o.k, if you've read my other post, you'll know i'm making a scenario.
One thing that is slowing me down though, is making a custom images file. Whenever i put my own artwork and menu screens in, Aleph one won't load them. All the picts annd cluts are in, but they won't work. Any suggestions?

I've got a few ideas...

1. Your picture indexes aren't right: 1000-1099 is for splash screen, 1100-1101 is for menu buttons, 1400-1499 is for credit screens, 1700 is for HUD.

2. You might have the wrong file type imported into the Images file. I'm not sure how this works, but maps wouldn't load terminal pictures I made in some formats.

3. Your picture is too big. If it is too big, it will just be so large that you can only see the top left corner.

If your picture is in Thousands of colors, it doesn't need a CLUT.

Perhaps if you posted the Image file up we could take a better look at it.
