Yes, very nice. Isn't it kind of funny, that you have to have a webhost to get those backgrounds and pictures...

Well, now I have one (once again!) that workz, and there are more than four people doing the work, so there is a good chance that they won't suddenly go out of business, leaving me in the lurch. It is taking me quite a while to recover what was lost ... it turnz out that there are some thingz that I only had on Neron Hosting's server ... somehow deleted from my own hard drive. Perhapz they were thingz that were on my previous computer ... they still exist, but I have no way to get to them. This is going to be very much a "work in progress", getting thingz back to what I consider "right". So consider this and feel free to mention thingz that just don't look right ... they probably are not right! I used to have dozenz more 'smiliez' available, but I will need to re-install the script that will provide the drop-down menu from which to select them. There are far more thingz to do that I consider far more important than adding those (back) in, so please be patient regarding that task.

Obviously the white background on some picturez needz to be made transparent. Also, for tile imagez, are we supposed to use only Gruntz in Space to create the tile imagez in all levelz (pyramidz, switchz, brickz, etc.), because I tried High on Sweetz and it didn't work.

This is so cool. Yay. This mean we get back walkthru's and downloads and images and, and... my mind is boggled. The truck 'under construction' is something that surprised me. Didn't even know something like that could be inserted. So very neat. Now I've got to go get a picture? (CRS) for my name.

Obviously the white background on some picturez needz to be made transparent. A task for someone grpahically talented ... which letz me out! All of the Switchez and Pyramidz, Foundation Tile and Construction Pyramid, and Brickz look exactly the same, no matter what graphicz set they are used in, so I only have them stored in the "Gruntz In Space" folder. You can "mix and match" different graphicz setz in postz, as: (which doesn't make any sense). Just, whenever you want to display one of the Tilez that lookz the same in every graphicz set, use "...8GS/GS....jpg", and don't try to display (supposed to be a one-layer Brown Brick) ... while workz fine.

UhOh. Strange. I tried to reply to GooRoo's above message but it said I was a guest. So then I tried to login. It would not take my password. I clicked on 'forgot password' and recieved email with the password I had just used. Came back to forum and tried again to login. Recieved message that it was wrong. Looked at email closely to make sure it was spelled correctly. Yep. Tried very very carefully again. No go! Asked if I wanted to change my password to one entered. Huh??? I clicked 'no'. Message went away and suddenly I wasn't a guest anymore. ..................................................................................................................... Anyway those emoticons are awful and hopefully noone will want them.

you are so totally right.... they are not emoticonz at all and not cute... we want back the and the #happy new year# etc... , and the rest are all available ... just not via the drop-down additional smiliez menu. There are still dozenz of scriptz I need to restore from my Gruntz back-up script folder and get tested. And I still would like screen grabz of the opening screenz of the Gruntz game in JPG format, 1024X768 pixelz in size. Anyone playing Gruntz could participate in this mini-project ... just reply in this thread that you have captured the "two enemy Toobz Gruntz with Zap Cola" (or some such description) and are e-mailing it to me. That way, Gruntzerz may see that that particular opening screen has already been captured, and not duplicate someone else's effort ... and simultaneously save my e-mail storage space from duplicatez.

I have not seen an e-mail with any attachmentz from you ... but I get so much SPAM that I may have sent one to 'Trash' and deleted it. I receive abut 400 SPAM e-mailz every week, mostly due to the Monolith Gruntz Forum being totally unmonitored. (Some of the junk is "From:" me (spoofed, of course) to me!) If I am in a hurry, I sometimez delete as SPAM anything without a respectable "Subject:" line ... so "Gruntz" (anything) I keep and open ... most "no subject" and all "c1al15" (Cialis) messagez get deleted immediately. My primary e-mail provider does absolutely no SPAM blocking, in spite of the entriez I have made to block SPAM e-mailz. (I have every conceivable corruption of "cialis" in my blocked table, but they all get through to me as non-SPAM. )

I'm going to capture the screenz again, and send them to you. Which onez you already have? I'll modify this post once I can get all picturez. P.S. I wasn't able to acess the forum for hourz. Does that apply only to me? By the way, I don't know exactly when it came back because I was busy playing "Serious Sam II"(one cool game! ).

Peekaboo, you can either press F12 and the image will appear at the Gruntz folder, or use PrintScreen and press Ctrl+V in Paint or other image editor. P.S. GooRoo, I'm going to send you the imagez now.

you mean ctrl + C (to copy)... Pressing PrintScreen will copy the current screen, and then you press Ctrl + V to paste it somewhere... for example, the day there were 11 guestz and 3 memberz online, I copied the screen(it was something rare that I really never seen before : and saved it as "14ONLINE!!!.bmp".
