3rd party Apps wishlist

Secondly, ripping the unit icons to .tga format.

It would take either a hacker (doing things that are technically illegal, though I doubt IW would mind) or a dev to accomplish these.

this would be awesome! hope someone is up to it

I keep waiting for someone to just make some unit sheets. Anyone can do that with screen capture and a paint program (and more patience than I have). Even if they did them one group at a time it would help.

as pointed out in another topic, just doing it that way requires some touch up as well and we're talking LOTS of pictures, so tons of work.

plus I'd really like to get the 'action' pose .tga 's and I don't think there's an easy way to do that without extracting the pictures.

Well, if you start Dominions with the -xxx option, you should get a completely black battle-field; which should reduce the amount of touch-up you'll need. Of course, if you want _both_ images of the unit (standard and attack) you're in for some work.

Some work. But from what Ive seen it looks like moving one small section and maybe some pixel editing. I mean the barbarain chief moves his sword from above his head to out in front of him.

I'm not even sure this could be done, I'd like to have a app that would keep a record of your top ten or twenty slain commanders. The ranking could be exactly like the Hall of Fame but with all your units...It would make for a great After-The-Game comparison.

a watchdog routine for hotseat games that have a slow player. It could watch for the trn files to change and then play a sound.
