| Advertisements used to be a form of LVZ that were used in VIE days. They're not in use anymore, so that shouldn't be much of a worry.

| Quote: | Advertise
These settings control subgame's built-in advertisement capability. To use advertisements, just create bitmaps in the SS Palette and save them in the subgame directory as ad0.bmp,ad1.bmp, etc. Prefix the name with "s_" to send to shareware players, with "r_" to send to registered players, and "b_" to send to both. For example, "b_ad0.bmp". Subgame will then randomly pick advertisements to display to players.
SendMode
Datatype: Sum (bitfield).
Determines when advertisements are sent.
* 1 = send them when the player enters the zone.
* 2 = send them when player dies.
DisplayMode
Datatype: Enumeration.
* 0 = at top of screen behind all other graphics.
* 1 = at top of screen on top of all other graphics.
* 2 = floating around like a backdrop.
Duration
Datatype: Milliseconds.
Length of time an advertisement is displayed. Special Value: 0 = always on. |

MGB, can you define the "SS Palette" as stated above? This is not working out as I intended.

| There are two palettes you can choose from (heh). Either use the one in tiles.bm2 or ships.bm2 both found in the graphics folder. Since you are using a palette this implies it is not a 24bit bmp.

| Thanks Smong, I guess all it really was that I had to do is degrade it's graphics quality to 256.
