Okay, so I've read all the stickied threads in here and none of them address my problem, which is really a much more basic, rudimentary thing. Just to see if the sprites I've made work, before even renaming anything at all, I downloaded Azzuki's clone template, simply erased "Blue"'s images, and replaced them with mine. They all have the exact same names.
When I open CC, it tells me





I'm gussing the problem is that my sprites are slightly larger, but I've been going through the blue ini file and I can't find a value that would make up for that. Help please?

I don't understand what your problem is?

sorry, heh, forgot that part.

Original post edited.

Check the file name.
Same name?
Try making a backup of it, copy a working Cortex Command image and name it Head.bmp and see if it can load that.

I did! I keep swapping out the head I made with the original one. CC accepts the head and just goes on to tell me the hand doesn't fit. If I replace everything, it works fine. If I upload the file, can you tell me what's wrong? I'm not asking you to do it for me - really I actually wouldn't want that. I want to learn.

I can have a look at it yeah.

Here it is:

Hmm scary, 2 other people are tracking the thread, downloaded it before me.

What are you making these with? I can't open any of the pedobear image files.

I didn't open any, but my file is set to preview pictures, so I saw that your sprites have the wrong colour for transparency, all except the head. Nice sprites btw, be sure to make a crotch-mounted weapon of some sort (Jokes, I'm not that pervy. Or am I?)

Bahhaha.
Pixen, then I made them into JPGs (I think), then I typed .bmp on the end. Now that I write that out, I'm kinda seeing the problem..
What should I do to these image files?





Right, I noticed the transparency problem and fixed the head for that. Shouldn't the head work at least?

And thanks! These are actually the first sprites I've ever made
Your suggestion is tempting...

NEVERMIND!

I just resaved the images in a different way and it works now. Works great now! Aren't they just adorable:




So yeah, still some problems, but there are other threads about solving this, I think. Thanks for your time, guys!

Actually, yeah, read a few threads - no idea how to make it work.

=/

Help again?

If it's with sprites, my only suggestion is DON'T USE PIXEN. When you close the file, Pixen optimizes everything. This can't be turned off. It means some colours change, and the whole sprite is put out of pallette.

♥♥♥♥!

On to look for another program, then.
I was really enjoying Pixen, too!

Seashore is giving me trouble, too.

WHAT DO MAC USERS USE?!
