About LTG (LaserTank Graphics).
1. INSPIRATION.
Visit this:
http://pages.globetrotter.net/lasertank/LT_Utility/start2.htm
On this pages you can find about 150 LTGs.
Download and unzip them onto your disk, not
necessarily in the same directory as
LaserTank.exe. (In the game, after you click
on "Options" > "Change Graphics ...", you will
see the "Change Directory" button so you can
browse the LTG files.) Notice that, each LTG
file has "ltg" extension, not "bmp" extension.
2. LEARNING.
Visit this Files Section:
http://pages.globetrotter.net/lasertank/LT_Utility/start3.htm
Click on "Misc" (at the left of the monitor.)
Download and unzip "LTG_Starter_Kit" and
"How_to_mask.txt". FB (the author) explains
everything you want to know about making LTG.
3. THE LTG EDITOR.
You make the GBMP.bmp (game bitmap file) and
MBMP.bmp (mask bitmap file) using your
favorite image editing program. MS Paint will
do, but a more powerful program (like Corel
Photo-Paint or Adobe Photoshop) will be better.
The utility program (LTG Editor) "ltgraph.exe"
will combine the two files (GBMP.bmp and
MBMP.bmp) into one file "file_name.ltg" (the
final product.)
The LTG editor can be downloaded from:
http://pages.globetrotter.net/lasertank/LT_Utility/start3.htm
Click on "Applications" (at the left of the
monitor.) Download and unzip "LTG_Editor.zip".
Bye,
