Help a Noob
Hey Guys,
I have tried all kinds of things; it seems a lot of the files in the file centre are old and possibly incompatible with new software. I'm not sure.
I'm trying to create very simple "Tokens" for use in my mod.
In short I am using photoshop and I have tried to load the photoshop ACT pallet which does load up. I am creating the inventory item and when I add this in game it scrambles in to a straight up mess!
Does anybody have any up to date guides/tips on how to create new item graphics using an up to date image editor?
Alternatively if anybody is bored and wants to make a handful of tokens for me give me a shout! (I hate graphics!)
Regards,
Kieran

Re: Help a Noob
Did u apply the Pal while rendering the Image to a .bmp 8bit file? Let me know if u using Photoshop or Gimp and i can tell you how to do.

Hi JP,
My brother made a token for me using photoshop and saved it as a pcx so I could convert it using dc6.
I think we were both a little confused on the whole pallet thing

Re: Help a Noob
So what I have tried is;
Create a new 28x28 pcx image.
Only using the d2pallet created an image.
Converted using dc6con.
Placed in game.
Unfortunately this scrambles the image in game.

I always save the image as bmp 8bit
then I always load the units pallet in the Dc6 maker 3

Re: Help a Noob
Really how so? I've created heaps of item images using this method
Re: Help a Noob
You tried using the items in all acts? Act 1 mostly show everything correct, act4 and act5 {filtered} them up sometimes. Also, were u got the images from? Most problems come with darker colours which gets converted in a {filtered} load of Pixels or just get transparent (if u have a clean/standart inventory, u don't see it there). If added over 100 new images to my mod with this method and just saw in the end, that they look bad mostly in act5.Hodor" wrote:Really how so? I've created heaps of item images using this method
Re: Help a Noob
I'm viewing the token simply by akara selling it so it's act1.
My images are freshly created by me but still scramble.
