Send me the graphic. I'll see if I can get it to work for you. Use my email.

Do not write please so much. The compiler/translator diminishes to me!

Sorry Mikee. When explaining I need to do 2 things.

1. Give a complete explanation.

2. Use as much detail as possible so the explanation can be followed.


1 + 2 = a LOT of words.

OK. For those who need the short explanation:

Just because it looks like white it may not be white.
Eliminate, or change to white, anything that isn't pure white.
For the three color components ®ed (B)lue (G)reen
R = 100% or 255
B = 100% or 255
G = 100% or 255

HTH,

Yes 1 + 2 = A Lot of words. Only with us is it somewhat different... With us 1 + 2 = 3

FYI all,

The TOTOMBs graphic set is almost complete.
Sorry for so many posts in a row but I've been up to my eyeballs in real work, reorganization at the office so I've just been lurking on the forums.

Me and my dad worked on this this morning. WOW! I still don't get it... I changed the background to pure white and it DOES say the colors are 255... all three of them! Does the picture have to be a different format? (we tried pcd and psd) The bricks aren't working either. When I put the light blue in (0,255,255) it shows up in MM as well as in photoshop. My dad suggested transparent layers but nothing happened. The only other thing I have to ask is why are the mummy graphics so darn small!?! They're too small for the normal graphics and the game has a problem when I put some in... Hopefully this will be the last time I (and even my dad) ask. :-? :-[

They have to be .jpeg! .psd is for Photoshop! .pic is for many apps. as a main image type. Mainly for me, Color it!™. Color is excellent for making new bad guys, and Photoshop is harder to use. It sooo complicated but I manage. To make it .jpeg, when you save your image in Photoshop, make sure the type is jpeg or jpg (No difference) and NOT .pic or .psd. You should read the documents that came with the game! They explain alot! Like how to get custom music, custom backgrounds, ect. (Not sure about sprites and tiles though, read Joeb's tutorial again) Oh yeah, .png works, too for the background type! Quickest way is to take a screenshot of the background you want. Command + Shift + 3 takes full screen screenshot, Command + Shift + 4 you can select an area with the mouse. The screenshot should appear on the desktop. If not, search for "Picture 1, or 2, or whatever.

Yeah, the picture type doesn't help. I don't know what's going on...
