Stair color original when walls are colored

[andyboy_uk]

In ChiefyDungeon one of the levels has slightly redder walls but the pits and stairs still have the original coloring?

anything that can be done about that?

This isn't a bug and RTC is hehaving exactly as designed.

Changing to a different wallset just changes the walls (hence the name!). The other objects (including stairs, pits etc) don't change. As this looks a bit strange what I'd recommend is that you clone the stiars and pits and replacee the graphics with red ones and use those objects on the levels with red wallsets, and the original ones on the other levels.

Ahh ok, thanks George, I had a feeling it may be something to do with that.

Absolutley fantastic work by the way, Im still playing CSB.

Dont suppose you are working to recreate DM2 for Windows

clone the stairs and pits? yikes! I think I'll leave that to ppl with the inclination and skill! I enjoy "nicking" stuff from the DM and CSB .txts that you kindly provided George! tons of resources there, you can use those txts like libraries

:-) It's much easier than it sounds. I'll post up an example when I get a chance!

Here's an example of how to clone stairs and change their graphics. I've just completed this for my sample dungeon, so you'll get to see it soon!

Took a while to get this working as I had to keep testing the position of the bitmaps, but after a few hours (!) I got there.
