Hi DtS,
Hope the lurgy isn't getting you down too much - rest and fluids is as good a solution as any, usually...
Well, the folder isn't free any more, it now has the cataphract horse in it
I'm still looking at the possibility of a two-horse BIF, looks like it would need a 768x768, and there's some number-crunching to do for the scaling, but I'll be trying it out in due course (so long as the numbers work). The one worry is whether it will have weird interactions with riders - and I have a horrible feeling it will. But suck it and see....
Got the Armenian Cataphracts sorted out for shields and weapons, and found an uncharacteristic error in Duke John's action pages, which was causing the riders to hover above their horses from some angles - the unit 'origin' was 2pixels out. Oh, and some of those had too many legs - I had to do a few amputations
But all looks good now, and I really discovered the hidden powers of BIFreader for setting shields and weapons. It's the tool I always wanted and never realised I had it all along! It has still taken me best part of a day to get it all crack on, but it IS all crack on. Now I know what it can do, there's soooo much I can fix that has been bugging me (especially in the 'hovering weapons' and 'implausibly large shields' departments - there are even some of these bugs in original MTW, iirc).
I have a few more ideas up my sleeve, so will have a good play, and if they work out .. watch this space.
Cheers for now, and look after yourself.
