lol wildthing thanks for completely taking over the thread
btw im new but i aslo noticed your p51bmp is 256x128 is that right?
the bmp im editing at the moment for 190s is 256x256x256 when i edited it first time it saved as a 256x256x16million
which is why TE crashed.
well ive also used pokies map and without adding my edited bmps i built is in TE and the res file was created fine.
when i then added my texsrc folder with my 3 edited files(190a5.bmp, tail.bmp, spiral.bmp) and then tried to open skin and build it it crashed(performed illegal operation) o this imediately points to a problem with my bmps even though ive tried my damndest to fin out what i cant find it.
they are exactly the same size as the old originals etc and they look ok but i cant get it to work.
Pokie or dux could you do another picture for me or even better send me the completed res file for AH so i can fly it? heres my edited bmps
