I'm not sure what you mean by "brightness sprites."
You have to use the PointLight?

Hum ... when someone downloads the gzdoom comes a wad called lights (you know WHAT is) wanted to know if you have to leave the lighted decorations or around them, which command that uses ... sorry my English is the translator :|

Not before I post my tutorial on digitizing figures into sprites!

Well.... I'm working on it either way...

i think we should just wait until Eriance posts his redesigned custom sprite tutorial.

I think this should be stickied, it's really helpful, and I've linked it to people many times.

I wasn't aware that this thread was still even in the database. o_o Guess I'll just post my new tutorial here, if I finish it this weekend. :/

Nice necro-bump. Also, is that the title of a new book you're making? I Think That Is A Good Title For A Book Too. :P

Yes, GIMP is sufficient. The very little spriting I do is done with GIMP. But you'll need a document scanner or a tablet if you want to base your sprites off of hand-drawn images.

Gimp should be sufficient, but naturally the steps will need to be adapted to GIMP's interface.

Really, any decent image editor should be usable for spriting, and if you got patience you can even use MS-Paint.

Would Gimp Be A Good Editor For This?

But nice map and monster edits though! Can't wait to play that.

But does anyone have the pics for this tutorial?
Oops, hehe my bad. Thought you were talking to me, lol.

My monster edits are incomplete however, I plan to change another of its features soon to make it look a little less like the original.

I want to make an original monster for my duke3d map like Eriance has done here, and because the basics in sprite animation between Duke3d and Doom are so similar, this is good practice for me.
