Sprite Numbers

[Immortal Wombat]

Sorry to be a pain, but was there not an unused combat engineer sprite in ctp? Its not in the list and I have found a use for it. If it were included I would be very grateful. Thank You

What sprite # was that and what is it? You are just a bit vague....

[Immortal Wombat]

Sorry if I was a little obscure, I think the combat enginner was ctp sprite number 37, but it was never used in the game.
It looks like a woman with a metal detector, (and God knows what Activision added it for, it isn't anything like any military unit past or present) but I am using it in a mod and having a space alocated for it would be very useful.

Thanks

Check out the modification page, and the Ctp1 sprites link. That should tell you.

A combat engineer... okay lets see if you can provide the tga's for this sprite since I doubt most people even know it exists it'll find a place in the numbers as 113.

[Immortal Wombat]

Thanks Omni.

Um, how do I get the TGAs from the *.zfs files ?

[OmniGod]

All you need to do is take screen shots of the image and crop it to the size of the tga's. I'm not 100% sure what the size is but I know it's in the forum somewhere.... getting a number isn't as easy as it sounds is it

I used hypersnap to make the tgas. Play the unit's video with Media Player (you will need Ctp1 installed to do this) and capture the image you want.
All pics use a 4-to-3 ratio: 160x120, 32x24, and 24x18.

What about the Catapults from CTP1???

Blue Catapult - Apolyton Pack
Brown Catapult - fan created

Currently I'm using 'ol Blue at #180 and the brown one at #181

I would recommend 98 and 197, respectively.

Sprite_BlueCatapult 98
Sprite_BrownCatapult 197

Please submit the sprite and tga to me so others know which sprites you are speaking about exactly and I'll put it into the db. Thanks

EDIT: please note that I've posted the most up-to-date spr # listing near the top of page 1 of this thread. BlueO I would like it if you would claim your numbers and renumber your sprites. Thanks

Thanks Wes and Omni, I always wondered how it was done...

Catapults sent...

Is there still a conflict with units that are numbered below 100????

[hexagonian]

Reserve the following numbers...

CTP1 Settler - 134
CTP1 Knight - 135
CTP1 Longship - 136

[OmniGod]

CTP settler - 196
CTP Knight - 114
CTP Longship - 195

There will be no stealing of BlueO's numbers until he has made his claim and then decided not to make anymore units. Sorry Hex, but at least you got numbers right?
