Understood! Now all is clear for me. I'll start new topic there in ... about a week, maybe more. Oh, and the last things to explain: * download link is from forum server. I could upload this CL on other server, than You may upload it ( or save it from your e-mail ) on forum server and change link. Could be? * I don't know how to classify my level ( I mean difficult ). My opinion could be really subjective, and ... do I need some others, which could do it for me, or help me with it? *Is walkthrough really important? *regards, Tomalla *

Hi ... I have little problem here ... Could anyone explain me, how does it work ?? I have done some CLs, and I've tested them, made screenshot of perfect score etc. Now I'm going there: gooroosgruntz.proboards26.com/index.cgi#GCustom, click world the CL is made in, and I want to create own topic. NOPE I can't - there's no "New Topic" button ... Please, tell me, how is it possible to publish own CLs on this forum ? If there is topic, which explains that, sorry I don't keep forum clean

Hmmm ... very interesting ... xD Anyway I found Media Player, which can play these files without renaming. Is called "Awave Studio", butaa ... not really good. But this way is really the simplest one ... xD I didn't know this. Very interesting thing is why structure is the same ... I'm going to solve this problem ... Thanks @swordgrunt anyway ...

Nope. XMI files are NOT the MID files, but they are on the basis on these ones. Only difference is better compression between XMI and MID - and easy to guess - structure of this file is different.

By the way How Gruntz game engine is called? I heard, that maybe "RAD game tools", or etc.?
^^This text I found in credits movie^^
=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=
Claw is older than Gruntz and also has REZ files ( I didn't check out that, but I think there's also PID files )

Well, I've gota one theory, about PID files case: 1. What do PID files include? - First, PID files have graphic file, of course. This file means tile
design. Is in PCX format.
- Second, they have other options. ( I'm not sure, but these options
could be even tile type - death tile, free space, sand, goo, water, climp tile - stairz for example, accessible, and not accessible ones ( for example trenches etc. ))
This event, when IrfanView said, that PID files are PCX ones, was right, nearly. That's because PCX file is in first block of PID file - Irfan View found known structure ( of PCX file ), information appeard, and now IrfanView is trying to decode left part of PID file, andaa ... IrfanView got stuck in infinite loop, was not prepared for other informations ... And now: when options block could be at the beginning, and graphic file at the end, Irfan View would show message, that graphic file has got not known format... 2. What was first - PID files, or maybe game engine? - Perhabs, game engine was used from other game? Maybe was bought from
other company? Then, they must to add up files, which game engine is available to decode, load.
3. How to decode that? I don't know how xD If PCX tile file is not coded, or packed, than it could be singled out with only Notepad ... I've never tried that. =-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-= There's many mistakes, errors, because , for example, objects have also PID files ( sometimes many frames ), and there are no types ... What do you think about? Really?

Wait ... IrfanView couldn't decode this file - this mean, that PID file is NOT PCX file! Maybe PID file was created on the basis of PCX file? Anyway - THIS IS NOT PCX FILE! Second - creators of Gruntz - I think - created their own images format, so ... there will not any application, which can decode this file format. Only application, which can load and decode PID files ( also REZ files extracting ^^ ) is GRUNTZEDITOR! This application has got algorithm, which decodes this file. We don't know this algorithm - sadly ;/ And @gooroo - if IrfanView can NOT decode PID file - it won't convert it to jpg of even gif file format ... =-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-=-.-= Could anyone tell me, what's done so far in PID files case? What do we know so far? *tomalla*

Hmm... 1. I don't think so, that pid files ARE pcx ones ... I tried many picture viewers, every with PCX files available, and every time error appears ... 2. There IS one algorithm to open these files, but I don't know which ... GruntzEditor has this algorithm - IT CAN LOAD THESE TILES FROM GRUNTZ.REZ FILE! OmG ... 3. There IS - must be - application, which could edit these files, because creators of Gruntz was able to add these files to GrUnTz PrOjEcT ... Maybe I'm wrong?

Well, I don't think that's really good program ... I hate these consoles ... When is unpacking gruntz.rez file - it stucks up during unpacking ... 42 000 file ( something about that ). I looked into gruntz/ripped/gruntz.rez/statz/.../screens/screens/screens/screens/screens/screens/ ... OMG Some bug xDxD that's sick. Everything is really much better in WinRez LT Studio - is using standard Windows API ( better than old consoles - BUT if program could be good, then never mind, but ... it is NOT ) and never stucks up, there's NO bugs and any error could happen, is when rez file is using by other process ( for example GruntzEditor). Sorry dude.

Hi, I have little trouble with editing GUNTZ.REZ file ... First, I installed WinRez LT Studio, and all works very nice ... except one thing: When I'm trying to open GRUNTZ.REZ file, error appears: "Error opening E:\Gruntz\GRUNTZ.REZ"
I don't know, why this shows ... Could anyone help me?

That is NOT problem!
Right - click on the link and go to >> Save ... as I don't know how it's in English, but Polish version is: "Zapisz element docelowy jako ...".

Hi - this is my first published CL, so don't be so cruel Thanks So: whole level is part of bigger "set" of levels ( I'm gonna create every of 4 CL for EACH world with other WARP letter ). This is my first level in Gruntziclez Graphicz Set, so there's only W letter. About CL construction: Level is divided into 4 subpuzzles. In every are: - 3 purple switchez ( you have to active exactly 12 purple switchez ) to make pass Warpstone Grunt in the middle;
- one Red Warp and one Secret Switch.
- one hidden ONE TIME SWITCH - every is lowering black pyramids near the fort. Right there is W letter.
Every Grunt has unique tool ( I mean: every Grunt could NOT be a barehand and as well complete puzzle - every tool is important in game ). I was trying to avoid really timing puzzles. If anyone have question about solving this CL, ask me \\Edit: Yeah! Walkthrough is done! Check it out in Online and Offline version!
