What do I save the file as??
When I save it as a bitmap, It ends in a 35 meg file...
When I open the older ones in paint, What is black, Turns blue and screws with the gamem.. >.<
Well, Help would be nice...

color the blue stuff the transparent pink color and the game shouldn't crash...

I know that the bmps should be saved as RLE encoded 8 bit bitmaps, but that program can do that?

Mspaint works great if you edit the existing BMPs and just press "Save", or select "256 Color" when you do "Save As".

id you use photoshop, when you're done drawing your sprite/terrain layer, go to image > mode and change RGB to indexed colours, then load the CC palette and then press okay and save if it's terrain, load the terrain colour palette.

you can extract the palettes from the default CC sprites/terrain bitmaps.

actually mine went through and i loaded the scene...and well the sky was a solid block...pic...

Hm. It seems you have broken the sky again.
