New Mod--Lycans!! 0.2 Beta

Hi you all ,i usually just read the forums, and never post cause as you will notice i always forget were i posted,but i will try to keep this one fresh

First , i would like to say thanks to all the modders here, i try to download and play a little of every work that i find, and because of that, was inspired to make my own mod.

About the nation....

Werewolves that want to rule all, pretty simple, i really like the call of wild spell, and think that the werewolves were underestimated. ( i like dogs too, but cats no)

Military-- Strong, reg units, High attack, low defense(i guess,) good stealthy, assassin units

Magic--- blood(maybe too strong??) Astral, Nature, fire

Priests---Average???

Aim to be:

A fun nation, that should be played aggressive , using stealth troops to assassinate, and disrupt enemy lines, and
medium armies that can endure much punishment to conquer fast. right now they seem to have a morale that is just to good don't know why, because the numbers don't seem that high...


The hardest part is not to overpower them, cause i find out reg is way powerful in battle, but i haven't played a long game yet, cause i always drop when the micromanagement get really intense, and i'm always changing things.So any tips are welcome.


About the help!!!

"Black aura"on sprites is getting fixed, thanks for the tips, will be out on next version.

And as you may notice i don't have a single artistic skill, so all these sprites are basic placeholders, if some good soul want to remake them, or polished them, fell free i will give you all credit,cause i probably won't change them much, simply cause i don't know how.

Some help will be needed to spell check every thing cause my english is awful as you may already notice......

About bugs....

Some bugs i'm aware of

---pretender not nations spec(no idea why)
--- magic req for spells (the command seems to be written right)

the dm file brings some thoughts about them, but please fell free to inform any you find.

i guess thats it, i'm felling sleepy now

And hope you all enjoy this one, i'm planning to make some others...

OOOkay! first! you are EVIL cats rock, secondly on a slightly more serious note, if I were to take a guess I'd say it's you're conversion method, From jpeg or bitmap or whatever to TGA, I use Corel Draw, but you usually need to pay for that, Gimp and Infanview should work just as well, um, jus; google them when you have the time, cause I don' have links on hand.

Though, it could also be that when I first started modding waaaaaaay back in dom 2 I was using JPEG files which! when you open them in paint and I guess in some other programs, blur colours about everywhere and that'll mess up a 0 0 0 black colour cause it'll mix it the tiniest bit and it'll be visible.

oh yeah, you are right, i have used paint to edit and jpg, going to try another format, and Gimp, thanks by the help



Arg GIMP rules!! soon i will be able to correct the dark aura from them all!!, now i just need to polish them, but wow this program make things way easier!

[llamabeast]

I'm also a biiig fan of GIMP.

[Juzza]

I'm not personally! I just had it suggested to me, I don't have the foggiest of how to use it!

[Valandil]

I like GIMP alot. Lots of tools, incredibly simple to understand, actually runs on Vista. How/what is Infanview (sp?) never heard of it before.

Re Juzza: Well, where's the werecat mod, then, eh?

[Sombre]

Irfan view is more of a file viewer / converter / organizer. It's free.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

I'm your tutorial man when it comes to graphics programs.
Got GIMP or Photoshop questions, I can find your answer. Sometimes even in a video format. I've even found tutorials on the original ms paint that allow you to do things with it the original programmers never intended.

Re Valandil: I'll make one! ......... sometime!! and it'll be better than any of the five or more werewolf mods that've been made.

oh come on is this bad????
ok i made this one for my personal use, but decide to share cause i played on a way that the others races don't allow much,but i know it really need to improve

hehe ok i'm not an expert on the game , never finished a really big game, so i have no late-game tactics, but the concept is that bad?? and i only saw one werewolf mod out there that is abrasomething, really good i must say, but i always thought that wendingos were apes, like yetis and stuff

and i need to change my epithet because of that one hehehe, damn...

so any sugestions??
