I cant post the files here because they are to large for some reason. If anyone wants to know what the files are contact me on AIM. |

download lvztoolkit.zip
extract wherever
rename ships.bm2 to ships.bmp
create a new text file, type this in it:
Quote: | outfile=nameOfYourChoice.ini
file=ships.bmp |
save it as nameOfYourChoice.ini in the same directory as ships.bmp
run BuildLevel.exe (from lvztoolkit.zip) - select nameOfYourChoice.ini
this should create a .lvz file in same directory as .ini and .bmp (named as outfile= specifies)
move your whatever.lvz file to your Continuum directory (eg. C:\Program Files\Continuum)
go into your zone, into the arena you want the ship image to be used
(need sysop access for these next two steps)
send ?set misc:levelfiles=whatever.lvz
send *putfile whatever.lvz
...now re-enter your arena, download and see your new ships (may be a short delay while before server re-reads the sets and you can download) |

Ok i got everything except the ships.bmp and the Bulid level. I made a file and its says what you told me to put in it(i just copyed and pasted but changed the names). So when i go to the bulid level and go to the ships.bmp what do i clic on to use with the build level? Is it ships.ini or ships.bmp. If its ships.bmp it says this:ini file:missing paremeter outfile in <defult> section., then if i open the ships.ini it says:unable to open ships.bmp. SO what am i doing wroung? I dont get it. Please help. |

you want to run buildlevel on your .ini file
make sure the bmp and ini files are in the same folder |

There's an example.ini in the lvztoolkit that explains this. _________________ This help is informational only. No representation is made or warranty given as to its content. User assumes all risk of use. Cyan~Fire assumes no responsibility for any loss or delay resulting from such use.

Yes, you can use wav files. The '2' part of bm2 and wa2 is a failed project, you can just use bmp and wav. |
