New Icon ...
 

I just added camo to the Cromwell icon.

But then I get this problem:

So what am I doing wrong?

Re: New Icon Question
 

How did you add the camo? If you didn't do it using the approved color palette and the resulting .bmp isn't properly formatted (it can't be in 256 colors, I think it can only be in 24), then it won't format properly.

Re: New Icon Question
 

The palette was ok, I didn't save as 24, but have now and that solved the problem.

Now I have another problem. I go to replace image #20 with the new shp image and nothing seems to change!

What step am I missing here.

thanks,

If anyone wants either of these let me know and I'll post the files.

Damn I swear they have cloaking devices now :laugh: If you could send the shp file with the next turn so we are on the same page, Besides I love the work you did in them. :cheers:

Hi Bob,

Here's my latest work:

I wanted to make these British units a darker green and added camo to some.

I left the Churchill tank - in the red hex - as stock colour, so you can see the difference.

Re: New Icon ...
 

I like them, especially the star on the rear hull. Looks like good work to me.

Re: New Icon ...
 

I totally agree,the star is awesome.
