The Sprites Box
The sprite box presents the available graphics files for each sprite representing the highlighted landscape type in the LandscapeTypes box. There may be multiple options (i.e., picture files) for each landscape types.
Buttons for the Sprites Box
Add Sprite. This button allows the addition of a new option (i.e., graphics file) in the sprite box to represent the highlighted landscape type in the LandscapeTypes box.
Select as Pencil. When an option (i.e., graphics file) is highlighted in the Sprite box, this button activates the drawing tool. If the map button is then pressed, the selected option (i.e., graphics file) can be used to paint terrain in the map window.
Sprite Buttons These three buttons modify how a sprite appears on the hex. The right-most button allows a picture file to be chosen that represents the underlying sprite of the selected landscape type. The center button places another layer on the underlying sprite to modify the underlying layer. The third button adds an additional graphics file that extends slightly beyond the original hex (e.g., to represent the peak of a mountain. The effect of these three layers is illustrated in this sprite overlay example.
