Just a couple questions....

First, when you wrote:

The important bit
When using 64px images, the first image in the sprite sheet has position values of 0, 0, the next one 0, -64, then 0, -192, then 0, -256, and so on in multiples of 64.

Shouldn't it be:

The important bit
When using 64px images, the first image in the sprite sheet has position values of 0, 0, the next one 0, -64, then 0, -128, then 0, -192, and so on in multiples of 64.

Second Question....

How does xenforo know which reaction to replace, is it based on Title?



If the default "WOW" is:

• title: Wow
• display order: 400
• url: sprite_sheet_emojione.png
• Sprite position: -96

And I wanted to replace the image, which fields need to stay the same for the software to recognize that it is replacing the WOW image?

For example, can I use this is the new WOW is 5th on my list?

• Title: WOW
• display order: 500
• url: my_reactions.png
• Sprite position: -128

Thanks.

The sprite position values denote which image is used from the sprite sheet.

The sprite position values denote which image is used from the sprite sheet.

So if the WOW image is currently 4th on the default sprite sheet, and I want to replace that image with a new one, then my sprite sheet needs to have my new WOW image also in the 4th position? Is that what you're saying?

Thanks.

Or alter the sprite values to a different image on the sprite sheet.

I can't find any info about a cache for this and I don't see anything that seems applicable under /admin.php?tools/rebuild.

I uploaded a custom sprite sheet and if I give it a unique name it works, but if I name it the same as the default one, and rename the default one first, it doesn't seem to read the new one.

I'm giving it the default name so that I don't have to change the "Image replacement URL" for all the other ones. And I'm trying to use a single sprite sheet since that's the whole point of sprite sheets I think. But they don't seem affected by renaming the default sprite sheet either. They all seem to be cached.

Edit: I can verify this by unchecking "Enable CSS sprite mode with the following parameters", and it shows the whole (old) sprite.

Not sure if this is related, but when I "open image in new tab" the URL shows as data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 and the image doesn't display.
