This statement intrigues me, anyone care to elaborate on what it specifically means?

i added the ability to define additional graphics (even within existing sets) via the ruleset.

https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,1267.0.html

there's an example in the second post.

@Warboy1982 is it possible to change the code in a way, that it would accept pck files? So that, for example this code
Code: [Select]
  - type: BIGOBS.PCK
    width: 32
    height: 40
    files:
      100: Resources/Bunny/Bunny00.pck
would add all sprites inside Resources/Bunny/Bunny00.pck to BIGOBS.PCK, starting with number 100, then 101, and so on?

... but the whole point was to make the pck format unneccesary
i'd prefer to add whole folder content reading and/or reading in compressed files (ie: rar, zip, etc)

PCK unnecessary , i have missed a lot of upgrades then, maybe you could write some How-Tos for the modding site showing a example of what is needed???

It's still under development and it may not be final, so I'm not sure it's time yet to document it.

well, i added folder content reading for now, because i was working with armor, and needed to define an entire sprite set.
