The Items Screen
The Items Screen
About the items screen which shows things like Points, Ammo, etc... how much can it be altered? I'm guessing that the entire screen is made up entirely of tiles from the 1FON0000.bmp file, but Xtraverse's Patch-o-Tron only edits the words. I don't need to edit the locations of the items, just the background image that it appears on... is it possible?

Well, yes, I could change the white to a different color or pattern by altering the blank spot in the 1FON0000.bmp... but that creates two problems. One, every white blank tile in the help file and story files would get changed as well, and two, I want to be able to put different tiles in different places in that menu.
Let me explain in a different way. Right now, the area behind the Keen sprites for the LIVES area is all one white tile, right? I'd estimate that area to be 11 tiles wide by 3 high, but I'm not exactly sure. Now, let's say I wanted one of those tiles in that white area to be the tile for "A" instead, or one of the other letters. How might I go about doing that?

I haven't looked into it yet. I'm going to be spending the next few days frantically writing up my final report. If you'd like this reasonably quickly, I can get to it within a week or so (no more than two weeks, probably less).
If you could email me a mock-up image showing the kind of changes you're interested in (not necessarily the exact thing, just a rough idea), it'd give me a better idea of exactly what you want.
Cheers,
Andrew
