The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

As I understand, Lendrick does not want one base sprite to match them all , but simply any completely animated base sprites, each with some fitting clothes, heads and other items. The idea is not to recreate the existing units with this sprite builder, but to automate frankensteining of new units. ...

I did.

That said, I tend to ramble, so it's easy to miss.

I don't know where you're going to get these frames, though. Wesnoth isn't modular when it comes to sprites. I doubt people will make these out of scratch, and the frankenpack already fills much of this new application's niche. I was hoping that someone might be interested in me paying them to do i...

Just by way of explanation: The images I'm currently using in the sprite editor are just PNG templates with a transparent background. There's no constraint as to what frames are included on the image, provided that the images line up so that they stack correctly. The sprite that's there right now de...

Indeed - we don't work from bases, for the most part. We definitely don't animate them. Sure you do. You don't have walk animations, but there are idle animations, attack animations, etc. Besides, even if you're working with stills, there are still multiple frames for each direction. As for not wor...

Hey folks :) I've recently been working on putting together an online, web-based, pure html+javascript sprite builder. You can check it out here: http://test.opengameart.org/spritebuilder/ Note that the selections are currently very limited because I'm still in the process of coding and testing. How...

So I've been poking and prodding at this song for a while, and it's starting to come together into something I like. I imagine I'll be revising it more. Right now, it's too short and set up to loop (sorry for the abrupt ending) but I think it sounds good so far. http://opengameart.org/content/the-ad...

I've been asked to post a quick clarification: The Wesnoth development team is in no way involved in the selection of an artist to work on these commissions. In this case, it's entirely up to the anonymous donor. I apologize for any confusion over this.

Peace,
Bart

Greets! As some of you may already know, I'm the founder of OpenGameArt.org , a site that exists to support FOSS game projects by creating high quality, Free (as in speech) art. I was recently contacted by a member of the Wesnoth community (who wishes to remain anonymous) who would like to donate mo...

Curses, I fell for your devious trap!

I just read tvtropes for an hour. I should know better.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if the works he did are GPLed, then the character and costume designs contained therein ought to be fair game, provided we GPL any derivatives. Right?

No dice on Johann, I'm afraid. He doesn't feel comfortable charging, since he initially volunteered to do the opening sequence. I'll poke around and see if I can find someone who can work in a similar style. I'm open to suggestions.

wow.. thanks a lot, that's great, esp if you manage to get johann back into the game... donation for art is an interesting way to have us non-artist participate artwise to wesnoth :P Well, no promises on Johann, obviously. I haven't spoken with him yet, but I'll send him an email today and find out...

I'll assume that you are talking about Heir to the Throne as well. But first of all: thanks for your offer! Its much appreciated! No problem, and yes I was referring to Heir to the Throne. I don't have the game installed here at work, and now I feel kind of silly. :) Of course we would like more st...

That is, in fact, what I meant. Yes.
