Hey guys, wow I havn't been on this forum in ever. So yeah, I'm going to re-try some scene making. I already tried to make a few things using various programs such as paint, but you can't get smooth lines and theres an awful zoom. Then I tried using what other programs I had. ( Flash 8 ) It worked good, I could make smooth lines and zoom in a good way, but whenever I exported the BMP it would be some random shade of brown or pink >.>". I eventualy got it to export my first test with no really odd colours but I had DEFAULT plastered all over the map where the ground shold have been. (I had fun lagging the game with that for a bit)
So what I'm looking for is another painting program. Can anyone reccomend something? I'll take nearly anything at this point. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Picturez of teh map.

Note: Its not finished thats just some of the underground blending(ish) done also, its not going to be that tall in the end...

I quite like it.

King of the hill? Anywho I like it, nice details.

Its still not done, nowhere close. I need a better proram for editing... I should probably PM Tim, when I used to be "Active" he was the king of scenes.

Uhh maybe that is because the bitmap depth you selected did not support those colors?

I fixed that in the end, but still whenever I try and use it it is plastered with DEFAULT. Also, the largest size I can make a map with Flash 8 is 2880 x 2880. Which sucks Any recomendations anyone?

Sounds like the problem you have is the palette. It's not enough to just make it a .bmp, sometimes programs secretly blend colors and stuff, so what you have to do is take something like PromGrounds.rte/Scenes/PromGrounds.bmp and paste your image into that, and then save it. It should force all the colors into the right palette, and you'll be good to go.

Thanks Tim, but I still think I need something better then Flash for editing photos. (Flash is ment for animation not making graphics)

EDIT: Well yeah, I DL'd Photoshop 3 trial to test it, got a little further, (Completely restarted it pretty much) but for somereason I can't export or save as a BMP >.<"""
That a big piss off.

Does anyone know if CC will take any other compression then .BMP? Such as .Png or .Tiff 'cause thats what I'm stuck with. >.<"
Sorry for double post.

No. Only .bmp. But you should be able to convert them easily...

Using what, might I ask.

MSPaint. That's what I use. Edit->Paste From...

Kay, thanks.
EDIT: BLAH, I tried the paste from thing and I got an error :

I tried to add a .png over promgrounds.bmp .png is the only actual photo type I can export as and earlier you said to paste over promgrounds.bmp or something to fix the blending.

You have to save. Don't Save As. It's a special kind of .bmp, and saving it as a regular 256 color .bmp will break it.

You could also give me the image, and I'll fix it for you.

I ment I saved it in Photoshop as a .png and now paint can't load it, but windows viewer can, here see if you can load it in paint.
Noe: Its still not done, I just badly want to test it.
