The old sprite repository

[Nabski]

It's really annoying that we have a place where unused sprites are supposed to go, but only things that are fully removed end up there. Things that are "updated" don't make the cut, so if you want to see old clothing or the 4x back iteration of medikits because they've been resprited AGAIN you have to go poking at the changelog for that .dmi file.

Is it too much to ask that if you change sprites you change that repo as well? (yes)
Could I take up this torch and do it myself if it is so important to me? (yes but I ain't gunna)

Man i can just roll the github URL timestamping all the way to 2014 to download old sprites, its really not a big deal to store them especially when current spriter community doesn't pay any regard to honor them for on brand, bright plastic and tacky corporate replacements.

If you want to see some sprite soul, it's also on the wiki! The images get updated instead of deleted, so you can see all past versions of a file.

I like that we went back to the body of the box being pink, and that's a nice trip down memory lane on the wiki part, but it's not searchable the way scrubby or dmi files are, which makes it really difficult to use for projects. Some of this is just me being extra annoyed that I was up to something and then the floors changed so I have to go through an extra step to make sure I had pulled everything and maybe grab the new ones then color adjust them so that they are right. I had created a bunch of extra floor damage sections for it that I was considering pushing back up (but never would because I hate github). I'm just rambling.

This project is never going anywhere.

do it yourself then

No, the person needlessly updating the sprite with their terrible new version should have to.

They don't have to, because GIT ALREADY KEEPS THE VERSION HISTORY, THATS WHAT ITS FOR

that this guy is too fucking lazy to go back and pull old sprites has nothing to do with us. We already keep the historical record of every change.
