Can you change graphics?

Ok, so the problem is, Lurks had this great idea for our Dmod, I won't post it here, but anyway, we want to change the status bar. You know, the stats are strength, defense and skill, then we will have you press a button on the keyboard and you switch characters and the stats change to power, defense and magic. And we were wondering, are you able to have one status bar with strength, defense and skill, then create another one with power, defense and magic, and when you press a button it changes graphics? Would you be able to go init("load..."); ?

And one more thing, are there any status bars on the Dink Network that have spots for blank stats so you can change them?

Uh, I don't mean to be impatient, but does anyone know?

Yes, you can use init() for this I think... But you'd have to change map, reload the map or maybe just draw_status(). You know, it would take 5 minutes to give it a try

And there are no status bar templates on TDN as far as I know.

One of the secrets in FIAT is the ability to change the status bar. Have a look through the source code maybe or ask Redink1 how he did it.
