Take a look at the menu system for the single switch mechanism in the editor. As you can see, the switches have been seperated for easier use.
The Greenwall Buttons are for Germanny's green wall set, the Germanny Black Buttons are for Germanny's dark grey/black wallset and the Grey Button are for Cows wall set.
For each wallset you use, you can now have it's own lever, switch or wall decoration to suit each mapset. Just select the appropiate image from the menu system.
The multiple wall switch and wall decoration menus work the same way, each being seperated by the appropiate names.
The multiple wall switch and door menu systems works similar to the above. All doors coded are now breakable, included the EOB doors and 5 custom slots to create your own. To use the crates, barrel and stones doors, be sure to select an alternative "maps" folder and use the blank images for the "opennorm" and "doorframe" graphics. This will give the illusion that these are obstacles in your partys' way, and does not display the door surround or frame.
To use the archways, be sure to select "is broken" within the editor. You can use the archways without this selected, but your party will not be able to walk through them. Either way they can still be made to be breakable, the option is available to do so.

Happy dungeoneering! Enjoy.

As for implementing the two-wall method, I have seperated the alcove class files from each other. This means that any custom alcove can be used per level, but please bear in mind that the alcove cannot be used again on the same level in question.
For example, you want an outside dungeon that leads into an inside theme. An outside wallset can become the 4-sided alcove and the main inside wallset remains the same. The one-sided alcove can then be used as an "normal" alcove, holding items or activating swicthes.
The 4-sided alcove can also work the same as an one-sided alcove, it depends on the kinda theme one wishes to create. This option has been made available for the more advanced DMJ user. If you want to use this method, rename the files appropiately - eg.. wall12 would be alcove12 and so on...

Everything else works like it did before. Extra maps folders are there to give the player the options of changing each wallset as the party moves through the dungeon, for example the "town" theme and extra graphics to use along the way.

Another question that has come up, which I have tried to answer briefly was the event mechanism.
Here's a piccie of the event for the riddle room.

As you can see there is no buttons highlighted. Now this can be done one of two ways (probably more).
Okay first things first:-
For every choice there must be an action - For every action there must be a choice.
Create your event, link all triggers from this event in the correct order. If you want to end the event, be sure that all triggers have been activated fiirst. If you end the event prematurely, not all triggers would have been activated.
Link the end event onto another trigger - for example the riddle wall has two triggers. One for the wrong answer and one for the right answer. Each trigger has been activated to end the event, so whatever the party chooses as their answer the event ends. Just link the trigger to "end event" and it will work.
Like I said before, make sure that all firing triggers have been used before ending the event - you might deactivate the actual trigger that ends the event in question if you don't set it up correctly.
This event square can also be linked onto a multiple wall switch hidden from the partys' view. A time delay can be activated - a cycle of what would be a few seconds before the trigger will fire.
This can be used to control the event square as well, but will require a good working knowledge of the editor.
So for example, the event square as been activated, which in turn activates the mulitple wall switch, which in turn does something that the party must interact with. In turn, it can also be used to deactivate the event square, leaving the party to carry on with their designated tasks.
I hope my blabbing clears up any issues, but my explanations, so I have been told, often confuses the issue more!
