A New Sprite

Post by Garen Voh »

So yeah... I've been working on this for a while, and I just thought people might like to see a really good sprite. Maybe people can use this for examples or frankensteining and stuff...

I'm not sure it's an improvement on the older version - the specular highlights at the bottom makes it seem like it's being lit from all directions. How about combining the new top with the old bottom?

I was thinking a kind of "mage of light" type illumination skill. This sprite is that good. That way it's shining from all sides. Also, I'll probably introduce a new skill, a sort of "light from heaven" thing so it's also illuminated from the top. :P

Did you check if it fits into a hex? It doesn't look like that...

Animating it will be a hard job. :P And it still needs transparency.

It seems like a extreme unit with rolling attack about 4000 with one hit while moving. Blow out every enemy on its way ^^
and it's the first biggest multihex unit ^^

Then you can go down in Wesnoth history as the first person to program a multi-hex unit. :P
It would be cool if it was programed, and I'd love to see someone do it, but as you know, it wouldn't be that easy.

Too late, Era of Magic already has a multi-hex unit I believe. It's in their Dwarves faction.

If it would be many units, that huge monster I mean, like in pieces and it would stay where it is as a boss in some map and recruit different monsters with every part of it, in swamp kinda place. (Well, not too original idea, but I think it would be cool.) :)

Nope. I think you may be thinking of the Mechanical dragon, but that goes outside the hex, but only occupies 1 hex. Although I do believe that inferno has the wmling ability to do it.

That's technically a multihex unit. I didn't mean one that takes up multiple hexes, one that takes up more than 1 hex. I know it's misleading by my wording, and I apologize.
