question...

Post by Snuffly » Thu Mar 24, 2005 9:05 pm

im not really making a skin, just putting letters and pictures on a usaaf skin.

But ummm when i put the .bmp file in the right folder, the skin doesnt show up in-game.

when i look at all the files theyre all 1 mb my file is 3mb... is that the problem? if so how do i reduce the size but keep the resolution the same?

You have to convert the file into 24bit you can use a converter called bright
I'm not sure where you can get it from though... guys?
Its either a plug in for photoshop or a seperate bat file depending on what you have :)

here is BRIGHT

I think this is the easy opening version

and if I'm not mistaken ...

it converts FROM 24 TO 8 bit

that the game recognizes.
