One possibility for not-workitude would be your init settings. In init.txt there is a line that says [GRAPHICS:YES/NO]. If it says NO, set it to YES. If it says yes, double check all your formatting to make sure you're pointing to the right places. If you are, try hitting your computer with a stick until it cooperates.

[Hishan]

Yeah, its set to yes. I also have nothing in errorlog.

[Deon]

How do they "not work"?
Are they stretched?

If there're "black tiles" instead of pictures make sure that you save it as "24bit" BMP.

Is the file name "graphics_example_new.txt"?

And I don't see where do you define NIGHTWINGS.

And is your bmp file called "VALKYIRE.bmp" (valkyire not valkyrie).

I am no expert but is the 'VALKYIRE' part a problem? Possibly a typo? I know that was what Deon said, but I was just clearing up the area that could be a problem.

I have to agree with this.. as the image you pisted is valkyrie.png/bmp not valkyire.bmp

using last post as reference, if you put valkyrie.png.bmp; it means you double-click that to change the filetype. I have that problem on my comp to. I downloaded Magic File Renamer 6. Its pretty simple. You drag the .png to the bottom section, right click to manual rename and then change to .bmp... Dunno why it doesnt just save to .bmp when you double click tho.

[Deon]

Magic file renamer? Lol. Paint is even more magic .

[Hishan]

Thank you very much everyone!!! The problem was the VALKIRE typo, and I am a fool for overlooking it. Glad to say my graphics are working perfectly now!

[Deon]

You're not a fool. Sometimes there're OBVIOUS mistakes we can't notice .

I usually work like that. Except I start with the last step and work backwards.

oops.. When I said "valkyrie.png/bmp", I ment the image posted was a .png file, but the file used is a .bmp. I was making a guess that the .bmp was nammed the same.

Sorry for the confusion.
