I got some more names:
Finnchaem (Cu Chulainn's aunt in Irish Mythology)
Fionnchad(h) (A figure mentioned once in Lady Gregory's Gods and Fighting Men, very obscure)
Fugutaiten (To be absolutely irreconcilable, Chinese/Japanese, used by one band and uh...nothing else)

Last last thing!
I decided to call the new wallmap drawing tool Draw instead of Line, and instead tweaked Draw and renamed it Stamp. This one is useful for both keyboard and mouse controls. You select a wall bit or "all" and then draw with it. Can use the mouse wheel, though I don't recommend it. Notice that I press H once, and then hold down Space to add or remove lines of Harm tiles. Someone should have thought of that earlier!

....Fhtagn?
Making a few small touch ups here and there graphically to Vikings of Midgard. I don't have anything truly mind-blowing to show off (yet), but I figure if I at least make an attempt to do SOME work, the rest will follow in due time.
(EDIT) I wonder what would happen if I made all the character sprites use Walktall

yea... i think that should be built in too, considering how may people use that script these days.
support for other graphic sizes too please.
walk_huge.hss for the win!

If I were starting Vikings over from scratch, that's something I'd have done on day 1 :3 That, and non-tile based walking. But I hear rumors that those two things may be coming SOONâ„¢Bob the Hamster wrote:Gosh dang it, tall walkabouts as a built-in feature has got to come sooner or later! You are twisting my arm, Fenrir ;P

Actually, non-tile-based walking isn't something which I was planning to work on all that soon, although I think it deserves a high priority (and I know I said so recently). I don't know what James's plans are, though. He's been keeping quiet. :)

One of my priorities getting mouse support finished in game, including any finishing touches to click-to-walk A-star pathfinding for heroes.
I haven't given a lot of though yet to how A-start pathfinding can be reconciled with pixel movement. You can't just treat your tile-size as 1-pixel, that would balloon the search space by 400x
One possibility might be to do the tile-based pathfinding as normal, but instead of just fetching the next step in the path, fetch the next 2 steps in the path
Then move pixelwise towards the second tile. If pixel-based walking and pixel-based wall collisions are implemented, then that should allow walker to go diagonally, and to make tight corners when their collision box is smaller than the map tile size.
Hopefully when built-in pixel-based wall collisions are finished, and when a-star pathfinding has a good scripting interface, somebody will test that theory for me and/or script a better method, that can later be implemented as a built-in option.
