i cant find realistic medieval weapons or monsters in realm667, only fantastic.

For realistic medieval weapons as sprites, Witchaven is the best source I can think of.

Edit: And Witchaven II has some human enemies, but they look more like guys from an 80s sword & sorcery movie so I don't know if they're realistic enough for you.

Bouncy's Might and Magic resource has a few medieval style soldiers and knights.

I could really use a utility that will take a bunch of loose .PNGs and put them together into a single sprite sheet, something like this.

Criteria:
- Should arrange the sprites by input file name (i.e. your DUMBA1, DUMBA2A8, DUMBA3A7 and so forth should all come out neatly in order)
- Should arrange the sprites with reasonably even spacing around them. A bit of blank margin between them for cut 'n' paste edits are also useful.
- Should not scale the input sprites
- Should not rotate the input sprites
- Should be free (as in beer)
- Should work on Windows XP

I wouldn't have thought this was a lot to ask, but all the programs I've found so far either want to be 'clever' and 'optimize' the sheets, or they're actually thumbnailers that scale stuff down that I don't want scaled. I think when I was on Linux I'd worked out some arcane invocation of ImageMagick that worked, but I'd prefer a solution that's usable by human beings.

Sprite Sheet Packer might work for you, but it does not arrange it in order.

[ETTiNGRiNDER]

That was one of the ones I just tried, and as you say it scrambles the sprite order; worthless.

[GhostKillahZero]

Or how about DarkFunction? I haven't tested it out myself.

This also doesn't keep things ordered, though it at least allows the sprites to be dragged around manually after the fact. Still looking for something a little more automated than that, though.

[GhostKillahZero]

It looks like you have to be patient for more development in those two programs, Sure it's a pain doing it manually yourself, but it turns out looking great in the end though.

Anyone have the primary and secondary weapon sounds from Descent 3?

[GhostKillahZero]

Have you thought of extracting the data from the game itself? For what platform?

[xenoxols]

Is there a kick sprite that would work for a teenage mutant ninja turtle?(I could recolor it.) Also, there's a Descent 3?

have you considered just storing them in a .zip and calling it a day instead of making everyone that wants the sprites agonizingly cut them out?

I mean sure, sheets look good on paper - but they function rather badly.

Function rather badly? Ever try to recolor or edit something as individual sprites only? It's a pain to get them consistent that way.

Also, ETTiNGRiNDER, did you try Spricer yet? I couldn't get good results from it but you might be able to.

[zrrion the insect]

Does anyone know where I could get some smaller enemies for Heretic/Hexen? I'm looking for something smaller than the ettin. Just sprites would be fine, but a fully coded enemy would be tops.

[xenoxols]

Nevermind the kick, but does anyone know of a thermite grenade projectile sprite?
