2010: Modifications and Graphics

MAYDAY Doctor Dwarfs

I cut and pasted some of Beefmo's sprites that are used in the MAYDAY graphics to create some medical dwarves. These can be used for doctors (left) and the chief medical dwarf (right). You can install them by opening the graphics file that you're using and copying and pasting them to an empty spot in the file. Then edit the graphics_text.txt in the graphics folder and insert these lines.

 [CHIEF_MEDICAL_DWARF:DORFS:X:Y:AS_IS:DEFAULT]
 [DOCTOR:DORFS:X:Y:AS_IS:DEFAULT]

The X:Y refer to the X,Y coordinates that you're new sprites are in the file.
