: : : I am trying to get the base_walk part of a sprite down.  The sequence I am using is 361 (green lady).  She showed up okay, but wouldn't walk (brain: 16).  I am using WinDinkEdit.  I put the sequence number in the base_walk field (361) and then ran my DMOD.  She disappeared.  She was still there as I was able to talk to her.  She was walking around alright, but was invisible.  HELP!  TIA!

: : I had the sprite set to hard.  Oops!  

: Hardness shouldn't have anything to do with vanishing. It sounds to me like you've slightly misunderstood what base_walk is. Base should not be the actual sequence, it should be a number (normaling one ending in 0 such as 360) that the game can add a direction number (based on the numaric keypad) to to get the real sequence number.

: For example, if you set base walk to 360, and the NPC walks to the right, it would add 6 to that and show the NPC with sequence 366.

I had set the base walk to 360, but when I had her as hard, she was either frozen or invisible. Getting rid of hard allowed her to walk around. Having the base walk at 360 works fine now.
