Oh, and I learned a couple of things in the process. We definitely need a command to change the leadership abilities of a unit. Very muchly. And the special powers of items (like the whip of command or elemental armor) hard-coded onto a unit do not work! That one, alas, I doubt is going to be fixed. It seems to me that it would be hard to code.

Merci. I sent the basic Version to IllWinter.

I put in a few more monsters, and touched up the buffalo - they're all in the "MonsterLand" file, which can be found here:

As for getting things to Illwinter, um - I tried that address and it seems their virus filter is down, so you may want to use this:

Other Gimp issues:

I copied some parts of a picture in Gimp and pasted to a new file (which starts with a checkerboard background...). But the new file is exactly large enough for what I paste into it. I figured out how to expand the file ("canvas", as they call it) to give working room, but there is an outline of the original canvas size, and the the area beyond that - even though it looks usable - is not usable. I cannot find how to expand the border.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Look at the layers submenue (IIRC) .. something like "set layers to pic size" or something. GIMP handles cut'n'paste as a floating layer .. unless you try to save the file as tga, which doesn't know about layers.

Internally GIMP uses it's .xcf format - even if you open a tga.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I believe the fiter is down. We got the UlmPunk mod. Send mods to info. The contrib adress was a temporary solution and I do not know the password (JK has it though).

Ah, well. Turns out I missed a hero, so UlmPunk's going to have to be updated a bit sooner than I'd anticipated. I guess I'll get to work on it!
