X.x pics in maps
 

ok i drew this picture of a pizza for a map i was making and its a .png, the instant i try to put this img in there i test play it and it doesnt show can someone help me? what am i doing wrong?

...what? Explain in more detail your problem and what you did.

ok...i made a pizza in paint and its in .png for a pizza shop i am making, but when i try to use it in an NPC it doesnt show up! do i have to save the file somewere where the map can read it or what?

Go here.

Download and install the application. Open the application.

Go to file ---> Open.
Open your .png

Go to file ---> save as...
When you are saving it, click the drop down box and save it as a .gif
Try the new GFX in your level/npc. If you did it right, it should work, also, it shouldn't distort the image.

(There is a way of making it so that your .png image will work, but I decided to keep it simple.)

NO!

Don't use .GIF!

The problem is because the PNG has been saved to 24bit. Graal2 only supports 8bit images.

ill try both thx alot guys

ok i tried it and the .gif thing worked the only problem is now is i have no transparency in the picture X.x

Make a .gif, then drag it into the Gif3MNG icon to create a .PNG copy. (It makes an MNG if it's an animated .gif, a PNG if it's a static .gif)

If you're looking for help on transparency you should go to the graphics forum... Actually, this should've been there in the first place.

Moved.

A lot of things.
