The hair...it's done by you, correct? I would suggest looking at hair in other sprites and trying what they do for shading and the like, what you have there is a good outline but lacks volume.

I'd suggest downloading a copy of GIMP (it's free). MSPaint is not the best program to make sprite art with, becasue it will give you a solid background, always. It doesn't handle transparencies...

Also, the sword doesn't strike me as bad.

Welcome, and good luck: getting better takes practise!

But do you prefer the first or second sword?
Edit:Yes i use microsoft digital photo studio for that and How would i make his lance holy?

So far i have this code:
and this is the lastest version i deleted the tags

Jdraw is a handy program that has cool features and for windows too. The Gimp probably has more options but is harder to learn (my own experiance)

Those guys are looking pretty good, keep it up

[Jetrel]

To make the attack holy:

Code: Select all

name=holy lance
type=pierce

changes to

Code: Select all

name=holy lance
type=holy

okay then how i make an icon for it

[zookeeper]

Again, you're best off using 1.1.9 units as a basis when you make your own. You also can't miss how attack icons are defined if you look at any existing unit that does so.

I used lancer as the basis unit

Edit:I have now tested it

This is what my 1.1.9 lancer .cfg looks like:

	unit_description= _ "Lancers are some of the bravest and most feared riders in all of Wesnoth. Clad in minimal armor, they free themselves to ride swiftly, faster than any of their peers. The daring tactics they employ are a double-edged sword, often winning either glory, or a swift death. Lancers excel in hunting down infantrymen who've made the mistake of breaking formation, and in piercing defensive lines. However, they have limited use in defense." + _ "

You're saying you took this and intentionally changed it to use obsolete syntax in several places?

[rooster600500]

wow no i have the lastest stable version and that one but i use stable

[Corwin]

You should use the development version. There are many improvements and enhancements to WML that you will want to use. Also, the developers are more involved in that version and you will have more support. It may crash slightly more, but file a bug report and the next release should be better.

After all, a video game is not exactly an application that needs absolute stability like a webserver (where a stable version is prefered in many situations).

[rooster600500]

this is a lousy long sword icon recoulour

[fmunoz]

The weapon images are really improved and very different form old 1.0.2 style...
Get the 1.1.9 ASAP and work from it.. the new stable release 1.2 will be released soon*





* As soon as it's ready
