[QUOTE="Luke, post: 664748, member: 602"] The DungeonCrafter guys actually turn out to be part of the same multi-national company as me. Their progress seems pretty slow, and I offered many months back to abandon my tilemapper and join them in furthering DungeonCrafter. Understandably, they wanted to continue on their own, but it really doesn't affect your ability to use DungeonCrafter images in RPM at all. You can paste anything from the clipboard into RPM (the old Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V trick). Programs like CC2 or DungeonCrafter typically have a "Save Bitmap" option, and you can also load in files saved that way. I sometimes do a "touch up" in the simple PaintBrush app that comes with Windows, then paste directly into RPM. One of the nicest features is to find *any* image on the web that you like (a free map from the Wizards map-a-week for example), and simply right-click on the image in your browser and choose "Copy". The image is then in your clipboard, and you can paste directly into RPM. With *any* image, at its most difficult, simply do a *printscreen* of any image you can view, and then paste into PaintBrush for tuch ups, or directly into RPM. Once you get around the concept of copy and paste, or saving BMP files, its *real easy* to use images from any other programs in something like RPM. Its well worth holding off for 3.0, which I'll release by tomorrow night. Testers have been very generous with their time (they're generally quite excited about the new program), going through the new RPM in *much* greater detail than ever before. Though I intended the next version to be more about a switch to a different, incorruptable database manager, its a lot more than. The new version includes greatly enhanced features (especially the genrators/lists), and includes generally thorough testing of all features. If you were one of the people with a computer system that exposed stability problems in the previous version of RPM, this will seem like a completely different program to you. Sorry about the weeks delay, for those waiting. My real job (the one putting food on the table) had me working 18 hours days for 6 days straight, and I'm only just coming out of the consequential "jet lag" etc now. Regards, [/QUOTE]
