For reasons described in this post, I'd love it if NPCs had a "Change Graphic" command. (Hopefully that's clear enough without further elaboration.)

Additionally, there should definitely be a "Set sword on/off" command, for the npc, that is.
Even better if it stays that way when you "Turn into monster".
I love having chickens with the Roach AI.

I agree whole-heartedly with both commands.

Same here. This would have some serious potential.

In the interests of not adding conflict, I agree.

Isn't there already an imperative to turn the NPC sword on/off? But yeah, Change Graphic would be nice...

I agree. I'm making NPCs that are walls that open when you are near them in the right area.;)Example: See attachment.

Get it?:yes

Except that for that:

(a) You can't use Caravel's images for your NPCs anyway (i.e., their wall images);
(b) You don't want the NPC to change appearances, because it'd still be there and thus still block the player--instead, you want the NPC to disappear (and reappear);
(c) You could always get around the whole thing by having a nearby builder remove and replace the wall.

Also,

(d) Your JPEGs smell of BMP and their father was a hampster.

(Man, learn making *real* JPEGs already! It's not *that* hard, but it does involve more than just changing the file extension... :huh)
