For everyones info on the graphic files convention I have included a part of the email that I sent to CocoaSpud below;

> having certain name format for picture files, like big pic files would be
> called:
>
> bp_a_pic1.jpg
> cm_a_drow1.jpg
> cn_a_vala.jpg
> bo_a_fg1.jpg
>
> Where the format is as follows:
>
> bp = big picture graphics
> cm = combat Monster Icon
> cn = combat NPC Icon
> cp = combat PC Icon
> cw = combat Wall graphics
> bo = border/frame graphics
> bd = backdrop graphics
> wa = wall graphics
> dr = door graphics
> spr = sprite graphics
> spl = spell graphics
> prt = portrait graphics
>
> _ = is a space between the format conventions
>
> a = format size 640x480 b = 800x600 c = ??? d = ???
>
> bp_a_XXXX = name of picture (ie vala)

> then the picture file format .jpg, .png, .bmp

Let me know what you guys think of this idea.
