I believe like the gears in the Training Hall or the Flame Spout in the Oubeliette, the Whirlpool is actually a group of animated characters with "Ghost Display" checked on.

No, it's both simpler and more complex than that.

Take one of these:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/lki7pyoacusfxhy/whirlpool_4x4.png

And create an NPC that does this:

  Image overlay 1,setx 316 sety 300 setalpha 70 layer 0 rotate -360 4000 loop -1
  Image overlay 1,setx 320 sety 300 setalpha 70 layer 0 setangle 240 rotate -360 3000 loop -1
  Image overlay 1,setx 318 sety 304 setalpha 70 layer 0 setangle 120 rotate -360 3500 loop -1


Use the text in each command for the Image Overlay script, assigning it the image I've provided.

The link above to the image doesn't work anymore.

Are we still allowed to use this image in our holds?

I would imagine so since the whirlpool image is in the TSS Custom Elements hold:

http://forum.caravelgames.com/viewtopic.php?TopicID=38640

And this:

How do you extract an image file from a hold?

You go to http://forum.caravelgames.com/downloads.php and download "DROD:TSS Custom Elements Bonus Pack v1.2" which has the whirlpool images in it.
