Slay Themes

To create your own theme you need to make a copy the Medieval.skn file and the Medieval folder which can both be found in the "Themes" folder where you installed Slay to. Rename the files to whatever you want, for example MyTheme.skn and a folder called MyTheme. Next, open your MyTheme.skn file using any text editor such as Notepad. This is what the default file looks like:

description=Conquer the island with your medieval army

graphics=medieval\medieval.bmp

sound_pick_up=medieval\Up.wav
sound_put_down=medieval\Down.wav
sound_capture=medieval\Down.wav
sound_add=medieval\Add.wav
sound_oi=medieval\oi.wav
sound_kill_man1=medieval\Grunt.wav
sound_kill_man2=medieval\Grunt.wav
sound_kill_man3=medieval\Grunt.wav
sound_kill_man4=medieval\Grunt.wav
sound_kill_castle=medieval\Grunt.wav
sound_kill_capital=medieval\Grunt.wav
sound_kill_tree_coastal=medieval\Down.wav
sound_kill_tree_everywhere=medieval\Down.wav

name_man1=Peasant
name_man2=Spearman
name_man3=Knight
name_man4=Baron
name_castle=Castle
name_capital=Capital
name_tree_everywhere=Pine Tree
name_tree_coastal=Palm Tree
name_grave=Grave

colour1=0,255,0
colour2=192,192,0
colour3=0,128,0
colour4=255,255,0
colour5=0,192,0
colour6=128,128,0

Give your theme any description that you want to suit your theme in the description= line.

You'll need to rename all the "medieval\" entries to point to your new folder "MyTheme\". Use a paint program such as Paintbrush to open and edit the .bmp file to change the default graphics to whatever you want to use. If you rename this file to MyTheme.bmp make sure you modify the graphics= line in the .skn file too!

Place your own .wav files in your MyTheme folder and modify the sound entries in the sound= lines to point at them.

You can rename any of the objects in the name= lines to suit your theme.

The six colour entries describe the "theme default" colours. The numbers represent red, green, blue values and each can go from 0 to 255.




If you've made your own themes and you'd like to have them listed here, please zip the .skn and its directory together and email them to sean@windowsgames.co.uk.
