Hi

Um... how do I set about setting a custom character's avatar as something else, without using an outside file?

To put it simply:

I want to have various disguises for my main character, Agrippa. Undisguised, he is a Slayer. For example: one of the disguises is a goblin: I need to be able to have a goblin, with a Slayer's avatar, WITHOUT creating an outside file of that avatar.

Would that work? Can anyone help? Am I going mad? I don't know.


Thanks for taking the time to read this.

create a new character with base goblin, and i think you should be able to chose slayers avatar.

I've tried, it doesn't work - or if it does I can't see how...

Let's see if I can explain this properly:

Disclaimer: I'm not 100% sure this works. But the file size seems to be a lot smaller.

1) Go to the Character Management screen. (By clicking on the Charcters button in the script editor.)

2) You will see a list of 5 Characters on the left, and a picture of an avatar in the middle.

3) Click on "Custom Avatar", select the picture and click on "Delete", then press ESC.

4) For each the other 4 Characters, select each one, click the "Default" button, then select in the "Graphics" list the item "Slayer".

5) Press OK, then export the hold.

That doesn't seem to have worked either...

If I understand correctly, you'd like to have a goblin-looking NPC with a slayer avatar/portrait. This is not supported without the use of imported custom images.

Curses. So basically it can't be done without infringing copyright?

Yes, unless you ask for Caravel's permission, by emailing one of them...
