Default PERFECT SPRITE EXTRACTION

Sorry for the caps but this really is a HUGE announcement. Thanks to something Endoperez said in a sort of offhand manner we now appear to have a way of extracting perfect (though not attacking) sprites from Dom3.

This is going to be a MASSIVE help to modders like myself who have previously had to pretty much redraw the sprites by eye and hand in order to modify them,... AND it's going to mean any random fool (if you'll pardon the term) can now make graphical alterations and new units and whatnot that fit in with Vanilla dom3 more or less perfectly. With this method there is literally no excuse for dodgy or very basic graphics any more.

Here's how I did it, following Endo's guidance.

Turn off the filter in graphical preferences.
Switch resolution to 800x600.
Find the unit you want and right click on it to bring up its display screen.
Then printscreen (screengrab), paste it into a graphical app and cut out the graphic you want.

THAT'S IT.

If I'd known this a few months ago,.... wow that woulda saved me a LOT of time. I'd also have made probably twice as many mods.

THANKYOU ENDO! I really can't stress that enough
