New Jotun theme: Muspelheim

[Azhur]

Ok the code is working fine now (thanks to Agrajag). Now I've come up with the next problem: unit graphics. I am trying to edit Jotunheim units to fiery Muspelheim giants, but there's one unsolved issue. When I take a model (e.g Jotun jarl), I can only use the colors, that are already on it (like brown, black and grey). So that forbids me using red and yellow, which are to be the main colors of Muspel units. So.. help me out!

Oh and I'm using Paint Shop Pro 8.

Save the file as .jpg Now open <JotunJarl>.jpg
Then when you are finished recolouring save the file as .tga

That's how I do

Actually, the easier way (if you are using photoshop, the best .tga editor I know) is just to change the color definition.

I think the result will be best with the 'Hue & saturation' option IMHO...marking the parts you wanna change and do the 'H&S'.
Also if he wants to add more than recoluring the jotuns like giving them a new sword or alike, it will be a good Idea to change format. That would be my advise ...but again we all works diffrently when it comes to paint programs

That hue & saturation was nice.. units lack personality though, so I'm prepared to do em pixel by pixel.

I turned jotunheim gifs -> tga-files and tested. I get this kind of error message, "FSA: bad tga file". What could it possibly mean?

[Thilock_Dominus]

Try uncompressing the tga file.
When you save the tga file in PSP8 (save as) there is a box called 'advance', press the button and an option appears. Click 'uncompressing tga'.

Also, check that it saves in 24Bit color, the game says it can use 32 as well, but everytime I tried it didnt work...
So go for 24!

Yep.. you're free to assist me.
