CF: read_client_images & collect_images

[David Andrew Michael Noelle <>]

I've been otherwise preoccupied for a while, but I'm trying to get
back into Crossfire now, and I'm having a bit of difficulty with a
couple things.  What am I missing?


1) What the heck is "./adm/collect_images.pl" supposed to be and
   should I be worried about the side effects of commenting it out
   instead of using it to recreate crossfire.xpm, crossfire.xbm, and
   crossfire.png?  


2) Might that have something to do with the fact that the server won't
   start, but just keeps complaining about crossfire.xbm:

Initialize new client/server data
Loading image file /usr/local/games/share/crossfire/crossfire.xbm
read_client_images: Did not read desired amount of data, wanted 72, got 1
IMAGE 00000 72 ./arch/system/bug.111Abort
Exit 134
