Mod: New nation : Shangri La, Hidden City of the Secret Masters

[HoneyBadger]

By the way, if you want any advice on Nepalise/Tibetan/Ghurkah armaments, and maybe military practices, I can probably help a lot there. I've studied the kukri and related weapons at great length (I was going to have a kukri specially forged for me, at one time, but I got married and the money for it disappeared-aside from that, my dad used to appraise swords for auction houses, and I basically got weapons and armour with my mother's milk.).

Honeybadger, what an horrible thing to imagine ! But, at least, you had an iron-rich diet when you were a baby...

I'm interested by advices on Tibetan armaments and military practices.

Concerning Ghurkah, you won't have them until LA, but a unit in MA uses kukri (dagger-size kukri, 'cause I plan to have Ghurkah-based units in LA, some with short kukri blades, others with great kukri, sorts of dacian "sica").

Oh, and here is the sprite of Palden Dorjee Lhamo... I hope you will not be too disappointed by my lack of drawing skill !

Well, this didn't work like I expected...

I just tried once again, and failed !

How can I attach an image so you can download it and see it better ? Any help is welcome...


BTW, the yellow guy is a Gelug lama of Shangri La...

I just went though that myself today.

I read and followed Sombre's advice to Honeybadger in Honeybadgers' Aksum thread.

What you have to do (from a near-total idiots understanding) is convert your sprites to a JPEG format, upload them to Free Image Hosting.com, copy the address and paste it in the "manage attachments" part below this section of the reply.

How did I do?? Did it once, two hours ago and already I'm an expert!!!!!!!

Thanks, Ed.

I tried ... but it didn't work !!

I keep having the sprite as a thumbnail, not as an attached file, and it doesn't seem you can download it...

I think the problem is you're a near-total idiot... so you understand it much better than me 'cause i'm a total-idiot !!

The best thing to do is to wait patiently until one of the Dover pros read this thread and can help you.

I spent about 30 minutes clicking and hoping in my image program until I stumbled upon the method of accomplishing (mostly) my objective. It is known as the "Even a blind dog pees on a bush once in while" method of computer type stuff.

Convert the .tga file to .png

Go to freeimagehosting.

Upload.

Copy the URL for 'Display this image on a forum' or whatever.

Paste it in a post.

If people want to download it they can do a save as. I don't see why you'd need people to download it though.
