There is a free graphic program I have used for a while now called gimp [http://www.gimp.org/](http://www.gimp.org/). It is very popular with people who make custom content for Neverwinter Nights and has a lot of useful features. Worth giving it a try. P.S. The link I gave is **NOT AN ILLEGAL DOWNLOAD**. The program is freely distributed by its creators who choose not to charge for it.

Thanks for that. I did have an idea though. The change sprite function may be the thing to assign different action animations. For example when casting a spell a script can be put in place that will first change the to a sprite appropriate for the class and gender that does glowing had motions in each of the 4 directions, cycle through the images, cast the spell, then change back to the original sprite. Shame that I neither own nor know how to use visual basic. I do know how to program in basic however. Learned 20 years back when I used to own a Commadore 64 lol. That wont be much help though :P Anyway if my idea proves possible then variations on sprites can be made for several actions the character will be capable of. I'll mess around with it and see what I can do.

Hi. I'm new to the Eclipse community and so far I am liking what I have learned so far. Something I do want to ask about is the number of pictures that make up the movement of the character sprites. At present it is a total of 12 images with 3 images assigned to 1 of the 4 directions the player can move. What I want to know is if it is possible to expand upon the amount of images that can by used for a sprites movements so that they could be animated better. Say 5 images per direction. And also would it be possible to add extra movements so that the character can walk in 8 directions instead of 4 and do things like spell casting gestures and swinging weapons when attacking? I just realized that I did not post this where I thought I was posting it. I thought I was posting this in QUESTIONS. Sorry about that. As i said I'm new here :cheesy:
