<h2>Needed graphics for the units</h2>
|
|
|
|
To an unit/building/object belongs an icon and some animations.<p>
|
|
Each unit/building/object has its portrait, which could be different for
|
|
each tileset.<p>
|
|
And following animations:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Standing
|
|
<li>Moving
|
|
<li>Attacking
|
|
<li>Dieing

|
|
<li>In use
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>The icon format</h2>
|
|
|
|
An icon has the size of 46x38 pixels. Currently all icons are stored in a
|
|
single file (I will change this, if required).<p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Unit file format</h2>
|
|
|
|
All images for all animations and headings are stored in an single file.
|
|
Currently the loader supports only <i>PNG</i> format.
|
|
The biggest needed size is taken for all images.
