N00b in need of help with spriting
Ok, when I try to make any kind of sprite (with MSPaint) it becomes all blurry after I save it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, please help.
For a reference, this is how I sprite: I open MSPaint and make a very small picture (like 32x12 points or something) and fill it with the pink color I've noticed all sprites use as a background. Then I start to make the sprite point by point, and when I'm happy enough with the shading and stuff (I shade manually, dunno how to do it in any other way), I save it as a bmp in my pictures for later use once I find a undestandable tutorial on how to make HDFirearms.

Save it as a bmp and not a jpg?
Also, you are not a "n00b" nor are you "1nfernal". Leetspeak kills brain cells.

It'd be best to just edit an existing CC sprite and save it under another filename. That way you can be sure the palette's right.
(And what Grif said.)

Also, noob is 1337 speak and thus it's correctly written n00b and I thought Infernal would be taken when I joined the forums so that's why i go by the name of 1nfernal. What's done is done, live with it EDIT: Editing an existing sprite and renaming it worked, THANKS!

Nope. Newb = New person who is doing their best to improve. Noob = Person who's bad at something, won't admit it and believes he is right and the others are wrong.
I'm not calling you any of those.
@ Duh102, It's acceptable to put the rate of fire on a weapon as 1337 as an in-joke to whoever reads the .ini files. It's an okay rate of fire for miniguns and the like.

Delta, you are talking to Hard-Core internet veterans. We do not need a lesson.
Anyway, question answered, and topic locked.
