Skeleton Invasion

Post by enchilado »

I was bored, and so replaced the player sprite, via customdata, with the skeleton sprite. Here are a few screenshots for your enjoyment, in case you're as bored as I was:

What Operating System are you on? The method is, I presume, the same, but I'm not sure where the .tmw folder is on any system except Ubuntu 9.10 ;) .

Well, go to .tmw, which should be in your home directory, and create a folder called customdata.

Code: Select all

yourhomefolder/.tmw/customdata/
In this, create a folder called graphics. Under graphics, create a folder called sprites.

Code: Select all

yourhomefolder/.tmw/customdata/graphics/sprites/
Now take this image:
monster-skeleton.png
monster-skeleton.png (45.17 KiB) Viewed 1147 times
and save it in the folder sprites, but call it player_male_base.png. Then save it in there AGAIN, and call it player_female_base.png, so you have:

Code: Select all

yourhomefolder/.tmw/customdata/graphics/sprites/player_male_base.png
and

Code: Select all

yourhomefolder/.tmw/customdata/graphics/sprites/player_female_base.png
Return to the directory customdata and right-click graphics. Select the option to compress the file, and compress as a .zip file (but still called graphics).
Restart TMW, if it was running, or just start it if it wasn't.

NOTE: these instructions are not for 4144's patched client. You'd probably do the same thing but the folder wouldn't be .tmw, it would be something else. I'm not sure what.

You can do this even easier. Instead of exchanging the graphic files themself you can change which graphic file is used for the player sprites in the file items.xml.

Line 66-69. Exchange the strings "player_male_base.xml" and "player_female_base.xml" with "monster_skeleton.xml".

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.
