Working on a new mod

Awesome work, by the way. Not at all sure it's balanced*, but it's definitely commendable. Any idea when you might start making sprites?

* Busy, busy day. The moment I get a minute alone with the thoughts in my head, I'll be sure to mull this over.

I've made the first sprite, an Elven Archer. But I suck when it comes to 32x32 pix pictures. I'm much better with bigger pictures, so I hope people can live with it

You could always do bigger pictures and then resize them to 32x32... Although I quess you would need a special tool for that.

Nope, you can resize a picture with GIMP, but in my opinion the picture becomes blurred.

Perhaps I should rework the already made dom2 unit pictures instead?

I did that with MS Paint, and converted them using IrfanView. It works, but takes time.

To do it properly, run DomII in window, put filter off and set opacity to 100%. When I took screenshots this way, all the himans were exactly 32 pixels high, and I don't think I'm that lucky.

And as colors won't be deformed, you can remove two background-blacks, leaving the two shadow-blacks.

In what resolution did you ran?

1280x1028, but I tested it at 640xsomething and the result was same. When windowed, DomII seems to default to its "natural" resolution.
