Hello, I've created a facility by means of which some xpms or pngs can be replaced with custom images. Here is how you use the alternate images: 1) From sourceforge, cvs checkout alternate_images 2) cd alternate_images; sh filename_changer (this links all files with - in them to files with that - replaced with _, which the server likes.) 3) Link the alternate images into your crossfire/lib directory: ln -s ../alternate_images . 4) make collect 5) make 6) make install Now you will have installed the alternate image set. You can *drop* any .xpm or .png replacement of anything mentioned in bmaps.paths in alternate_images and that image will prevail. I think that we should get rid of .xpms and .xbms from crossfire now as being obsolete. PeterM
