I thinking of giving up on the idea of mixing different authors texture packs on a level by level basis, but instead make it easy to swap between pack from the Glidos adjustment dialog.

Simplest way would be to have each pack in a subfolder of Textures, and allow selection of which folder is in use. What'd'ya reckon?

Yup, I'd agree with that -- much better all round for the end user.

Ok, sorted. Just released the final v1.33 on the main site, with that feature implemented.

Just to clarify - this means that both the equiv file and the level mapping files need to be inside the artist's own folder in order for the texture pack selection function to work?

Yeah, that's right. I think authors will ned the freedom to make their equiv files specific to their packs.

Basically, everything you would put in Textures now goes one level down.
