About cloud's arm i fixed it already so it is ok, about the avatars instead, i was waiting for Ravi our pixel artist (now in the middle of tgca project) to make some good avatars from dirge of cerberus and advent children.
Reading that post you also noticed that i cant do that for the problem i told you, anyway i think is better to start creating this avatars, if you want you can do it yourself and thx, but post some screens so we can start thinking about fixing the background of the avatars from black to white or someone else.
Ah right i almost forgot, i want to change completely or until it is possible the menu windows and cursors, and together with the summons, i was thinking about changing the textures of spells and attacks (if i remember correctly this ones are stored inside magic and battle.lgp respectively) and magic attacs are modeled too so that will need some time, about the phisical attacks and gun shots, they all are simply textures 256 colors, and for that we need to use some basic painting program, even paint itself can be good.
Anyway when i can resume my work, my first goal is to finish all possible characters and summons, then the menu and finally all miscellaneous. I was working on the save point too, i created it from scratch but was easy enough with blender, even if i used to give some fix on it too in 3dsmax. For the save point i was thinking about something better, but we will think about it later.
Ah yeah try using blender, is totally different from 3dsmax (i cant use it good yet) but is freeware, so maybe you can check it out.
I want a new battery charger!!!
