Previously I reported that the latest release of Aleona's Tales failed to work for me on Windows 8.1, and after some fiddling with it I figured out the solution.
It appears that the problem was in PNG files, or to be more precise in a combination of faulty PNGs and missing or incorrectly arranged files. I've been able to fix these errors, and also made a few updates to some sprites using Nikita Sadkov's unused contributions and my own work. Skirmish works with all terrain types, as well as the campaign and the new game modes, although at least one map from the For the Motherland set failed to load, but it seems to be related to the map itself, not other game data.
Hi,
thanks for linking this here. I am going to close the issue, since there's nothing to be done for Wargus here. Personally, I prefer the Warcraft 2 sprites, but there's not arguing about taste :)
