Re: Aragwaith sprites updated!
You can't just have variations and randomly use one of them whenever a unit is recruited?

Re: Aragwaith sprites updated!
Yes, that is possible since long ago, but making that work with every suitable unit requires some rather convoluted WML techniques. There's no way to define a unit type with a random variation chosen on recruiting unless there's a WMLCaptain_Wrathbow wrote:You can't just have variations and randomly use one of them whenever a unit is recruited?

recruit
event to manually do that.It quickly becomes rather ugly since the implementation of events associated to unit type definitions is already ugly by itself.

Re: Aragwaith sprites updated!
A bitty.
Critics noted and hopeful fixed. I think this one is a bit better now.
Excerpt from the new base frame and the animations.
Now I hope the old halo system stayed the same...
And I must now only get my head around transparent effects. Nothing world breaking aside that I never habe done it before.

Easiest way: Just declare one of them as female and one of them as male.johndh wrote:As for hair colors, can you do variations? Is that possible in WML to make the unit sometimes use the straw-haired sprite and sometimes the charcoal-haired one? I like them both.
Warning: May cause pronoun confusion, but iirc the game rarely uses pronouns to refer to non-hero units.

Re: Aragwaith sprites updated!
Sigh.
+1 to painting +3 to bragging.
No serious I think I did quite good with this one. I think I got the tough ladies finally right this time.
The package contains the wizzard andsome preliminary halos. Standing ones, which I think are not really perfect and probably need a lot testing.
I still don't know how to make them interact with the animations
The healing ones, well I think they are a bit better.
But I have no clue if they don't work just ignore them.
All base animations and a small goodie, but no dieing animations yet. No good idea.

But, great work. If you don't mind, I have coded the mage and spearman.

Re: Aragwaith sprites updated!
If I remember correctly they also appear in the Extendet Era (although it seems as if IftU tookpart in EE-both feature Chaos, Steppe Orcs, Aragwaithi and the fairies replacing the rebells' mages...)
After far too long an absence, I have returned.
According to the quiz 100% Silver Mage (85% Archmage, 75% Shyde, 67% Flameheart and Ancient Wose,58% Assassin, Troll Warrior and Berserker). And my top score is exactly how I see myself.

Re: Aragwaith sprites updated!
Old one while with a nice cape wasn't that great. Took me quite a bit.
So finally all lvl one patched up. Animations will follow soon if none speaks up.

Is that the Swordsman? Why is carrying a dagger and not a sword (at least to my point of view)

Re: Aragwaith sprites updated!
The dynamic pose, long sword and cool cape were the things I liked the most in the Aragwaith faction.

Re: Aragwaith sprites updated!
THis one looks more like an assasin and less like a soldier. I tested it in-game, and I liked the old pose better.wayfarer wrote:

Re: Aragwaith sprites updated!
Learn and adept.
I'm a bit suprised about the reactions but actual why not.
Still with scarf I like the ambivalent feeling.
We'll if there is a really strong disagreement about it.

What's with his left arm? It looks like he's stretching it out to reach something...
