My friend, you are putting the file in the wrong place, I suspect. Remember, this is to replace GeneralTiles.bmp, not one of the Style#Tiles.bmp files.

I'll get back to this in about a week and a half, I think, school has jumped up and kicked me in the.... you know what I mean.

Ouch.... Good luck with school. I can't wait until the next release of BIS; it's really good. It's totally changed the atmosphere of all the holds I've played.

Thank you, that's encouraging to hear. I know what I'm doing with the doors, it's just a matter of finding time to do it. And then I need to figure out what to do with some level tileset, which should take less time since it's a smaller bitmap (sort of).

Seems when it's not school, it's the computers themselves. The school computer I'm working on just rebooted itself for no obviously apparent reason, tossing out four hours of my work along with it, preventing me from having any hope at all of submitting my assignment on time. Doesn't this sound like fun?

No.

To quote Jason Fox:

"Don't think of it as your worst nightmare come true. Think of it as a valueable lesson in data backup."

Seriously, though. I feel your pain and wish you the best of luck. Hopefully your teacher will accept the excuse and give you an extension.

Ouch I would never go 4 hours without saving. Personally I save all the time just so this sort of thing never happens.

oh, I was saving, I just wasn't counting on the computer seemingly randomly erasing my work for no reason. Anyway, for my four hour loss I got a fifteen hour extension, so the pressure is eased a little.

Ooch.

Does your lab have "Deep Freeze" or somesuch installed?

It deletes all files on the "non-approved" list whenever you reboot. This stops ALL viruses and keeps the harddrive from being cluttered, but it bites for long-term storage.

There's usually a link to an exempt computer. It's not labeled as such but I found it in all 4 labs that I've visited in my life.

Put up a screenshot, then, because I have no idea what you mean.

Ok, you know the f buttons? Like f1, the traditional help button? Well further to the right is another row of buttons. You know, above the "big six" of insert, home, pageup, delete, end, and pagedown?

The leftmost one is print screen.

No, it puts an image in your "paste" memory. Now you paste the picture in paint, and then save. Then attach it to your message.

If you want to do the sounds, please feel free to do them. That much less work for me to do I'll presume that you know how to make them work in the game, but if you don't then just let me know and I'll fill you in.

when a red door opens, can it be a big ass explosion?

No, make it sound like a laser deactivating. Then orbs can make a beeping sound.

For green and red doors dropping, I was thinking something more like a powering-down sound. The doors are going to be energy fields of the appropriate colour.

Powering-down is sort of what I meant.

What about sounds for the "Neather?

No...

Just replace the sound files.

You would only need to code in extra sound files for monsters and things in the new 1.7 that are not in 1.6.

I don't have any plans to redo this for 1.7. For one thing, I only have so many ship ideas that can fit in a 14x14 (22x22) surface area...

I also don't really look forward to playing with the new tileset configurations in 1.7 trying to make it look like space. Though it could be easy to create the illusion of stars in the background...
