Swords

I have a diamond force and when I look in my Q-Menu at the icon of it, it shows it fine except one thing is missing, the handle. I want swords to have handles so it doesnt look like we are swinging blades with no handles and it would also fit perfectly into the mold of the sword in the Q-Menu.

Handles would be a good thing, but...it'd be hard to make the gani if you use handles (I think.) I think Flame swords and Inferno swords should have more than just, like...what, 2 different pictures? (I'm refering to the flames on it.)

I don't think the flaming sword is a gani on repeat with two frames =/ I think they used a .gif for the animation x.x

When I said ganis, I was refering to the handles and stuff. When I was talking about the Flaming sword and Inferno sword, I was refering to their file (which I think is a .mng file, though I'm not 100% sure.)

They're .pngs for the swords, and no, it wouldn't be hard. You just have to put the sword handle under the hand, or etc O_o

Inferno sword is NOT a png file. It has multiple images, thus it is not a png file, to be exact, I think it is bsword22.mng in the sword folder in the levels folder in your graal folder.

.mng ... think animated .png

Due to copyright things unixmad is scared to use .gif for animations. So .mng is used.

Funny.
Why dont they just make there own type of file.
So noone can edit them.
Like the levels, theyre not openable.
But u can open them on graal make it so its not possible to do so.
You can use the images ON graal though.
Make a new type of file lile ... gdf graal data file example ( thepictureofhell.gdf

Hand=Arm
Under Hand = Under Arm
You see the dillemma - if the sword has a handle and the handle goes under the hand, the sword also goes under the arm, meaning you sever your own shoulder every time you draw your sword...
