17 October 2005 07:58 (UK time) I've been scouring the internet for a free program that edits PCX files (since Meteor 2 doesn't seem to let me actualy draw the frames) and haven't turned up anytyhing. I am wanting to work on a full mod, but I am not sure how to make my own gaphics since I can't seem to work with PCX files in my computer. Know any good apps to download? Please provide a download link. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

Or, The Gimp (a freeware programs that works like photoshop), can create PCX's itself, and is very powerfull. IMO, its better than photoshop in some ways. You can get it at http://www.thegimp.org . If that doesnt work, just try searching for it at Google. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

17 October 2005 23:40 (UK time) Yes, indeed, what I do is make the PCX with <a href=http://www.download.com/The-GIMP/3000-2192_4-10411405.html?tag=lst-0-1>GIMP </a>and convert it with <a href=http://www.download.com/IrfanView/3000-2192_4-10387524.html?tag=lst-0-1>Irfanview </a>because if you save the PCX with <a href=http://www.download.com/The-GIMP/3000-2192_4-10411405.html?tag=lst-0-1>GIMP </a> it antialises it, which messes up the edges of the sprite completely.

If I'm making an icon, I use MS Paint and stick them together with <a href="http://216.194.80.162/download/babarosa.exe">Babarosa Gif Animator</a> by <a href="http://www.liatro.com">Liatro</a>. Nice way to make icons since it supports *.jpg *.bmp *.pcx and many other! You need to login to create posts in this thread.
