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.

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 ...

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

he specifically says: "i have succesfully made sprites before, but for some reason, they do not work on my NEW MAC"

What program?
How is this mac different from your old? (Specifically OS, etc.)

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
