str() needs a couple more parameters is all. Use str(b+1,0,0). Those are the
string length (plus padding)and decimal places. This way you get just the
float value as a integer. Otherwsie you've got it... except I don't know
where T_Bronze textures are, so guess you have them there someplace.
Metals.inc has Copper which is said to be bronze-like.
