Help Forum Breed Sprites?    Uzag        7/20/2010 Can someone explain how the breed-sprite-file-naming-system works? I'm completely lost and stumbling around at random when trying to find certain breed sprites :c All I can see is that they seem to be made out four symbols, like a42k, but I'd like to know what these letters and numbers stand for. Thanks!   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     7/20/2010 There's a page that explains how it works but I can't remember the address, so I'll just explain it myself. The first digit indicates which body part the sprite file corresponds to. A = head B = body C = left thigh D = left shin E = left foot F = right thigh G = right shin H = right foot I = left humerus J = left radius K = right humerus L = right radius M = tail root N = tail tip The second digit is a bit more complex, it indicates species AND gender. 0 or 4 = male or female Norn 1 or 5 = male or female Grendel 2 or 6 = male or female Ettin 3 or 7 = male or female Geat The third digit indicates age. 0 for baby 1 for child 2 for adolescent 3 for youth 4 for adult 5 for old 6 for ancient Most breeds only have sprites for baby, adolescent, adult and old, and the missing ages use the sprites from the previous life stage automatically. The last digit is simply the breed slot. So the head spritefile for the adult female ChiChi Norn is a44d, the left foot for an adult Banshee Grendel is e14b, and a42k would be the head spritefile for the adolescent/youth female of whatever is in Norn Slot K.   Uzag     7/20/2010 That explanation was awesome, very clear and easy to understand. Thank you very much! ^_^   Don     7/20/2010 The info is all at the Creatures Wiki too: http://creatures.wikia.com/wiki/Sprite Don AmberCreatures
