What I want to do is have it so that when the player, looks, examines, or uses the map in his inventory it pops up a .bmp picture map. I have been beating my head against the wall but it refuses to work.

What I did was add a tag to the objects 'look', 'examine' and 'use' - so that when a player looks, examines, or uses the map, the bmp pic pops up.

I used the "show picture" command, but it won't work. I am positive I have the file name right and the map is in the game dir. What is going on? How can I make this work?

When I enter the game and try it, instead of the pic popping up, I get the msg.. !intproc1

I think there is a bug in there that Alex needs to fix, but you can work around it by making your look command call an action that shows the picture, rather than try to show it direct...

Instead of using

quote:

---

look {
picture <photo.jpg;Caption>
}

---

try using this:-

quote:

---

action <look> {
picture <photo.jpg;Caption>
}

---

That works - I've tried it.
