Trouble with Unit Graphics

Still no luck. Could I have somehow saved my files from GIMP in a different .tga format?

I always save my Gimp TGAs in a folder, and then use IrfanView to open and resave them to the mod folder. I'm a bit hazy on the details, but I think Dominions had some trouble with the spesific type of tga files GIMP saved a year or two ago, when I started doing this.

I'd actually already dug up an old post you made about that and tried it. While I have discovered that I like IrFanView more, unfortunately it still isn't getting the files to work.

I use GIMP with no problems. Sometimes (generally when I've been using layers), Dominions for some reason shows all the black and pink instead of making it transparent. When that happens I have to copy and paste the sprite into a new image, then it's fine. However, I've never had a problem like you describe. Maybe try posting one of your sprites, and we'll see if we can reproduce the issue.
