Bitmap Too Large

[Evaders99]

Does anyone get this error when Saving and Loading DLL edits? As far as I can tell, my bitmaps aren't any bigger in filesize. If I load through ResHack, I get corrupted images.

No one.. bugger. I'll have to debug this myself. Wish me luck

Umm, you want to import the pictures with ResHack ?

I couldn't do this as well, this way.

The one thing that works the fastest way for me is, loading the pic in RebEd's DLL Entries part.

 

Another option, although more time consuming, would be creating a script file for ResHacker and running that from the command-line. But of course the amount of work for that would only be justifyable for a whole set of pics.

 

Btw, that's the same technology I used in that beta program, that I sent to you and a few others for testing. Did you get that email ? If you got the time, try a few possible test situations and tell me, if it worked on your pc. That'll help me creating the final version

I've tried both ways - importing with a RebED Load Setting and ResHack script. RebED will error when I try to import the settings. ResHack will import them, but in Rebellion the pics end up corrupted. These are valid 256 color images.. so I'm not really sure what's wrong.

 

I'll just have to redo them and try again.

And they have the same palette as the original ones ?

I saved the palette with my paint progs, so I wouldn't have to copy the new ones over an original.

 

What pics are you trying to create, events ? Some of them have different resolutions, did you think of that as well ?

[Evaders99]

Yes.. I take the original bitmap and copy over with the new image. This keeps the same height, width, and palette.

 

Mainly I'm working on the interface - the images in common.dll

Hmm, I haven't edited these so far. But some of them I can't watch with ResHack, it gives me an access violation message.
