Yes, you do. Any picture in electronical form/file can be used as a face/animation of players. The file has to be in one of PNG, gif,JPG, PCX or BPM format, but only with the size 154x157 points (width x high).
There are 4 types of files - NORMAL, MOUSE OVER(when you move mouse over the figure), WIN (you are winner), LOSE (you are loser). The names of files are referred from the file "FACES.XML". There are predefined faces in MAIN MENU/OPTIONS/ LOCAL PLAYERS/ CHANGE IMAGE "user pictures", then you can only rewrite already existing files, e.g.
user001a.png
user001d.png
user002a.gif
user002d.gif
user003a.jpg
user003d.jpg
user004a.pcx
user004d.pcx
user005a.bmp
user005d.bmp
"a" files are normal pictures, "d" files are for "MOUSE OVER" event. The files are stored in Pixoria subfolders, e.g.
C:\Program Files\Pixoria\gfx\user\user001a.png
When you start Pixora game again, go to MAIN MENU/OPTIONS/ LOCAL PLAYERS and by means of arrows CHANGE IMAGE choose your new face.
These files are downloaded by internet opponent during the internet game, when there is set item MAIN MENU/SETUP/DOWNLOAD OPPONENT'S ANIMATION (YES).
When you choose your face in MAIN MENU/OPTIONS/LOCAL PLAYERS menu, then files are referred newly from "ENGINES.XML" file, as files are already assigned to you (local human engine). General format for animated faces is "FLC". It is harder to create such one, but the result is the best.
Animated "gif" files are not supported.
