[CF-Devel] FW: FW: rogue like games gfx (2nd)

[Peter Mardahl]

I agree that these tiles of his are very good.
However, they aren't the proper perspective for crossfire's PNG set.

If we're going to violate the perspective rule, I'd like to
see a lot of the existing xpm images taken verbatim into the png set,
so that we can keep the best of the xpm art.  A lot of the xpm
art is nearly as good as what this guy has produced.

      A editor where you can make new maps AND create new arches / animations.

      All goes up to 32x32 and true color.

      One more: we don't need xpm anymore. Its wasted space, time and it makes the
