If you were working with big projects you could do this and make it easyer on yourself in the map maker

turf
    Dungonlevel1
        floors
            icon ='dungonlevel1.dmi'
            floor1
                icon_state= "floor1"
            floor2
                icon_state= "floor2"
            floor3
                icon_state= "floor3"
            floor4
                icon_state= "floor4"


you will get a drop down for Dungonlevel1 its useful

this is just a example oh and the only reason it is locked up is because dream seeker is loaded and you running you game close your game and recompile

Those errors sometimes pop up if you're hosting the game when you recompile. Try closing Dream Daemon or Dream Seeker before you compile if you get that "Rsc is locked up!" error.

OR, if you wanna be a space freak/pack rat (^.^)

turf
    Dungonlevel1
        floors
            New() 
                ..()
                icon_state = name

            icon ='dungonlevel1.dmi'
            floor1
            floor2
            floor3
            floor4


Thats only if the name of the tile is the same name as the icon_state in the file its in. :P

You can compile while you're running the game. No clean compile though.

Actually, you can't compile the game if the .rsc file needs to be updated. If you clean compile, that's a "duh!", but people tend to forget whenever they add new resources or edit them (such as editing icons) the .rsc file will need to be updated, and it won't work because of the lock.

This is purely Windows. On Linux systems, the .rsc file does not seem to get locked up. This makes Linux better for hosting, as you can replace the .rsc file while the game is running (and not have more downtime because of the shutdown).

1. Please use the <DM> tag. Don't forget to close with </DM>!
2. The indentation is fine; it didn't work because he was running the game at the time of compiling, which is generally a bad thing to do. In fact, it's encouraged to do it his way as it avoids cluttering of the map editor.
