How do you make your own custom graphics (for the custom-made objects in the level creator)?

You draw them in paint or whatever program you like to use, then save them as a pcx file, then you need to create a graphicsinfo.conf (basically a txt file with a different extension) and assign your custom made sprite to the element of your choice.

However if you wait for Alans CE-dit the second half can be done with relative ease.

The sprites MUST be 32x32 (may allow lower resolutions in future RND versions).

I'm just trying to make it a little bit more clear here. Make sure you don't save it as bmp and just rename it as .pcx instead, you need to convert it to the PCX format, not just the file extention. There are a bunch of image programs who can do this, where SnagIt (www.techsmith.com) is my favorite :)
