Well, AFAIK, you can play on ANY map what you want, you can make a map with millions of colors, or use an existing high res map.

Could you post the 'spooky sprites' for us to use?

I don't know if JK wants spooky to be released. Anyway it is probably the least userfriendly program you will ever find. There is virtually no documentation on anything and you would have to guess a lot.

Here is a screenshot. I found the menu by accidentally clicking some key.

I dont recognize that unit you are editing there.
Thats mean

It's a cavalry unit of the Bear tribal poptype, of course.

OK, I don't know jack but that's my bet.

Actually it's an atlantian hero

How about releasing some kind of to BMP/ from BMP converter, to make it easier to edit sprites. I would bet there would be a lot more graphic modes if the conversion was easy.
I know i asked for it before and was told no, but maybe since you already working on a new game you will make a converter as well.

to BMP? If someone wants to work in BMP then there are good converters out there. If they write one they might do something more generic like converting to PNG

Hmmm... it's trival right now. Just use irfanview, at www.irfanview.com. It interconverts all common image formats. Unless you mean that you want easy access to the source art, but they're not giving that out.

It's likely that the new #copystats command will allow cloning an existing unit's image, though.

Saber Cherry why wouldnt they? People get the sprites from the game anyway they are just harder to get to. It doesnt make sense not to allow easy access to sprites in the game thats so mode friendly.
