those pixels.

- Auto mode doesn't produce the best result (The slices don't wrap tightly around sprites) --> Try using eraser tool and sweep through the blank space that the slices tried to border. This also goes with cases when there's a gap but it stills merges the whole thing
