So, from this thread, I was surprised to see that it's not common knowledge how to exactly determine proper offsets other than tweaking and testing. Or maybe it's just a matter that anyone who understands how to isn't bothering to explain it.
There is an old tutorial on the wiki, but many, many aspects of it are either inaccurate or missing information. Plus, no one uses the wiki for anything but Lua reference anyways. (because of its shortcomings, which are caused by the fact that no one uses it. Unfortunate.)
These are my personal methods using windows xp's paint. Other methods may be more suitable for you, but hopefully the information provided here will be useful to you in getting started. Without further ado, the guides.
If you have any troubles following this guide, or have suggestions for its improvement, feel free to post. If I don't notice the reply, you can PM me if you want. These guides can be redistributed for any helpful purpose.
Attached below are the sprites I used in these guides, so if you want to recreate the steps with the same source material to verify that you're following it correctly, or something like that, you'll be able to do so. Please don't use these sprites for your own released mods, though.
