Title: Red Box Syndrome
Post by: Dio on March 23, 2014, 04:38:48 PM

I am attempting to add a technology .pcx to the game. However, this keeps appearing even after I follow the instructions exactly in BUncle's tutorials on how to fix the transparency issue with faction.pcx's. Could someone either explain how to fix this issue or make it possible to get the .pcx file to work properly in the game. Attached below is a copy of the pcx file and a screenshot of the image.

That's a good-looking symbol. ;b;

I'm running on a guess, which involves the palette not being the same for every art category.  The ter1.pcx, for instance.  -So I made a blank tech square in Photoshop CS, which takes care of palette issues automatically, out of the original tech087, and pasted in your design and saved.  If tech087b.pcx works, use the blank attached below next time.

Thanks for the help BUncle. Here are another two logos I have made. In addition, any potential logo ideas for techs 24, 70, and 75 (Inertial Damping, Global Energy Theory and Sentient Econometrics/Sentient Ecology) would be greatly appreciated.
