How Do I Add Units to units_32?

[Killer_Klein]

I was wondering how I can add units to units_32.

I find that Zulu's current one is missing a couple of the ones that I need for a mod I'm trying to work on in my almost none existing free time and I find it confusing so I figured I make my own. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

Thanks

Basically, you open up the units_32 file in a graphic editor and use cut and paste. A quick summary of what I do:

In general, though, to add a unit what I have done is to open the unit animation in Flicster using the Rome palette (civ color 1 I think; the red one), made a screenshot, and then pasted it into an empty box in the units_32. Note that you probably want to save out the palette of the units_32 file and increase the color depth to 24-bit before pasting and then bring it back to 8-bit and reapply the palette afterwards.
