[CF-Devel] potion images

[crossfire-devel-admin at archives.real-time.com]

There are a lot of different images for potions in the classic set.
In the basic set lots of potions look the same.
Thus i have created a set of differently colored potions in a
test tube style which should be suitable for the basic set.

I have no special suggestion as to which image should be used for
which potion type.

I also included a version of haggis.png where i added an alpha channel
to get transparency.
(neither my gcf/cf-client nor my gimp could see one in the other image.)

I tested the files by putting them into my ~/.crossfire/gfx dir.

There i had some trouble to find out how to do this.
I think the README in the client ought to be more precise about that.
"copy them into ~/.crossfire/gfx"
I couldn't tell if i should :
a) use the directory structure similar to arch
b) use the directory structure similar to .crossfire/crossfire-images
c) just put the files directly into gfx

c) is correct.

nor which naming scheme to use:

a) blah.111.base.0
b) blah.111.base.png
c) blah.111.0
d) blah.111.png

d) is correct.

Thus, i think a little example like in this diff might be helpful.

 way images are placed into the gfx directory is by the user actually

 images with versions he prefers.
