Does anyone know where I could find the new longdead sprites (KO updated the sprites for longdeads a patch or two ago)? I followed some links Burnsaber provided for some "3.21" spritedumps, but so far as I can see they only have the old longdead sprites in them (though it is possible I just missed the new ones).

I tried finding them but I failed :(. Time for another sprite dump IMO!

Well, how do we do one? They have always been things of mystery to me!

See the Dom3Wiki unit pages (http://dom3.servegame.com/wiki?title=Category:Unit&from=Longdead).

I could only find the old sprites again on the wiki.

Those unit sprites are directly from the 3.23 game data, as far as I am aware. Can you tell me the unit name or number for a "new" Longdead sprite in the game and show them on a screenshot, maybe? I don't see any difference. According to the Illwinter changelog (http://ulm.illwinter.com/dom3/dom3progress.html), the last time that the Longdead sprites were "niceified" was in version 3.16.
Have something else in the meantime: Here are the "lost" sprites from KO's scribble book, preliminary versions of sprites that weren't finished yet or where KO was making multiple versions of a unit's sprite until he found out which one he wanted to use in the game.

Ich, is there any way to make it easy to copy a unit's sprite directly from that unit's description page? For instance, a lot of pics, when you hover your mouse over them, will display a little bar that lets you save the pic directly from there.
Kudos on the wiki, by the way, it's brilliant.

I'm sorry, I don't really understand the question. You can save the images from the unit's articles like you'd save any other image on the internet with your browser: right-click and "Save as" or whatever. Or did you mean that you want to batch-download all of them? With cURL, you'd do this like follows:
curl -O http://dom3.servegame.com/sprites/units/[0-3][0-9][0-9][0-9].png
curl -O http://dom3.servegame.com/sprites/units/40[0-9][0-9].png
curl -O http://dom3.servegame.com/sprites/units/410[0-9].png
curl -O http://dom3.servegame.com/sprites/units/4110.png
I guess it's easier if I provide an archive for them, though... Here it is: http://dom3.servegame.com/sprites/units.zip
The images are named and ordered by sprite ID. A unit's attacking sprite is the next one after the normal sprite, so normal sprites are even numbers, attacking sprites are odd numbers. Oh, I replaced all pure black (transparency) by pure white and all magenta (half transparent / shadows) by pure black, be aware of that if you want to use it as a base for sprite editing purposes.

Thanks, I aim to please. I won't be able to work that much on it anymore for now, but people can always pick up from there.
