Having trouble getting custom sprites to work
« on: July 03, 2014, 04:17:32 PM »
I'm doing a fairly simple recolor of the paladin. When I load any map custom or not, it wont load the new sheet, instead loading the old one which I removed out of the hammerwatch folders entirely (i did back it up of course). I wouldn't think there would be an xml I would have to edit as I kept the original file's name the same. What am I not thinking of?

So copy the image from the file, make a new file and paste it in? What kind of tweaks to the xml did you have to do?

Strange, if I just replace the knight_a.png it works?

Hammerwatch\assets\actors\player\knight_a.png

Ok, I finally got it working...I guess having to put it in a new file fixed it. Thanks for the help everyone.

I make my own sub-directories for all of my custom images.
Hammerwatch/editor/<campaign>/doodads/decorations/test.png, and the testimagepart1.xml in the same folder, referring to the same image.
