Title: Help with custom paint?
Post by: Dangerfield7up on June 23, 2012, 05:27:18 AM: I don't understand what is going on, I just exported a Paint Template and modified using Paint.net for a robot I made. Now, every time I try and apply it, RA2 stops responding

Is it a binary square?
Is it in the right folder?

Anything higher, and the detail starts to become unnoticeable in-game. If you don't have that, then the game won't recognise it. Also, make sure you have Auto-Detect turned off when you're saving it.

If you have a file name with a period in it (full stop, "."), then that'll mess it up. I did once end up with a .png image detected as a .LOL file because of the name I'd given it. You can get around this by simply renaming it, and adding a .bmp extension at the end.
