Understanding FNF Sprite Structure
Friday Night Funkin sprites are stored as PNG image files within the game’s assets folder. Each character has multiple sprite sheets containing different animations like idle poses, singing directions (left, down, up, right), and special animations. The game reads these sprites through XML files that define frame positions and timing.
Locating Your Game Files
For the downloaded version, navigate to your FNF installation folder and look for the “assets” directory. Inside, you’ll find “shared” and “images” folders containing character sprites. Web versions require different approaches since files aren’t directly accessible.
Basic Sprite Replacement Method
The simplest way involves replacing existing sprite files with your custom ones. Make sure your new sprites match the original dimensions and naming convention exactly. For example, if replacing Boyfriend’s sprites, your file should be named “BOYFRIEND.png” and maintain the same frame layout as the original.
Using FNF Modding Tools
Several community tools make sprite changing easier:
- Friday Night Funkin’ Mod Maker – Drag-and-drop interface for beginners
- Psych Engine – Advanced modding framework with sprite editing features
- Kade Engine – Popular engine modification with enhanced customization options
Creating Custom Sprite Sheets
When making original sprites, organize them in a grid format matching FNF’s structure. Each animation frame should be evenly spaced, and you’ll need to create corresponding XML files that tell the game where each frame begins and ends. Most successful mods use 24fps animation timing.
Testing Your Changes
After replacing sprites, launch the game and check if animations play correctly. Common issues include misaligned frames, incorrect file formats, or missing XML data. Always backup original files before making changes so you can easily revert if needed.
