hello
i'm just making these topic to say one thing
WE NEED MORE WEAPONS!!!! (please don't answer pixlise it, i tried to do it and i sucked)
what about trench knives (naruto's), crossbows....

regards
the wind god

and here I would answer, pixel it. Don't worry if it sucks, just keep praticing and you will get better. Also feel free to post some WIP work, cause we can comment on it (and help you), so you can improve your skills even further.

I have one question: what i have to do for weapon. I pixelise icon and then i have do do whole animation? Up attack, down and left (right mirror). Where can i see one weapon (with all pictures)?

Anyway i like pixel art, and i can do it, just i don't have much time for it. I could pixelise it if i know what pictures i have to do. And i can make xml.

a weapon first needs a icon, this should be a 32x32 sprite.
Then it also needs a sheet for the player (a example can be found here: data\graphics\sprites\weapon0.png, where the \data\ directory is your tmw data directory). Notice that there are currently only two kinds of attacks. Shooting a bow and stabbing which really limits the weapons you can draw. There is someone drawing new kind of attacks: http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5720

For more information take a look at the wiki (http://wiki.themanaworld.org) or just ask here.

i tried to make (in gimp) a sword but it got all messed up.....

post it.

i didn't save it...
but i'm making a headband... a cool one... and i have lots of ideas for it...

always save your work, and if you improved it save it under a different name. That way it is easy to see your progress, and if you decide that it looks more ugly than a older version, you can just open the old file and start again trying to improve it until it looks better.

got the idea...
and i have another idea for the headbands. we could make naruto style (not copy) and every clan would choose a little design on a plate on front of the head band

When you want to rip off ideas from anime then at least choose anime which are a bit less known.

ok

But maybe idea about clan simbol isn't that bad. Something on plate, special hat or only that each clan uses one color (this last thing isn't that good because anybody can make colored clothes). I think maybe each clan should make one item (equipable) which would be theirs "simbol".

EDIT:

I don't have data\graphic\sprites directory at all... if found, data\graphic and there were only gui and images

I have Ubuntu 8.10 and i have tmw 0.0.27 and i installed it using kr0n05931's script: http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5498 . I searched whole hard disk, but file named weapon0 don't exist.

Do i have to download some additional files to have this?

You will find what you are looking for in the tmwdata folder that command created in your home directory.
