Do you mean a WALLITEM? These are "flipped" by the engine when on alternate walls.

Ah right, same problem. RTC flips the right hand walls. You need to flip the ALT walls in your graphics program before saving it.

It's to do with the way RTC renders walls. You need to horizontally flip your right hand walls. I'll put up a picture when I get some time.

Aha, OK, I see the problem.

All games like dungeon master simulate movement by flipping all the wall images every time the party moves one step. This means that anything you draw on a wall will be flipped at EVERY OTHER STEP.

To solve it, either:

1) Draw your image as a WALLITEM and place it on the wall in the editor
2) Move your special wall by ONE TILE left or right.

I do believe that if you flip your image and save it as a diffent file... then add the "flipped" graphic and use it as the "ALT" image for your wall.

That won't stop RTC for flipping the whole lot when you move left and right in front of a long wall though -- will it? I think I've just confused myself!
