               Yup, I did do that after I remade the model (changing to Tile in notepad).  Ended up not looking right in-game.

The new version was what I was going to change the original one to anyway, just wish I didn't have to do so much work to get there.

84 friendly familiars to ride your shoulder and mutter in your ear...
A pandemonium of parrots
A cloud of bats
A murder of crows
An unkindness of ravens <*excuse* me?>
A screech of gulls
A cast of falcons
And a haunt of spirits

I'll be sending them as soon as I scribble some vague nonsense about how to use them :-P

               Miracles do happen. I was struggling to come up with enough (both in numbers and variety) for my submission. So much so that I doubted I would get it in on time. Then today it just came together. So I have just now sent it in. Phew!

Merrick, those teleport effects sound awesome. ...

Do you have any interest in sharing them? '>

I certainly will once I get all my stuff back together. I just recently purchased one of those IDE-2-USB thingies so I can get all my old textures and missed scripts off my ancient hard drive. It seems I still lost a few hundred textures, but I have ALL my old scripts now. Woot!

After I finish a few more projects, I'll just start hammering bits back together and release ALL my old stuff. First I need to get the tileset manager put back together and put out my multi-height tileset with it. Hopefully then I can modify the tileset manager so Rolo can use it elsewhere. I need to recreate a few hundred textures, but I still have the PSP multi-layered bitmaps I used to make them with.

               Here's a look at the beams that my gmax tool can produce in version 0.2



Sorry, still trying to figure out how to insert images. Certainly can't just drag and drop worth anything '>

               Just an amazing variety of awesome contributions this month- thanks!  You guys (and gals) never cease to amaze me...

               TR~ that's great. I can picture them coming out the back end too. *grins*
               
               

               
            

[Legacy_Tarot Redhand]

               Thanks guys. The six shown here are a quarter of what I have sent in (Just checking, you have got them haven't you AD?). I included a quick and dirty catalogue with my submission which explains what their suggested intended use is. For example "Parp!" is the trigger word for a magic device that produces a stinking cloud and "Need clean undies" is the result of a spell failure. Well I did warn you all that they are very much tongue in cheek and really intended for movies etc. But who am I to limit the imagination of those use them.

Oh one other thing. I have a list of the fonts used and I have archived the 2048x2048 png images that I created for this before shrinking them and converting to tga for textures. If anyone is interested in getting their hands on either resource just pm me and I'll sort something out. Finally, 1 resource that I found useful was the site FontFace which hosts over 19000 fonts.
