Right. Well your biggest problem here is probably that you had filename mixups and the wrong type of TOM for the graphics (TOMkg instead of Tommodk.)

I have pressed for a single version that uses either type of graphics but the lead programmer was too busy examining his belly button lint to make the simple change. (Also TOMkg works better than TOMlmod, I don't know why, but it's more versatile, go figure.)

If you're sticking with Modkeen, a working setup is here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3940020/tom.zip


Note how the bmps folder contains the tile bitmaps TOM uses, that's why your setup wasn't loading graphics. (Tomkg asks specifically, so this doesn't happen.)

hey that works nicely, but... im pretty sure i had a working TOM in the past some time :/ i must've downloaded a few versions of it. ill play around with this one and see what i can do with it (opened it up for a few moments, clicked around, and got nervous that the infoplane layer looks weird and its displaying random tile graphics in the boxes :/ but ill see what i can do )

thank you for all your help levellass ;) you're my hero. <3
