# Aseprite community scripts collection



The is a collection of scripts from the Aseprite community, originally collected by [@JJHagger](https://community.aseprite.org/u/JJHaggar/summary) from the [Aseprite forums](https://community.aseprite.org/c/scripts/13).



Aseprite is working on an official database of scripts and extensions (including a store). In the meantime, this is the unofficial home of this collection.



If you have a script that you'd like to contribute, complete the form to [submit a script](https://github.com/projectitis/aseprite-community-script-collection/issues/new?assignees=projectitis&labels=&projects=&template=submit-a-script.md&title=%5BScript%5D+My+script+name).

This script allows automatically exporting of Aseprite files following the DOOM naming conventions. E.g. An image with 3 frames will be exported as POSSA0, POSSB0, POSSC0. Allows setting the sprite angles, mirroring, custom export range and starting letter.

[Aseprite Lottie Export](https://github.com/behreajj/aselottieexport) by [behreandtjeremy](https://community.aseprite.org/u/behreandtjeremy)



Exports a sprite as a [lottie](https://lottiefiles.com/) file. Lotties are animated vector files. This makes a flattened composite of the sprite, then treats each pixel as a rectangle.

## How to install a script



1. Download the script (scripts are files with .lua extension, so if you download them as a .zip file you will need to uncompress them)

2. Open the user script folder 1.1k

    

    ![Open the scripts folder](/images/screenshot-scripts-folder.png)



3. Copy the script in that folder (if you want you can also create folders there for organisation)

4. Restart Aseprite

5. Then you will be able to access to that script from the File > Scripts > YourScriptName menu option

6. You can also create a Keyboard Shortcut for each script that you want from the Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts menu (type “script” in the search box to find them easily)
