An idea that's been kicked around some

Hot points 48 50

Herald 80 ,0 (I think this is shield data)

You know it lists exactly the same numbers in sprite edit

[The Big Mc]

did not see them there may need stronger glasses but the debug exe good for brand new units as you can assign hot spot quickly there also you can edit already existing spr files and save the changes.

[Maquiladora]

Yes definately good for looking exactly where, am downloading debug exe now. Thanks.

[The Big Mc]

so what the next step we have worked out how to quickly alter the colour of units. do you want to do a read me and set up a new thread.

Might be a good idea - you've totally threadjacked this one .

[Maquiladora]

Do I want to do a readme and set up a new thread? yeah i suppose i can try

By the way heres my units, im not totally happy with the effects around the barrles and some general jaggedness that you dont see on the red original one, but for a first try...

[The Big Mc]

I did not thread jack this one

i just borrowed it

[Maquiladora]

Ive download the debug exe so you can take it down now if you like, thanks.

Still writing the guide, probbably be done on tuesday/wednesday.

[The Big Mc]

*sigh*

Would Poser 5 possibly be a useful tool in spriting? I have access to it, but I haven't played around with it enough to actually do anything.

[The Big Mc]

Stupid question but what is poser 5

You may wish to put this on a new ( none play test installation as I don’t know how this one will like play test stuff.

But to wet your appetite the numbers you wanted

(i will try to keep it there for as long as my web space lets me.)

Hm the debug version isnt working. First i got an error with MSVCP60D.dll missing, whicch i downloaded anyway and now another error with some line in some other file. Maybe it was because of the files you didnt include?

[The Big Mc]

I sent everything apart from the original exe what have you installed it over the top of.

[Maquiladora]

Hm dont know then. Doesnt the compiler make a new ctp2.exe?

[J Bytheway]

Perhaps the exe was compiled under a different version of VC++ from that which you have installed? A different service pack, or something?
