Better Looking Character Selection Screen

[hagefade]

Hi, basically I want to change the character screen.
In the create character menu it has the sprite of how the character will look, while walking. How do I make it show the sprite of the character is a slot is used and how do I make it show a blank box if the slot is unused?

No one knows how?

it would have to be a source edit. Unfortunatey I know nothing about source edits.  :P

Ya I know it would be a source edit cause I could see the one in the new character screen while in VB6.

Your paragraph confuses me.

Okay so because I want to know how to make a walking image of the character for the character selection screen like the one in the character creation screen. You know in the creation screen it has a character walking, male, female, of the class you choose. How do I do that but not have it as a set sprite, but as the sprite of the character?

theres no easy way to do this.
you need to get a copy of Visual Basic 6 and open up the project.

You can use either a loop or a timer (go with a loop) to draw the sprite walking

it requires knowledge of either directdraw or GDI rendering.

Well it doesn't need to be walking, basically I just want an image of the sprite of the player's character standing there, if the slot is unused it just should be black.

a bltToDC would do it. with Eclipse's current set up, not too easy to do.

if it was properly set up, 1 line of code would do it

you're gonna have to learn some directDraw..or some of the GDI functions
