It can't be recovered automatically, the bug erased the original sprite data.

Please provide exact steps to reproduce the problem.
I tried changing the palette on the flying armor skill sprite and making other edits to it and nothing broke. You must have done something you're not mentioning.

from dsvedit.

all i did was change the monster for this one and then tried to change the color of the flying armor

Nope, I changed the colors for that sprite just fine without needing to do anything else.

Whatever you're describing with the word "colors" is not colors. You wouldn't get an error about free space if you only edited colors.

that's exactly what happened, I just changed the colors and when I clicked on Apply the error '-'

I see, it does seem there's a bug when trying to save a sprite and there's no free space.

For changing colors though, it's not necessary to save the sprite at all. The GFX editor is separate from the sprite editor, so the color changes were already saved before you hit "Apply" in the sprite editor.

but the sprite disappeared in the game '-'

Indeed. That's the bug when trying to save a sprite and there's no free space I mentioned. I'll fix it for the next version, but for now you can avoid it by just not clicking "apply" in the first place.

from dsvedit.

ok, but in the next version will I have to import the sprite back? because he disappeared and you can't go back

from dsvedit.

I have the backup but I can't import the return because it gives a space error, maybe in the next version I can

Nope. The free space error isn't a bug, it's just telling you you have no free space, so it's impossible for that to work.
Add free space and it should work in the current version.

I saw the README file but I didn't understand almost anything, if I delete things in the game like candles and some enemies I will get the free space

Technically yes, but it will be free space in the wrong overlay, so that won't help you.

so I'll leave it the way it is and not change the colors anymore, thanks for the suport

from dsvedit.

and not change the colors anymore

Colors have nothing to do with this though... you can edit colors without running into the bug at all.

from dsvedit.

allright, thanks
