Custom made graphics distorted
« on: June 19, 2009, 11:09:06 am »

I recently made a graphics set when I tested it, it just appears as a square of random colors but All other graphics sets not made by me work perfectly fine. I have checked the entire wiki and the forum and found nothing on this. Anyone care to enlighten me on what I overlooked.

Post the set here. That makes it quite a lot easier for us to figure out what went wrong.

When this happened to me, I found out that it was because I had it in 8-bit depth; it needs to be in 24-bit depth. But the sample you sent is 24-bit, so I don't know what's wrong.

I don't know if this will fix it or not, but try getting rid of that empty column at the right of the image... or put something random non-magic-purple there, and associate it with something you never see in game like creature_centaur

It doesn't mean anything, that right column is just another column.

Are you sure you set up the X:Y value in the text file right? This image should be:
[TILE_PAGE:YOURNAME]
   [FILE:whatever.bmp]
   [TILE_DIM:16:16]
   [PAGE_DIM:16:10]

Don't do what LN tells you, it will just make you to do some work and make the game to take a little more RAM while doing literally nothing.
