I'm having trouble using alternative sprites for custom weapons - I can manage to get custom projectiles working but not custom weapons. Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong or how I could do it right?

You should probably say precisely what you're doing. What custom images have you created, precisely? Where are you putting them (somewhere under resources.dat/img, presumably)? What filenames are you giving them, and where are you referencing those filenames from your blueprint definitions? And when it's "not working", what behaviour do you see?

My procedure has been this:
duplicate standard weapon sprite and modify
rename weapon sprites using standard syntax (e.g. missiles_1z_strip3.png)
place in folder /img/weapons inside .ftl zip file
copy entry from animations.xml and paste into an append file
modify to fit sprite names (e.g. missiles_1z if I'm using missiles_1z_strip3 and missiles_1z_glow)

Hopefully this should help anyone who wants to give me info.
