Default Modding Graphics question

OK, so I'm in the process of making a mod to turn Caelum into a nation of Frost Goblins. What I would like to do is to do is to use slightly altered graphics from the game for a few of the units. Most explicitly, I would like to get access to the wolf and the winter wolf (unit 511) graphics in order to draw in a frost goblin on the back and have a unit that looks like it could plausibly be the winter wolf that it immediately turns into when the rider dies.

If anyone has stripped the graphics files out, or simply has the graphics for the winter wolf - that would be great.
Thanks in advance,
-Frank

If thats not the one you wanted the feel free to browse

or even download the whole zip collection at the botom of that directory

You need to make the second image (the action image) Im afraid. Its too hard to get from the game. Usually they amount to a simple cut-n-paste move of some sort

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.

It seems kind of sloppy to have put in the attack graphics without having some sort of technique for popping them back out again. Considering how many of the units are simply color swaps of other units (ermorian vs. pythian troops, tartarians, etc.), it seems like there must be some sort of unit graphic recall function somewhere.

Oh well, I don't suppose we have the chance of seeing the attack graphics along with the next mod upgrade, do we?
