Didn't want to start a new topic so posting here...

JCL, DavidOC is right, the field for Action is 34 chars long not 33. This explains why a while ago, when I was using 33, after counting up the bytes there was always 1 byte missing, which I couldn't explain.
If I use 33 bytes for action, and read the following flags/skills I get garbage, but using 34 it works fine.

Can you please update the WMB documentation.

i agree with djbmaster. 34 chars is good, 33 is bad.

Or at least one of name, filename, action is 34 and not 33.

Another note about the levelformat.

Is it possible to remove the palette?
Not shure if anyone uses it, and if, that it is bound
manually. Indexed pictures (if someone want to use them) have their own palette anyhow.

Nowerdays it causes more problems (missing palettefile for example), than beeing helpful.

i agree

Ditto on the palette issue.
