      I designed a new system and everything was working fine until I decided to add my own landscape pict. Nova crashes whenever I enter the system now. Why?

      My spob rid is 545
      My desc rid is 545-- as suggested by evnew
      My bar desc id is 10417-- as suggested by evnew
      My bar pict id is 10417 (it's a topless bar, so sue me. I'm WAY over 21.)

      My landscape pict id is 10418... I tried to choose an unused CustPicID number by doing a column search in the Nova Reference Spreadsheet (thanks, Azratax for the awesome tool!).

      Now, I have looked in all the Nova Data files to get some idea of where to put this pict. The only one I found was the Rebel I landscape pict at 11084 in Nova Graphics 3.

      Where the heck are the rest of them? The numbers are listed in the Bible, but they don't seem to be in the Nova Files Directory...

      Could it be a file size problem? I resized the pic to 612 x 285 (haven't tested it yet).

      When will there be a windows version of Mission Computer? If I had the formulas (including pict, spin, rled and rle8), I'd make one myself. As a windows user I'm beginning to feel like the stepchild, ya know?

      As Emily Latella would say, "...never mind..."

      I had changed the spob type set to 1009 instead of just 9 in the graphics field in EVNEW.

      A-hyukk! :^}

      The pic looks fine, though it's a little light...
