Textures on Paint Shop Pro

[Dunenewt]

I downloaded PSP recently to try and make my own textures but everytime i do they come in in the wrong colours. E.G: I made one texture gold but when I looked at in the game it appeared purple.

How do I make textures in PSP? Don't you have to save it as a special type of TGA?

I once had psp and another program, i did all on psp but i used the other program to make it TGA and then removed some info using psp.. that way all worked fine... but now im using psp 8.1 which costs money.. but i didnt pay for it ::) my warez sites give me all i need :D ::) 8)

Thats what I've done

I think they have to be 32-bit... or maybe it was 24.

24 bit. Icons need to have RLE compression enabled, but I don't think textures need it.

They do and yes, it's 24 bit. But then I don't think you have an option *not* to RLE compress it in PSP. Maybe you do in newer versions though.

Is this the problem whereby icons turn red? (I remember coming across it years ago)

Try all possiliblities of compression: 24 bit is definitely it.

All textures must have 24-bits compression indeed. Except for the House Crests, they are 32-bits (otherwise you won't get a transparent background)

But if you just copy all the original texture files, and edit those, and just use save, then you should have not to worry about what kind of compression it is. PSP will probably stick to the original compression type of the texture.
