Re: Modding Questions
Oh, and I learned a couple of things in the process. We definitely need a command to change the leadership abilities of a unit. Very muchly. And the special powers of items (like the whip of command or elemental armor) hard-coded onto a unit do not work! That one, alas, I doubt is going to be fixed. It seems to me that it would be hard to code.

Follow the /etc directory under GIMP. At the end of it is some config files (plain text) where you can make more permanent changes

Re: Modding Questions
I put in a few more monsters, and touched up the buffalo - they're all in the "MonsterLand" file, which can be found here:

As for getting things to Illwinter, um - I tried that address and it seems their virus filter is down, so you may want to use this:

I cannot find how to expand the border.

Look at the layers submenue (IIRC) .. something like "set layers to pic size" or something. GIMP handles cut'n'paste as a floating layer .. unless you try to save the file as tga, which doesn't know about layers.
Internally GIMP uses it's .xcf format - even if you open a tga.

I believe the fiter is down. We got the UlmPunk mod. Send mods to info. The contrib adress was a temporary solution and I do not know the password (JK has it though). |

Re: Modding Questions
Ah, well. Turns out I missed a hero, so UlmPunk's going to have to be updated a bit sooner than I'd anticipated. I guess I'll get to work on it!
