I'm not dead yet, just had a huge English 102 paper consume my free time for a bit. I'll have the weekend to code a bit, I'll go through and answer questions I haven't been able to get to then (I'm not ignoring anyone, I swear!).
Quick answers to recent questions:
I know what went wrong with loading .pngs, I just haven't uploaded the fix yet. Expect the patch this weekend, and updated source. Remember that you can only have one picture named Profile1, Profile2, BDSM5, or whatever, even if the two pictures are not of the same type. I'm not sure if it would favor the jpeg, the png, or just crash the game if you had more than one picture with the same numeric but different extension. Just... don't do it.
No, I'm not going through the coding headache of figuring out how to make the game load from different folders for each image type. Maybe crazy will for MMX, but I won't be touching that anytime soon.
On the Type# vs. Type(#) picture naming convention, please use Type#. It won't break preg picture categories. The game has a very specific way of handling preg(variant)# pictures, and will not load any preg pictures at all that have the Type(#) format. Or Type (#). Or any variation of the format that isn't Type#. The way the game sorts preg pictures will exclude any picture that doesn't fit the expected format exactly. Seriously, make things easier on both of us and just use Type# please.
If I missed your question, please don't take it personally. I'm just very busy right now.
