in reply to Peter M.: > > An easy way is to just color the image differently. Even > a poor artist (such as myself) can do that much. What I'll do is take the quetzal-image from alternate set. It's a bit flat but will do till someone cares to draw a better image. The dragon player will now start out titled "fire hatchling". The quetzal remains, only with different image, race reptile and slightly modified description message. Okay, I hope with this I've got the general blessing for commiting. :-) I've got the basic code done and tested (as far as I can). I'd like to wait to have the current memory leak issue resolved before my commit. But on the other hand I don't wanna wait too long, as with every cvs change it becomes harder for me to merge in my patch. So please expect me to commit my patch somewhere during the next days. If anyone still has objections, please don't wait and tell me now. Andreas
