New longdead sprites

Does anyone know where I could find the new longdead sprites (KO updated the sprites for longdeads a patch or two ago)? I followed some links Burnsaber provided for some "3.21" spritedumps, but so far as I can see they only have the old longdead sprites in them (though it is possible I just missed the new ones).

Re: New longdead sprites

I tried finding them but I failed :(. Time for another sprite dump IMO!

Re: New longdead sprites

Well, how do we do one? They have always been things of mystery to me!

Re: New longdead sprites

I could only find the old sprites again on the wiki.

Re: New longdead sprites

Those unit sprites are directly from the 3.23 game data, as far as I am aware. Can you tell me the unit name or number for a "new" Longdead sprite in the game and show them on a screenshot, maybe? I don't see any difference. According to the Illwinter changelog, the last time that the Longdead sprites were "niceified" was in version 3.16.

Have something else in the meantime: Here are the "lost" sprites from KO's scribble book, preliminary versions of sprites that weren't finished yet or where KO was making multiple versions of a unit's sprite until he found out which one he wanted to use in the game.

Re: New longdead sprites

Ich, is there any way to make it easy to copy a unit's sprite directly from that unit's description page? For instance, a lot of pics, when you hover your mouse over them, will display a little bar that lets you save the pic directly from there.

Kudos on the wiki, by the way, it's brilliant.

You can save the images from the unit's articles like you'd save any other image on the internet with your browser: right-click and "Save as" or whatever. Or did you mean that you want to batch-download all of them? With cURL, you'd do this like follows:

Code:

curl -O http://dom3.servegame.com/sprites/units/[0-3][0-9][0-9][0-9].png

curl -O http://dom3.servegame.com/sprites/units/40[0-9][0-9].png

curl -O http://dom3.servegame.com/sprites/units/410[0-9].png

curl -O http://dom3.servegame.com/sprites/units/4110.png

I guess it's easier if I provide an archive for them, though... Here it is: http://dom3.servegame.com/sprites/units.zip

The images are named and ordered by sprite ID. A unit's attacking sprite is the next one after the normal sprite, so normal sprites are even numbers, attacking sprites are odd numbers. Oh, I replaced all pure black (transparency) by pure white and all magenta (half transparent / shadows) by pure black, be aware of that if you want to use it as a base for sprite editing purposes.

Thanks, I aim to please. I won't be able to work that much on it anymore for now, but people can always pick up from there.
