I haven't seen anything like this. Perhaps some copystat mayhem?

If you want to use vanilla graphics, #copyspr is your command (see the modding manual for further detail).

If you want use modified vanilla graphics, I suggest you search for "Sprite Editing Tutorial", you should find the download for all vanilla unit image files there.

Thanks for the Sprite editing tutorial!

Here's one commander, which has two quarterstaffs for some reason.

#newmonster 2401
#name "Black Wizard"
#spr1 "./Mod/Misborn.tga"
#spr2 "./Mod/Misborn2.tga"
#descr "..."
#ap 12
#mapmove 2
#hp 10
#prot 0
#size 2
#str 10
#enc 3
#att 10
#def 10
#prec 10
#mr 18
#mor 20
#gcost 320
#rcost 10
#weapon "Quarterstaff"
#weapon 7
#holy
#startage 60
#maxage 75
#older 5
#itemslots 15494
#magicskill 1 2
#magicskill 5 3
#magicskill 8 3
#nametype 106
#goodleader
#end

Am I just missing the obvious here?

[Burnsaber]

Eh, yeah.

#weapon "Quarterstaff"
#weapon 7

You only need one of those lines. Both give the quaterstaff weapon.

You can add weapons by their name or their ID. You're doing both at the same time.

[Executor]

Ah, I assumed you needed both, stupid assumption I guess.
Thanks for the help folks, I'll probably be back for more in a day or two.

[Executor]

Back, as promised. I'm half done with my mod nation, most of the units and their images are done I just have this one remaining problem,

What's wrong with this picture?

getspldscr: bad splnr

I'm assuming that means get spell description: bad spell number?
Just why does it appear?

You haven't defined the unit before the spell to summon it, possibly. I'll have a look at it tomorrow if that isn't it.

[Edi]

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm late and the questions I was replying to have been answered.

[Executor]

OK, I'm back, Sombre, I have no idea what you said what so ever! You'll have to explain it as if you were talking to a little child!
I have to define the unit how?
What's my objective!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

I guess modding isn't for anyone...

[Sombre]

Just put the chunk of code for the unit/monster before the chunk of code for the spell and see if that works.
