Undead Graphics Question
« on: February 23, 2007, 08:07:00 pm »

Put simply, is there any way I can use my spiffy Skeletal Elephant graphics without replacing the graphics for normal elephants?

Why would you ever want Elephants that AREN'T undead?   :)

Heh, well I don't want them, but I've found that even though most of the elephants on a map are skeletal, there have been one or two groups of living elephants that have wandered onto the map... it just looks weird to have normal elephants represented by skeletons...

Yeah, this should be supported.  You just need to add an entry:

[DEFAULT :DWARVES:0:0:ADD_COLOR]
[SKELETON :DWARVES:1:0:ADD_COLOR]

like that.  That would make skeletal dwarves use the 1,0 picture instead of the 0,0 picture.

The available types are documented in the graphics example file that's in the zip.

Ah, thanks. I'd never actually noticed the instructions at the bottom of the text file, I just had been modifying Dystopian Rhetoric's setup, copying comparable code and such.

This should make things much more nice looking!
