sprites question
I've successfully made sprites many times before, but for some reason, sprites I make never load on my new mac. I use the cortex command palette, save them as indexed images, and convert them to .bmp files, but the game always says the "failed to load datafile object message" when I try and load them. As far as I know, this problem doesn't fall under any of the "typical spriting problem" categories, so I don't really know what to do. I've never had trouble with indexed sprites before, so I don't really know whats wrong. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: sprites question
Make sure the "FilePath" it's correct and fix "FrameCount" EX:
You have two sprites for one pistol: PistolA000 and PistolA001 , so the weapon have two framecounts and bla bla bla ...

Re: sprites question
I know the filepath is correct and I'm testing this on unanimated sprites.

Re: sprites question
Its a mac version 10.6.3, I think my old one was 10.4.2. I've used gimp on both of them and both .aco and duh 102's gimp palette files.
CCNewPlayer: No, I use "/", I never use "\" for filepaths, or anything for that matter
