Net Hack Sprite sheet v1.1

Description

This has been a bit of a project of mine since I started playing Net hack about a month ago. I found the original sprites were quite ugly and although there have been a few good partial sheets, nobody has made a complete one. So I've taken those partials, and merged them into one as I work and making a complete sheet.

This is a work in progress, its something I work on from time to time and try to get at least one monster type updated, so that you can at least tell what it is.

References;
Background: Itakura's NetHack Tiles

Monster types a - r (first ~2.5 rows); Pixelhack

From sprites found on Pixeljoint
I used Soldier #1&2, Knight #1, and the Dragoon to replace the "Yendorian army" sprites.
Had to use their Elf sprites to play with their elf sprites to be able to make 2 of the missing sprites to have all 6.
I prefered the Winter Wolf, Hellhound, and Warg sprites here for the "d" monster type.
Vortexes, Oracle, Medusa, Shop Keeper, Wizard of Yendor were also used.
Knight #2 was modified to be the Knight character sprite.

I made the wizard character sprite using Red Wizard for reference.

Monk class was made using Shaolin Monk Renderings

Samurai Class came from a FFT Sprite sheet.

Priest class came from The People's sprites

I think thats everyone, if I missed a reference I am very sorry. Gnomes were drawn by me with no particular reference of note. Just took the basic shape and remade them.

If you use the NetHack windows GUI, and you don't already know how to change the sprites, simply add;

OPTIONS=tile_file: SpriteSheetName.bmp, tile_width:32, tile_height:32

to your "defaults.nh" file in your nethack folder. Make sure the sprite sheet is also in this folder.

I will update this as I get more sprites done. I think the Zombies are the highest on my todo list since I seem to encounter them alot :lol:


Update 1.1 (January 31,2010)

New: Rock mole (r), Woodchuck (r), Centipede (s), Unicorn's (s), Long worm (w), Purple worm (w), Black light (y), Couatl (A), Archon (A), Raven (B), Centaur's (C), (Invisible) Stalker + Elementals (E)

References of note;
Couatl - AD&D Monster manual 2.0 (I think... It was one of the MM's)
Archon - D&D 4E Monster Manual (Though it sure doesn't look it anymore)
Fire Elemental - Fire Man - Mega Man soccer
Water Elemental - Water Elemental - Dragon View

I particularly love how the worms and elementals turned out ^_^ thats all for now, I should have more done in a few days.
