Default Re: Data Format

Do not crop or resize anything - you're throwing away 'precious' details.

There is no other variable. Unit size is directly 'controlled' by fraction of height it has in the bitmap. AFAIK the new icons use 128x128, while the old ones from DomPPP use only 64x64 and therefore apear more 'blurry'.

monster modding:
#spr1 “<imgfile>”
The file name of the normal image for the monster. The
size of the image should be 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 pixels
wide/high. A human being should be about 32 pixels
high and there should be 2 pixels of free space between
his feet and the bottom of the image.
