There you see:

i have edited this too.
i played X-beyond the frontier and x-tension and was quite angry about the white flash at the jump, especially at night-time-playing [they removed that by a patch later but digital anvil learned nothing from it

so i edited those files and the effects directly
well quite interesting effects ive managed to accomplish
the tunnel was missing and the colors too but the flash remains
at some time i edited it and cant jump anymore and the npcs hanging around me like in an supermaket without a door waiting to be let in

i play with an amd k/2 400 mhz and did that to improve my gaming-speed
i even messed with the tradelanes and removed all sounds and visual effects [they really doesnt look that good at 16 bit and that works quite fine

tomorrow i will post some more infos
me really tired *barely manages to move the mouepointer to the "reply to topic"
-button*

Greeting and godspeed
