New Jotun theme: Muspelheim

[Agrajag]

Im just guessing here (Im in the spirit of helping mods lately, check out the draconian mod thread ), maybe its the fact that your monster #descr is ""?
Try writing "incomplete" in all of the #descr's and see if it works, I don't think anything else can cause a problem with monster description.
BTW, it might be the mod description (if it would have said there is a problem in the MOD description) which is that Im not sure if all regular punctuation is allowed, some games have special commands for things like apostrophes (&apos for that, atleast in one other game =P).

Ok the code is working fine now (thanks to Agrajag). Now I've come up with the next problem: unit graphics. I am trying to edit Jotunheim units to fiery Muspelheim giants, but there's one unsolved issue. When I take a model (e.g Jotun jarl), I can only use the colors, that are already on it (like brown, black and grey). So that forbids me using red and yellow, which are to be the main colors of Muspel units. So.. help me out!

Oh and I'm using Paint Shop Pro 8.

Save the file as .jpg Now open <JotunJarl>.jpg
Then when you are finished recolouring save the file as .tga

That's how I do

Actually, the easier way (if you are using photoshop, the best .tga editor I know) is just to change the color definition.
Image>Mode>RGB Color

I think the result will be best with the 'Hue & saturation' option IMHO...marking the parts you wanna change and do the 'H&S'.
Also if he wants to add more than recoluring the jotuns like giving them a new sword or alike, it will be a good Idea to change format. That would be my advise ...but again we all works diffrently when it comes to paint programs

That hue & saturation was nice.. units lack personality though, so I'm prepared to do em pixel by pixel.

I turned jotunheim gifs -> tga-files and tested. I get this kind of error message, "FSA: bad tga file". What could it possibly mean?

[Thilock_Dominus]

Try uncompressing the tga file.
When you save the tga file in PSP8 (save as) there is a box called 'advance', press the button and an option appears. Click 'uncompressing tga'.

Azhur, did you get my PM?
