Sprite Success!!!
My final idea worked!
I successfully imported new sprites into LOD files and they worked perfectly!
Now this is not a photoshop - it is original screenshot from the game!
I know that there is another way, more harder but more effective. But I like this one - it is easy and fast!
I tested only 1 sprite but it looks the same as I created. Maybe there might be some problems if I will use fully animated sprites but for now I see the results and I like them!

Do not call me lord - i feel shy.
My avatar is real picture of me but with changed contrast grade.
But skin is too pale for the elf, maybe I should to play with shadows.
I'll try to do full animations and test them in game.

I'm not sure if it will be possible to do so.
NPC requires 84 sprites so this is hard to create them.
Now I created all 84 image sequence of elf but not render him yet. Maybe he will look oddy when moves

It worked!
I've tested more than 1 sprite and look at this!
He is dancing
But visible only without blending effects.
This week I'l try to do an addon for you with new elf to look.

It will be first try so they may be goofy-animated.
New sprites will serve to new abilities! As you might remember I was planing to do Fairies from Warlocks. Fairy has got wings so she can fly! But warlock do not have wings so it will be strange to see them flying.
Anyway doing sprites is hard work. I won't replace all monsters! Maybe this elf will be the one that changed.

In theory you could just set up camera angles in your 3d modeler, create and rig your model, and just render it from all views. The first one would be a pain, but you should be able to use the first one as a template for the others.
The sprite needs to be higher resolution IMO, but if it takes to long to render that's understandable.

resolution does no matter - there is a color limits that can't be passed.
BDJ changes size of the spiders but i'm not sure if it will be good to make smaller images from big ones.
Ofcouse better to do big titan's sprite and do not scale it.

The sprites are only visible with software 3D, with hardware accelerated 3D are only the old sprites visible. I think this is because the game seperates the sprites. SPRITES.LOD is for software 3D and d3dsprite.hwl is for hardware 3D, but I'm not sure, because I can not view the file with mm7view.

Really? So is it possible to make better, clearer textures? I would like to see better looking stone and grass textures. Like a "High-Res" texture pack, with the limitation of the color palette. The textures are not looking that bad, they are only to small. I'm talking about the standard textures not the ones that are new. :-)resolution does no matter

colors of textures are coded somewhere else!
I tryed to replace sand -> into snow. But in game snow still was colored like a sand
Whatever texture you will insert - colors are limited but where I do not know.
