Making new Pics

[MiguelOurense]

Hi!

I'm trying to improve some of the Spanish Tech Teams and adding new ones.
I have a problem with the pic. I've read that the only thing u have to do is save the pic in a 96x96 pixels and .bmp format. It's also said the color's scalade should be changed, copying the palette from some of the other pics. It's here where I get lose. How do I copy the vanilla palette and paste it in the new one?

thanks!

If you open up a DH Tech pic inside your Editor (GIMP?) you will see the properties you need to match.
I think your size is correct. You may need to have a 1 pixel white border, and 24 bit colour. Then make sure you test that pic in the game, to see it is working ok, and just copy the same setting thereafter.

Color tech teams is now accepted by the DH engine. Used to crash HoI2:ArmA. I know cause I un black-whited tech teams in my CG mod when I ported over.

Is it possible to do it from Paint¿?

Paint should be fine if you keep the image format (must open an existing image and save over it, so make a copy of an image, then open).

As Limith says: Paint is ok, but GIMP is free, so why not use that... it will give you so many other better options... as your graphics knowledge grows...

I dislike GIMP from a GUI usability standpoint. Paint.NET is a much better "free" alternative for windows users.

I tried the GIMP tool, as I didn't make friends with the paint. Now everything is fine and the pics are working correctly.

thanks to all!!
