Transfer graphics from dungeon master

Post by jm256 »

Hello all!

My objective is simple. As I consider the graphics in CSB ugly (in comparison to dungeon master (PC)), I would like to replace several most irritating images of monsters from DM PC.
I have a tool to import and export files from amiga disk format. We have also tools to edit graphics dat files. However, as I know, there may be problems with palettes incompatibility between dungeon master and chaos strikes back. For instance, well-known magenta worms are no longer magenta in chaos strikes back. Instead they are brown/yellowish. It is very ugly to me. They have renamed it to Armoured Worm, but that does make it better either. Also two other monsters - Swamp slime and Water elementals. The last is blue in DM PC, however it is merely transparent, hard to see in CSB version. Renamed to Rive. I do think that these are the same monsters, but represented by different graphics.
Has anyone thought about transferring such graphics or even do we have it done already anywhere by anyone? Does this graphics irritate you as well? I think we should make it. It is really irritating to me.
