I can't seem to get a graphics pack to work
« on: February 20, 2010, 06:43:49 am »

Doesn't seem to matter which pack ( except Mike mayday's which is fine but I wanted to try others)

I'm guessing this is my user error in installing

What do I do to implement most graphics packs?

Thank you

Tell me which one do you want to use and what did you do and it didn't work?

There're 2 types of graphics... Oh wait, let me find out my previous answer, I answered this question at least 10 times :P. I think it deserves a separate stickied thread.

Nevermind, I decided to make it as a separate thread because otherwise it will be lost and people will ask it again and again.


P.S. Here, I've finally made myself to salvage my various answers to make this thread:
http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=49836.0

Enjoy and ask questions there.

If you read the thread I linked, they should be: .bmp for 40d and earlier, or .bmp/.png for 40d#.
