    [Questions]
    Ask and we shall answer!
  • Is there a chance you could add custom made sprites for the server as a category too?
    Answer: Added!

  • Are we getting new cards?
    Answer: Possibly! I haven't heard a definite Yes or No about it yet. I'll try to keep you updated.

  • Do we need to test the headgear on our own server?
    Answer: You don't have to! You can rename the sprite and move it into your data folder, to see it in game. Only you will see the change by doing this. (Updated)

  • Do Armors count for the Sprite making category?
    Answer: No, they do not. Since it isn't a visible sprite. We're looking for Upper, Mid and Lower headgears that are seen when equipped.

  • What about wings?
    Answer: Yes you can do Wings since they hit the Lower headgear slot as well.

  • Why isn't Pouring on the list?
    Answer: Well, he wasn't! But now he is!

Is there a chance you could add custom made sprites for the server as a category too :D? I got some idea's but it would be nice if i could use them for a contest too.

RE: Creativity Contest! - Aaronock - 12-02-2012

Sounds fun, I think I have the perfect image idea already in mind for a loading screen. :>

Hey guys! Glad to see some responses here.

I know there were a few questions~??
Kittie, Yes!!
Laroc, yours has been addressed.

Laroc - Request for the Custom Porings, I'll start working on it and update as soon as possible. Due to the posting limit of 10 pictures a thread. I'll update the very first post with as many as I can squish in and edit the rest into this one ^_^

**Updated**

Kittie's question answered, still working on the pictures.

RE: Creativity Contest! - GM-Rahice - 12-02-2012

Updates!

Photos of the Custom Porings provided, and we added Nekoring to the list and to the pictures.

Added .SPR and .ACT to the Tools for usage.

New Category! - Headgear Sprite.
