rotatesprite displays tiles onscreen. This command is only allowed during certain events.
<x> X coordinate, ranged 0-320
<y> Y coordinate, ranged 0-200
<z> is the zoom. Normal zoom is 65536. (ex: 131072 is zoomed in 2X and 32768 is zoomed out 2X)
<ang> is the angle (0 is normal).
<tilenum> is the tile number.
<shade> is 0 normally but can be any standard shade up to 31 or 63.
<pal> can be from 0-255.
<orientation> translucency, masking, etc...
<alpha> translucence, 0-255
<x1>, <y1>, <x2>, and <y2> are boundaries on the screen that define where the tile may be drawn. If you want to draw a menu, use orientation bit 8, and the boundaries 0 0 xdim-1 ydim-1
as shown in example #2. If you want to draw a weapon, do not use bit 8 and use boundaries windowx1 windowy1 windowx2 windowy2
, as shown in example #1. The difference is that xdim and ydim stay constant, while the other four shrink depending on the player's screen size.

This example displays the loading screen with 90% translucence as a kind of "Please Wait" sign:

Note: This command is similar to the deprecated myospal and myospalx commands, but with much more control.
