changing the default sprite
i'm working on a scratch mod, and i'm wondering how i can change the default sprite. i'm using the source code btw, not just hacking scratch.

Re: changing the default sprite
In the folder where you keep the image file for your mod, make a file called 'default.sprite'. Basically, you make a sprite in Scratch or in your mod that you want to have as the default, and export it as 'default.'

Re: changing the default sprite
yah it didn't work for me, then i just changed it in the project, but as soon as i click new it brings back the old one of the cat, and the one of the cat isn't even in the source code file!

Re: changing the default sprite
create a folder called "Media" then inside that one called "Costumes" and inside that put your default.sprite. Export the sprite from scratch and call it "default". The media folder must be in the same directory as the image
Have a look at some of my games. I made a cool physics game called "Physics Marble Cannon" which is really cool. I let anyone remix any of my projects without permission or credit necessary.

No, you go to the "ScratchSkin" folder and edit the "defaultSpriteCostume.gif" file.
Then go into a System browser (In Scratch), open a workspace, type in
Code:
ScratchFrameMorph readSkinFrom: (FileDirectory default directoryNamed: 'ScratchSkin')
, highlight it, and press "command" and "d" (for mac). For Windows, you do the same thing, except instead of pressing "command" + "d", you right click and select
Code:
do it (d)
Hope this helps!

Re: changing the default sprite
Actually my way works. I did it and it works. It is easiest way and works best.
