DDS Thumbnail viewer:
With this little program you can view the files as a thumbnail instead of loading them one by one in Dxtbmpx to see what they are.

Dxtbmpx:
Handy program that helps you change DDS files to bmp and visa versa so you can work on them in Paintshop for example.

FpkPacker:
Packs/unpacks Fpk files.

The obvious can never be seen.

Good work Gun.

P.S. Do you have any idea how long it took me to find those? Or how hard it was to get usefull help in finding them?

Now for a screen capture sticky and how to use Photobucket.

Have you tried the Treasure Fleet Scenario so you know what you are looking for?

Different flags for Spanish ships and the Treasure Fleet (Spanish ships) would not be easy.

Would that be possible at all - different flags for ships of one country but with different missions?

Anything is possible.

Start with de-compiling the program . . . .

The way the program is set up, there doesn't seem to be that degree of freedom.

Time for another re-write.

To be honest, I was thinking of a slightly less drastic solution...

it appears that FPKPacker isn't on fileplanet anymore. Can someone help me to find it somewhere else? Or could someone upload it somewhere else so that I and others who don't have it yet can get it? Thanks. Sailor

Doesn't look promising.
Without the author's permission, we cannot post it.

Maybe Falconer or Wolfwood can get permission to host it on this site.
