Because that would mean I have to create a new pointer for each BMAP. i want to be able to support user generated maps along with "official" maps. Since the list of maps and gametypes is populated into a list and that list may vary from person to person, there isnt any way I can think of which would allow that.

I still don't get it. Copying the stuff over with bmap_blit does not change the bitmaps addresses. It just changes the bitmaps contents. That is exactly what you asked for in the first place:Sorry if I am mistaking you somehow...

I dont want to be the guy in the middle who gets hit with the 'trace', but I think Ch40zzC0d3r was only trying to help - I dont believe he was trying to hurt anyone. He is only learning, just as we all are in many new areas - His advice was only an input, not a command.

Anyway, Couldn't you set it up into a function that holds all the bmaps in one section, the maps in another and so on? I realize you are trying to avoid this for what I would assume to be professional and learning reasons, however...

function calculate_map_settings(){

vote_pan.bmap = vote_panel;
if(vote_ran == 1){vote_panel = <thismap.bmp>;}

}

I stopped before I went to far ahead. I would never want to insult you with this primitive stuff you already know - but this is what I would do.

Cheers.
