Creating texture packs?

[RN_FADED]

First of all, I've never had any experience with texture packs. I'm going to list some questions that I have and hopefully someone can answer.

1. How do I access sprites and do I need permission to use them?
2. What do I use to change the sprites after #1 is complete?
3. Do I put the sprites into a .zip folder that goes in the resourcepacks folder for terraria when done?
4. Any tips when making a texture pack?

1. you can edit your own using the games files (use a .xnb converter to make them pngs, have to be the same sprite size ) Find the game textures using the find local game files on steam and copying the content file
2. I use GIMP 2.0, its a free image malipulator like photoshop but ms paint or paint.net work
3. if you check the image folder from the game your textures should be in the exact spot in your own folder. So images should be in a folder called images that put into a folder called content. Zip that folder and you need to put a .json file into that zip (zip it frist so when you double click the zip you see the content and the .json)
{
"Name": "Test",
"Author": "Test",
"Description": "Test",
"Version": {
"major": 1, "minor": 0
}
}
Copy this into a notepad and name it pack.json and put it into the zip (edit wit with your name).
Once thats done you can now put it in the resource pack folder
4. Dont make the sprite bigger than the file.

Cat and dog friendly NPC sprites are located with other NPCs in this diirectoryy ... > Images > TownNPCs
Names of cat npc "Cat_(type of the cat)" and for dogs is "Dog_(type of the dog)".
This should help you greatly.

All IDs are on the wiki. At the bottom of the infobox, you'll see a Projectile ID, thats the one you use for pets.
