Yea, sure. First you need an an image editing program like Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro. Than make a targa (tga) file and make it 256X256 pixels with screen resolution (72). Do whatever you want to it and than when ur done save it as a 24bit tga and you can compress RLE and it will work. If you want me to make you one or turn a pic u have into one I would be happy to do it for you. |

128x128 or 64x64 pictures are also acceptable. 256x256 can be pretty big for a bit of art that's used only once a game session. |

hey man, do u think u can make this into a 128X128 with the correct bit? i cant manage to get it into my map, everytime i upload it and look at it, its a blank white screen, i think it may have to do with the bit. if u could that would be AWESOME! it also needs to be converted to tga if u could.. tHX |

Ok, this should work. I think your problem was that the gif wasnt RGB it was index colors. Next time if you try just change it to RGB and convert it to tga. EDIT:I have no idea why it says 413 kb its only 41.3 kb |
