Well I can't help with the programming end of this yet, but here is a graphical mock up of what needs to happen (I think/hope)\ (A tile-based method of a conical shaped spell) [attachment=1078:cone_spell.gif]

Occasionally my server shuts itself down, giving me the message like Authorization took too long, Server is shutting down. What's up with that? I would like the server to be always available. Thanks! -hap

Thank you for your replies, My Item Graphic PNG was not exactly 32x32 pixels therefore it did not show at all. Problem solved by adding transparent pixels around the edges… -hap

Maybe signing up for a free Managed DNS service will be the answer [http://www.noip.com/managed-dns](http://www.noip.com/managed-dns) NO-IP has been used by countless individuals to circumvent the exact issue you are having. HTH -hap

EDIT: My animations showed up after a few minutes (While I was writing this post as a matter of fact, with no interaction from me… strange!) Now waiting isn't even doing it... I can't get new Item graphics, or animations into my game today. :( Hello everyone thanks for wanting to help. I'm attempting and failing to add a new animation. Here's what I tried: I place the animation file (filename: 6.png) in the animations folder. Then i go to the server window and click reload Animations button. I see "All animations reloaded." in the Console. When I edit Animations it's still not there... I've even gone as far as to shut down and restart the server, thinking that maybe "reload" animations doesn't pick up on animations that weren't there when the server was started... Still no go... so finally a question: What is the method for adding a new animation? Thank you for reading! -Scott (a.k.a. hap)
