To create your own creature tattoos, just follow the steps below:
- Begin by running Paint (Start->Accessories->Paint) or your favorite
graphics program.
- Set the image size to 64x64 (in Paint, select Image->Attributes from
the menu and enter 64 for both the width and height, making sure the Pixels
button is checked).
- Set the image to grayscale (in Paint, select Image->Attributes from the
menu and check the Black and white button).
- Create your custom tattoo.
- Save the image as a 256 color (8-bit) bmp file named symbolx.bmp, where x
is a number from 1 through 16.
- Place the image in your profile directory (default is c:\program files\Lionhead
Studios Ltd\Black & White\profiles\yourname\ - where yourname is your
profile name).
- Run Black & White and visit the Creatue Cave - your new tattoo is
ready for use!
Note:
- For best results, draw your tattoo on a black background.
- To restore the default tattoos, remove your tattoo file from your profile
directory.
