I am working on a mod that includes a flintlock pistol, and the .ini for the pistol is all good. The sprite needs some work, but it's basic shape and colors have been defined. The only problem is, when I try to run Cortex Command with the mod, I get an error saying that it can't locate the sprite file. I checked over everything time and time again, and nothing seems wrong. I remembered to put .bmp at the end of my FileLocation, and the sprite is a bitmap. I don't think you need to define sprites in the Index.ini, do you?

What exactly is the error? Do you have the right amount of frames made or did you forget to set the frames to 1 if you only have the one?

No, I defined the number of frames as 1, since it's just that sprite. Is it the name? Does it need to be Flintlock0000.bmp or something, despite the lack of multiple frames? Currently, it's just Flintlock.bmp.

No, as long as you have specified framecount to be 1 it doesn't look for the suffix.
Post the offending mod folder?

Sure. I just changed it a tad before I read your post, but the error is still there. I know the whole thing is a bit unorganized as well, but I am hoping to make it a lot larger.

It could be that your sprite isn't saved correctly, as in, the difference between a 24 bit bitmap and a 256 colour bitmap.

And, that would be the problem. So, it should be saved as a 24-bit bitmap? I wasn't sure, so I just went save as and slapped .bmp on the end.

Nope, 256 colours, as per the palette. Try to change it to this.

Alright, gotcha. Thanks guys! I'll try that, and see if it works.
