Master of Magic graphics format?

[I like Serena]

Tweaker doesn't seem to have the ability to write out a new FIGURE*.LBX or PORTRAIT.LBX, but given an encoder and decoder, it should be something I can do.

Be my guest!

FYI, I've been busy creating an LBX editor.
It works.
I'm just dotting the last i before releasing, making sure you can also replace a set of figure animations.

And I'll try at last to make Lucern's mod work.
He made quite an artistic effort.
Lucern drew all of the figures of a number of new races (amazons, centaurs, goblins, and so on).

Wow, you procrastinate a lot less than I do

Heh. Did you start with anything?

I saw it in the Tweaker, but did not found any thread that speaks about Lucern Mod.

BTW I'd like to get a new building with specific properties for each race, but with the same graphic. I thought of an Ankh, an ancient Egyptian symbol also used in Ultima, something like that:

Any artist is willing?

He posted in the welcome thread here.
I had off-line contact with him and he sent me his pictures (complete figure sets for Amazons, Centaurs, Necromancers, Gnomes, Goblins, Kobolds, Ogres, and Sylvans).
He intended them for new and extra races in Implode's remake.
But that's dormant now.

He didn't make much of a footprint here, but perhaps that will change if we start implementing his races!
We will still need appropriate characteristics for them...

What's that?
Elaborate?

I've read the (main) topics of the forum. Interesting.
I still do not understand what Lucern (mod) tool does in the Tweaker, but I do not understand a lot of stuff, so one more, one less...

I'm more than willing to implement (some) of his race in Standard (or Insecticide) MoM.

I've already read the description he makes of Goblin, Sylve and Centaurs and you can figure out most of the look and fell, not the detailed statistics.

Of course it will be much better if he could be around, but if he is too busy, we can create a stub, implement it and modify it when he is available.

My idea is to substitute up to 3 standard races with three of his own, Klackon, Lizardmen and Gnoll with Goblin, Sylve and Centaurs, maybe.


BTW The forum he linked in his welcome message (I overlooked it because I was looking for a thread, not a single message) is going to close, this is the new link for his thread on that forum:

Just in case a moderator is willing to change his message.

My idea is to create a new building that does something unique for each race.

I.E. The Ankh in an Orc city allow every unit built in that city to have chaos channel on it (like a local version of Doom Mastery).
The Ankh in a Klackon city summon a Queen Avatar (could be something like Thorin).
... and so on.

To avoid "expanding" the game I would like to substitute the Maritime Guild with the Icon of the Ankh and let build Warships from ShipYard + something else, like Armory or War College.

Unfortunately I'm not able to create it, so I need help.


On the other side, the technical implementation of the Lucern races is something I can done and it will be applied easily for the final user.
