DROD 4 does not have it, and neither does DROD 5. We are restricted to only being able to use one picture for custom walls, custom floors, and custom pits. Why is it so? Why can't we have a unique picture for each item?

Because of making the user interface simple. It is really rare that you would need more than one image of each type and if you really absolutely need to have more you can easily compose multiple images into one for a give room.

If it was possible to have multiple image floors per room, you'd need to be able to have infinite number of image floor options in the element selection screen, one for each image, because you somehow have to draw it, eh?

Also it's for the simplicity of the engine.

You can now use the "Image Overlay" script command on, say, "layer 0" if you want to change the floor appearance in multiple localized areas of a room.

I think I understand what you both mean. This is just be clear. I would like to use a custom image for some walls, which would be different from another custom image for a pit.

Yes. Try out the "Image Overlay" script command. Read the help docs for what you can do.

I read through the docs. I simply do not understand it. I will be quite about this idea. for now.

This. Your image editor is your friend.
