Yeah. I had a Tank/Plasma Cannon from my own Tanks, Drones, Sectopods? Oh my! engage an MiB tank. Needless to say, we all know who won that engagement.

But it was pretty cool if I may say so. Kinda makes me wish for recording equipment. It was an epic battle.

Robin, can you please tell me how you ripped these graphics from the Apocalypse tilesets? I've tried several tools and all of them failed.
Or better yet, is there a repository of unpacked files?

[robin]

I haven't ripped them, I re-drew them from scratch looking at the screenshots.

Mother of God. I am in sheer awe.

They seem pretty accurate representations of the Temple of Sirius maps. However, one thing I've started noticing is that the individual tiles look too blocky/geometrical.

Yeah I'm making some modifications that hopefully will reduce this effect.
Having to draw things using so few pixel makes several things easier, but you can also end up with indecipherable clusters of pixels

Robin, I try to modify your holodrone unit for making it able to respawn (the first shot laser, and the respawned shot explosive) but I don't known how to add picture. While you have already made it for spitter, surely you know what I must to add to the sprite sheet work make this work ?

My ruleset work with the zombie sprites, but crash with the holodrone's.

[robin]

You have to make second holodrone unit with the abilities you want, then you give the first unit the respawn ability, linking it to that second unit you added.
Look at how the zombie unit respawns into a chryssalid, in the default 'Xcom1Ruleset.rul'.

Ops, didn't read last sentence. Mmmh maybe the problem is a wrong drawingRoutine?

[skymarshall]

Really like all your new sprites!  They're really professionally done

Microprose should have employed you back in the 90s

It's clearly a graphical problem, but I don't know how it's work.

for now I have this :

Code: [Select]

- type: HOLODRONE_ARMOR
    spriteSheet: HOLODRONE.PCK
    corpseBattle:
      - STR_HOLODRONE_CORPSE
    frontArmor: 70
    sideArmor: 70
    rearArmor: 70
    underArmor: 70
    drawingRoutine: 8
    movementType: 1
    damageModifier:
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 0.0
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 1.0
      - 0.0
      - 1.0
      - 2.2
      - 0.0
    loftempsSet: [ 4 ]
And the game crash when the holodrone2 respawn (the holodrone2 have the same armor, maybe it's the problem ? )
