I think a good addition to the Design" section for effects would be good I like tinkering with effects, but I have some questions, like "what part of the "effect" file designates what quarter of the effects .bmp image it uses, for example.
I think a dedicated topic would also be a great place to bounce around ideas for different effects and also solve the occasional "effect" problems (like lights showing up as white squares) and how to solve those little problems.
Just a thought.
