It seems this topic was lost in the last posts. Are you still having it in mind?3) Footprints. I have yet to devise a way to put footprints on a tile.
Are or will the DSA be allowed beyond level 15? (as far as I know no, but I thought you made the changes for it)
It seems that the utility option (to make a new adventure in CSB) doesn't work with the lastest CSBwin.

Footprints still in mind. I looked at it a bit. I think it will be possible.
DSAs should work beyond 15 now. I increased the size of all Actuator
records to make room. Have my fingers crossed that I broke nothing.
Utility? Hmmmmm. I bet this is one thing I broke!!!! So much for the
efficaciousness of crossed fingers.

only 8192 bytes plus 512 bytes for palette. It would not be unreasonable for you
to provide such table to be used for the overlay. We would put it in the
CSBgraphics as another bitmap type. The bitmap would be 512 by 16.
That would allow you to do absolutely any possible function without asking me
for help.
I have pondered the overlay business a bit more. The Atari is capaable ofhat about the possibility of GIF, colour masked, or image masked images
displaying only 512 colors. Its hardware palette has 3 bits for each of red,

Ahh, good. Now you can play custom dungeons without using the wrong graphics set. If you could add in capability to keep all graphics.dat files in the same folder, with different names, and use the signatures alone to determine which file to use, then using multiple custom dungeons would be very easy.
Re: two requests
Apologies for re-visiting an old thread... Paul, did you document or include a feature to set the "natural light" level? On the quick dungeon i've setup it's dark by default, even on level 0. I would like this level to be light - as in the hall of champions.
Re: two requests
I'm an idiot, I had given up searching having seen this post - but i understand setting exp. multiplyer at 0 will give a "light" level. However, if i want to apply this to lower levels, but with an exp. multiplyer in line with the difficulty - would i need to create a DSA to do this?
