Tutorial or Guide
« on: June 26, 2014, 12:06:08 pm »
Can someone help with a few things? I want to edit the character sprites and some of the weapons but I am not sure what program to use to do this, other than a paint package of course. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

This would be handy.  I think I know how to make the sprite I need.  But dont know how to make it use the write palette. I dont think paint.net is very good with palettes.

Getting started : https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Rulesets_(OpenXcom)
Also you can download existing mods that modify graphics, to see how they organize things.
