Problems with GIMP and TGA
So, I've lurked this forum for a long time, picking up tips on modding and such, and recently I decided to finally flesh out a nation mod I've been working on off and on for a while, well, I've figured out my back story, got a working version of the .dm file, using pictures from the game and copyspr command, and in this version, where it was only for my own use, a few pictures hijacked from other mods.(Before I distributed it I would create pictures of my own, or get permission.) Anyway, the mod is a MA nation related to Caelum, Harabatia, that turns the Raptors into a complete nation without the standard Caelum stuff.
The Problem: I attempted for the first time to create a picture of my own, or rather, edit a vanilla picture, the arcoscaphalean elephant, anyway, I got a screenshot of the unit screen, edited out everything but the elephant pic, set it to 128 x 128 pixels, black background, magenta shadow, spliced in wings on the people and saved it in TGA format. However, when I included the new picture file in the .dm, suddenly the game started switching out the unit! When I reference it by the unit #(whatever number I use) it loads a blank infantry unit with no name, when I reference it by the name "Raptor Elephant Riders" it loads an MA Pythium Serpent Lord (everything, stats, etc). I attempted disabling other mods didn't help, attempted saving it without any compression didn't help. I'm out of ideas, and finally relented and decided to post a question instead of remaining totally anonymous. Any ideas? (I'm using GIMP 2.6 to edit the picture)
