> > Okay. It's one past ten P.M. PST, and I don't feel like studying. What I'd really like to do is whip out some of the original Dark Force Bit Maps for possible use in my level, but Frank Krueger's program is giving me error messages when I try to convert an extracted DF BM file. Frank, if you're out there, is there a way I can just directly convert a DF BM file to BMP format so I can browse/edit them before sticking them into MAT format? And is there another/newer version of your program? Thanks much in advance; Blue Ghost

> Go to the Files page ,pick WDFUSE , find BMP2DF.ZIP this is a mulitpurpose DF converter that works well. It`s a Dos program but that shouldn`t bother you. Generaly most of the Bm`s will work well with the default pal or secbase.pal.

PS the Stormtroopers are WAX files (multiple images) you can convert those to with BMP2DF. In Fact if you can find a file in DF you can convert it with this ;-) Image based files anyway.

If you need to know which files are what look in the DF specs theres Resource files ( if i remember right) anyway they list all the BM,Wax,FMe,voc files used for each enemey etc, there aslo a big texture list in there. Voc file descriptions etc

Theres an online version under Specs and a download version on Files /Wdfuse
