Here ya go, you just might still be able to pull it off with studious attention to the lesson. And some nice sneakers.

So at what point was "Everything fine"? Right after using the provided zone.dat? Make sure that the Auto-Download option is unchecked. As for the adding as a custom zone not working, I would be apt to think that this is port blocking issue, either by some form of software firewall local to the machine(Anti-virus/malware software) an exception would have to be added, or a router locking the ports down and one would need to port forward the described port and possibly the described port +1 as well.

Do you see any entries if you open the user.dat file with scoreman?

Are the .dat files getting created? perhaps a permissions issue on the server?

Yes Sir. I created those for WD back in the "day". The proximity bombs where made using bryce7, JASC animation shop, JASC paint shop(just for compression in this case), and a little VB program I made that assembles frames of animation into the larger composite images that SS uses. Glad you like em and may put them to use sometime!

Here are two tile-sets with which you can do as you please. Edit them, mix and match, color them pink...whatever. No accreditation required. http://zignotzag.net/images/subspace/witchdoom/arctos_Zg.bmp http://zignotzag.net/images/subspace/witchdoom/Arctos_Z2.bmp

Use the Export and Import functionality. Export the tileset from the map, Edit it as you desire, Import it.
