Custom sized wharfs

Description

So here it is, you can now change each wharf's height. The syntax for a 64x32 wharf folder in the step.rc is the following :

*Wharf !32 "My folder" image.bmp Folder

And for the original 64x64 folder :

*Wharf "My folder" image.bmp Folder

Example

On the following picture you can see an example of sized wharfs in action (by the way what do you think about my XMas Step ? :-)

Installation

To install it, simply replace 'lsapi.dll' and 'wharf.dll' with the ones from this zip file. It comes with the modified source code. All modifications are enclosed with these comments :

// BK
modified source here
// -BK

The modified "lsapi.dll' is only usefull if you use framed wharfs.
To avoid access violation when installing, you will have to either :

  • Kill LiteStep, replace the files and relaunch LiteStep.
  • Do it from pure DOS.
  • Do it from explorer :-(
