A New Sprite
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...

Re: A New Sprite
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?

Re: A New Sprite
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.

Re: A New Sprite
Did you check if it fits into a hex? It doesn't look like that...

Animating it will be a hard job.
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 ^^

Re: A New Sprite
Then you can go down in Wesnoth history as the first person to program a multi-hex unit.woodmouse wrote:Woooooow... I want that in the game!Syntax_Error wrote:

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

Re: A New Sprite
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.) 

Check out my sprites!

Re: A New Sprite
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.Mica wrote:Too late, Era of Magic already has a multi-hex unit I believe. It's in their Dwarves faction.
Re: A New Sprite
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.
