custom ARCHERS?

[Squigweed]

now i know there are custom towers, there amazing, i have a series. Dungeon Crawl.
BUT will there be support for custom archers ever? im ok with there not being an official custom area for that but i have seen people somehow making new skins for archers. im assuming just taking the art files and editing them. would someone explain how i could do that myself, or tell me anything you know about the topic?

From my experience playing around in towerfall files (I made that red cyan archer you were jealous about :P ), there are two kinds of art mods.

First, you can edit the text file archerData, found in Content > Atlas > GameData, with notepad.
AngelBl0w made a guide on this subject : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=486713524. With this you can edit menu/trails/arrows/aimers colors, mix up sprites and other litle things.

Then, if you want to modify the sprites themselves, you need to edit the Atlas PNG file found under DarkWorldContent > Atlas for in-game sprites, and the menuAtlas PNG file found under Content > Atlas for menu sprites. I used Paint.NET, which is basically the poor man's version of photoshop. Finding the sprite you want to edit is quite annoying tho :P

Send me a friend request if you want to discuss this further! Otherwise don't forget to back everything up and have fun
