Is there a way to change the picture of the map that shows up when using the F3-teleport.
I found it in exult_bg.flx, but if I try to replace shape 12 using ES the file becomes corrupt. I think it might be because of shape 13.
Is there a proper way to modify this file?
This would be usefull when I'm editing my map, so that I know where I'm teleporting to.

corrupt? Or is it just that Exult won't start again?

See http://exult.info/docs.php#command_line. Especially the -nocrc switch.

Sorry, I'll be more specific.
After I import my new map frame over the old one and save it, Exult Studio shuts off (crash?). The exult_bg file is now 66kb instead of 134kb, and when I restart ES, there is nothing inside of exult_bg.

oh, that's bad.

How were you using ES to work on "exult_bg.flx"?

Well, I renamed it to exult_bg.vga
I know that's not the proper way to do it, but it was the only way I could find to edit the file.
Is there a proper way to do this?

My guess is that ES isn't ready to deal with general FLEX files.
