Do you really need one?  After all, I already released the original VGASPECx as bitmaps (it's one of the posts on this thread).  And the new ones you created will have come from a BMP anyhow.

What will happen though is, once I put color reduction in place, I will probably have the program output the color-reduced version as a BMP as well as the VGASPEC, so you can do further editing on it (and remake the VGASPEC afterwards) if necessary.

In some games like Save the Lemmings there are graphics like that 1 on the Covox level that may want to be edited. They are extended graphics aswell.

I have a couple more questions.

Is it possible to have more than only four special graphics levels in a pack?

As for changing which .dat the level points to, well the level stores the info that picks the "#" part of "vgaspec#.dat".

Oh alright.  I had a conversion program (that's how I got the BMPs for the 4 regular VGASPEC levels, over half a year ago).  I'm too busy right now, but maybe later tonight/tomorrow I can upload it.  The only caveats:

1) it's command-line only.
2) It generates a 4-bit BMP.  You'll need to use Paint to convert it to a 24-bit BMP before myvgaspec will accept it.

If I get hold of Save the Lemmings I could send it to you. My e-mail is thetransplants2@hotmail.com but I don't know your e-mail address sorry.
