Steam/Collector's Edition Aquanaut Sprites
« on: August 26, 2017, 05:19:16 am »
I have the entire X-Com series on Steam, and I have the three games of the Collector's Edition on CDs, with "X-Com: Interceptor" on another CD. I am trying to find a way to make Aquanauts keep their helmets on in all environments. I can modify sprites from PCK and TAB files, but I cannot change multiple PNG sprites back to single PCK and TAB files. Can someone help?

Look here: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,2980.0.html. There is a tool to combine multiple png into one pck. Not always work, but useful.

Falko's tool will (probably) not work... TFTD has different file format than UFO.

I'm attaching modified unarmored TFTD spritesheet... try if it works for you... if yes, I can write a routine to convert the other spritesheets too.
I tried it only with openxcom, don't have the original game handy atm.

Thank you! I have tested the sprites on islands and in ports, and they work for both. They seem to work just as well in underwater environments as the original sprites.

Attaching the rest, with backups in case you decide the air is not toxic yet in 2040.

Which files affect the standard diving suit images in Terror From the Deep?

I am  trying to find a way to make Aquanauts wear helmets with some suits (entries for Plastic Aqua-Armor, Ion Armor, and Magnetic Ion Armor show Aquanauts wearing helmets). It never made sense to me that soldiers in the original game and Enemy Unknkown usually do not wear helmets.

Just modify the sprites to always have helmets then, export the image out with PCKView, edit the sprite and load it back into your mod.
