Intention:
I've started a little development in grabbing DTM's for all Dungeoneering Items, in which I hope to help the community through the process of dungeoneering with color :3
Overview:
I've grabbed every name, and made an include type file, pretty much alike the frequent BMP loading include. I simply replaced bmp parts with DTMs, and have about 1k constants / items overall. This doesn't include a portion of the items, in which I'm still determining whether or not to bother as it's a small area that I might not make a DTM for - we'll see when I get there how that goes.
Currently:
I'm currently making sure all the DTM's are unique; in dungeoneering there are many items that look very similair to one another. Also items shapes tend to distort (DTMs for the win!) as well as change their colour (i.e. binding an item slightly shifts the item's colour).
I've also progressed through ~600 items of the 1k+ items. I'm running into the harder variety of items, such as pots, summoning scrolls, and arrow tips that make it a bit of a challenge to differ one from another.
Future:
After accomplishing the item DTM stage, I hope to tackle some bosses and puzzle rooms; I throughly enjoy the skill, and this will help keep me interested to the skill, given my progress in the skill in general (confusing on purpose).
Also, the file size stands at about ~188kb so I assume I'll have to setup villavu's paste thing to upload :p
~Cheers

E2: I'm strongly thinking about moving to all BMP's as some DTM's are still returning falsely positive for similar items :s
E3: Suggested methods for getting precise findings for each item is more than welcomed! I have the time on my hands, however right now I'm still in the early stages of perfecting unique DTM locating. For now I'll just be testing / practicing getting as close to perfect results as I can!
E4: currently on hiatus w/ this until safe mode doesn't flicker/glitch the graphical image of the items… :s
