Heh, that got your attention eh?

Okay, Ive set up a wargames campaign set in Ancient Greece at my forums and I was wondering if you would have any objections to my depicting the battles using images from your game 'Spartan'?

If you have no objection to this Id appreciate it if you could let me have images showing front / back / side views of the following types of units......

Hoplites
Peltasts
Psiloi (Javelins will do)
Cavalry (javelin armed & unarmoured)

(Ideally shown on a plain grassland surface so that I can photoshop them seamlessly)

To contact me out of the forums you can email me on duckofwar@msn.com

Cheers

(PS this is a fun game only, no charges are made to players)

Hope to hear from you soon

Hi DuckofWar,

we'd need to know more about the project really to be able to make a decision. Using our graphics in other games is of course competition

You can mail info@slitherine.co.uk with more info and we'll consider it!

let me rephrase that....

I replied to your email and then replied to an email that requested that I (should I want to send you an email) should type a word into a box......

Did you get my email?

*confused*

Thanks for the 'green light' Iain, appreciate it...

erm how do i take 'snapshots' from spartan?

Is there a function key that does the job and where are images stored please?

No, you'd need to take a screen shot with the print screen button. That puts the image in the clipboard & you can then paste it into any art package or even word.

Yowch..... okay m8 - thx again - can I run the game in a window to make things a bit easier?

If so - how?

In the data dir - edit user.txt. Add the line
Fullscreen 0

sorry to say that didnt work, the game occupied 50% of a black screen (the left side) and was completely purple.....

Your desktop must be 16 bit / hi colour to run the game in a window.
