Title: MODDERS REJOICE! NEW GRAPHICS ARE EASY NOW!
Post by: Cirius on May 24, 2013, 10:31:07 pm: This statement intrigues me, anyone care to elaborate on what it specifically means?

Post by: Warboy1982 on May 25, 2013, 03:29:21 am: i added the ability to define additional graphics (even within existing sets) via the ruleset.

Post by: AndO3131 on May 25, 2013, 06:29:03 pm: @Warboy1982 is it possible to change the code in a way, that it would accept pck files? So that, for example this code
Code: [Select]
- type: BIGOBS.PCK width: 32 height: 40 files: 100: Resources/Bunny/Bunny00.pckwould add all sprites inside Resources/Bunny/Bunny00.pck to BIGOBS.PCK, starting with number 100, then 101, and so on?

Post by: Warboy1982 on May 26, 2013, 05:03:14 am: ... but the whole point was to make the pck format unneccesary
i'd prefer to add whole folder content reading and/or reading in compressed files (ie: rar, zip, etc)

PCK unnecessary , i have missed a lot of upgrades then, maybe you could write some How-Tos for the modding site showing a example of what is needed???

Post by: Warboy1982 on May 27, 2013, 07:24:03 am: well, i added folder content reading for now, because i was working with armor, and needed to define an entire sprite set.
