crossbowman

Post by b_o »

This is a work in progress for the crossbowman based on the WC1 version with xBRZ applied. I still want to make a new head and maybe a new crossbow for this unit, as well as touch up a lot of stuff. It uses the same animation code as the spearman, except the unit size of the crossbowman is 64*64 instead of 72*72. I thought I'd add it here before it's finished in case I don't finish it, or in case someone wants to use it as a placeholder:

Edit: I've modified the Danath head and stuck it on here, but I still have a lot of work to do on this:

thanks, though it needs a lot of work, even after the update.

Note, I've added an updated version to the bottom of the first post.

Should I try to re-use the footman or peasant legs for the crossbowman, or should I use the original crossbowman legs?

Footman legs look the best, maybe with a leather colour scheme.

I prefer the orginal one but the footman looks good too. I agree you should rework it to be leather though.

Wonderful job b_o. May I use it in my mod for Wargus? My crossbowman doesn't look so good.

I don't really consider it mine since its based on the wc1 sprite, but I also never finished it. I was making it for the WC1 remake in the WIP, but as far as I know, nobody is working on that anymore. You might want to check out some of the wyrmsun sprites for your mod. There should be a human archer made for it probably some time next month, and I imagine it will be better than what I've done with the crossbowman sprite.
