How would I go about making a 32x32 Tektite that shoots fireballs?
As far as sprites, I'll want to make one that faces left, one that faces
right, and a firing sprite for each direction. And can I increase his
jump height?

For a 32x32 tektite, you'll need a script. Fortunately, I believe a script like that exists in the script database... somewhere. To the best of my knowledge, tektites can't be assigned weapons, so you'd need to script that too. But that's easy enough, the script would just attack a fireball shooter to him.

The weapon doesn't have to be hardcoded by the script, as Tektites CAN be assigned weapons via the enemy editor, but they can't be used unless scripted to do so. For the enemy editor to tell the script to use the weapon that is assigned to the enemy, use npc->Weapon in something like this (may not be nessarly correct code):

CODE

npc tektite = Screen->CreateNPC(NPC_TEKTITE1);
[...] //Whatever code goes here.
FireEWeapon4Way(tektite->Weapon);
