Hello,
I downloaded Alan's Random Levelset at Zomis' file archive ( http://www.zomis.net/rnd/download.php?id=22 ) but it seems that the BD2K3 sounds and graphics are not loaded.
I HAVE BD2K3 installed and the sets DO have the same name as the names the levelinfo.conf of the random levelset refers to.
I made a special topic of this because it may be a general bug.
So how can this be fixed?

That's right. Same here.

There seems to be a misunderstanding what to write into "levelinfo.conf" to refer to custom artwork, and what the "name:" token in the artwork config file is for.
The "graphics_set:" and "sounds_set:" in the "levelinfo.conf" file should refer to the "canonical level set name", which is in fact the name of the level set subdirectory, which would be "BD2K3" here. So it should not be
graphics_set: BD2K3_GFX
sounds_set: BD2K3_SFX
but instead, to enable using BD2K3 artwork, it should be:
graphics_set: BD2K3
sounds_set: BD2K3
The "name:" token in "graphicsinfo.conf" and "soundsinfo.conf" is just used to give the level (or artwork) set a nice, meaningful name, like "Alan's great world of BD2K3" or "BD2K3's graphics" or "Sounds for BD2K3", just like the "name:" tag in the "levelinfo.conf". (So you can change it or fix a typo in it without breaking references from other level sets to it.)
For artwork sets, this name appears in the artwork set selection menu.

So this is a little bug in the level/artwork set and should be corrected there.
