Mod: Caelis Immolatum ON HOLD

[Endoperez]

Attached are sprites of Great Hawk, Spring Hawk and a rudimentary, 10-minute Firebird done in Gimp. It's surprisingly flashy. All have white background (instead of black) and near-black shadows (instead of magenta).

Nice, thanks, Endo. This is what I think of when I think of 'community mod'; a mod that the community works together to make.

If there's a fairly tricky of fancy looking graphic you need done, I can do it. I'm not the best artist here but I'm beyond the basics now :]

[VedalkenBear]

Heh. If I just sit down and hammer this out, I may have a playable version of it later today. Have to go to school for most of the next 8 hours, though.

I had this mod in mind when I made my simple sprite-editing tutorial. You can find a red-robed Caelian Seraph from there, if you happen to need one.

Thanks mainly to the efforts of others, I am done with the graphics for the Seraphs and Seraphines. Considering I can't exactly see the scale of what I'm doing, I'm not sure how much difference can be seen between the Seraphs and Seraphines in each tribe. Through some cut/paste, I _was_ able to get a rather different attack animation by way of distinguishment (go go word creation).

I need to code up/dress up the units now. The first release will probably be without national spell (or modification of Yazatas/Spentas), just to see how the overall flavor goes.

How do you do the filepath for custom sprites?

Edit: Another question. Can you make something do _only_ damage to undead/demons? I see the triple damage effect, but is that it? ><

[Endoperez]

Good luck with your sprites.

Filepath of custom sprites, if they are in CaelisImmolatum folder under \mods\, would be:
#icon .\caelisimmolatum\immolatumbanner.tga

And yes you can. There's the new Water spell "Cleansing Water": 5 points of AN damage to demons/undead only, on AoE 4+.
