Geez, I haven't logged into this board in over a year; it's a miracle I still remember my login.
It's been just about as long since I fired up BUILD, and I'm amazed I still know most of the keys (all of the tags, SE functions, etc., however, are lost to my memory).
Well, anyway... I have had a little problem with editart for years that I've never been able to figure out. I can't get it to sucessfully import any .bmp's or .pcx's (the image comes up horribly distorted, somewhat like when you try to use a texture on the floor in Build that's not a multiple of 8 in size). It would seem to me that editart just doesn't like the way a file is saved with other graphics programs. I can export a tile from editart and bring it back in no problem, but if I take that file and then save it with a program like PSP or paint--without making any other changes--editart can't bring it up properly.
I'm pretty sure the palette is unchanged (although I don't know about the pink/transparent color). I've checked all of the file format/version options, so I'm wondering... is editart picky about the program you save it with? If so, what will work? If that ain't it, what is the problem and how the heck do I fix it?
