I know how annoying it can be if you don't have any programming knowledge (assuming that, like myself, you don't). Especially with something as program heavy as PWLib (Although most of the things that you'll be doing are function calls)
That being said, trial (pun intended) and error can be essential a lot of the time, which boils my comments down to
"Idk try somthing, bro #Noclue"
I do have some tips for each of your problems, I guess.
For #1) Try looking through the .hlsl files that came with PWLib and see if there is a function for that, or if you skipped something in the tutorial book.
For #2) If it's a new character, you'll have to create that sprite, and if it's existing like Mr. Wright, I do believe that the first part of the Court tutorial covers that.
3) It should be the same as showing any character, except that you'll need to put them in the right position. This can be done in the character's .hlsl file
4) Apollo does not come with PWLib, so you will have to create him (There is a Character Creation tutorial towards the end of PWLib in a Nutshell. You'll get the hang of it after messing around with it a bit. Also, 2) and 3) should be easier with that tutorial. Furthermore, Paint.Net is a great tool for figuring out the sizes of your sprites, among SO MANY other things. It's pretty good for any kind of art and it's free.)
5) You can set up some fading, but I'm not exactly experienced so...idk
6) Cross Examination Tutorials should cover that, I think. PW in a nutshell.
7) stopmp3(); just that line of code and you can stop your music. Also don't mistake () for a 0. Sorry, saying it just in case.
One more thing, READ the tutorial and read it CAREFULLY if you really want to learn this stuff. Good luck!
