Re: sprites: request to devs
Sure. A SQL file. Relational Database.
One index key would be the unit number as is used in maps and mods.
Another index key would be the text name of the unit.
And another for the .tga file since the other two keys wont cover all of the images (some are partial, old images no longer in use, new images not yet in the game, or after being attacked like mount without rider).
A web interface, probably PHP, could be written to allow updating. Kindof like a WIKI interface. It should allow for sprite #1, sprite #2, other sprites for that unit, and "also see" links for variations of the same unit. Also a spot to link to the screen capture of the info screen on a unit. And the text of that screen typed in so that it can be cut-and-pasted into peoples projects. And a tie-in to Edi's unit database.
