    I know that there is at least one undocumented switch that you can add to your shortcut for the World Editor that will force it to load all the ART files not associated with a specific character or item. Unfortunately, I had a recent run in with a popup blocker from Zero Knowledge that I discovered had ghosted itself several months ago when I uninstalled it because it didn't work worth a darn, then it trashed my system when I uninstalled it this time. :x So, I no longer have my original shortcut for World Editor and I can't find the post where I saw that particular switch referenced. :-(

    Now, I'd like to know what that switch is because it reveals several ART files that are otherwise unavailable in World Editor. I'd also like to know if there are any other switches that Troika failed to tell us about and what they do, if they exist. So help me out, please!

    First it will be wise to install Mozilla. With mozilla active x crap does not work and you will forget popups while still being able to see and to click in nomal banners from time to time in order to support the website.

    I have read your pm but sadly i have no idea.

    Mayby you can find something here

    http://www.troikagames.com/arcanum.htm

    look at the World Ed Developer Documentation

    Otherwise i do not know.

    Now that i know that shortcuts exist i am interested also.

    To see all the available art files you just have to select no art and when you click again you see a list.I am not sure if that is what yoou want.

    Thanks, DJ_Unique!

    If anyone else knows of any other undocumented switches, please report them here, too.

    I think there was mention of others. The place I *think* this came out was on the o-fficial Arcnaum boards at Sierra Arcanum. http://www.arcanum1.com
