Infested Corridors brings up an interesting point - since the server does not store style files, the H&S image generation software can't generate images for Infested Corridors, since it can't find the Volcano style images.

I'm quite certain there's going to be work done in this direction in the future, but for now could the software render rooms that it doesn't have a style for using the City style, just as the game does? That way the rooms and the minimap would actually show up on H&S and people could actually see the rooms, if not in their actual graphics, then at least the components, objects, and monsters therein.

Actually, the room image generation software is offline at the moment because it can't handle 3.1 holds yet. Once that it fixed, it will at least be able to generate images with a default style.

Alrighty, the room generation software is back up and running. It's got the known custom styles imported as well, so it will correctly generate rooms made in those styles.

Great! The Infested Corridors rooms all show up now, and in their nifty Volcano style.

Could there be a list kept somewhere which contains which styles (custom and "included") the H&S image generation software currently supports?

It will always support whatever styles are used in holds on the Holds board. That is, once someone uploads a hold using a style that it doesn't support, I'll add it. Some day when I get around to it, this will be automatic.
