Use PSP if you can get it. It's simple to use, has a 30 day free trial and can save reliably in pcx. I use it for all my graphics work.

You might also want to get hold of [URL=http://www.irfanview.com/]IrfanView[/URL] even if you do get hold of PSP as it will do the conversions for you much more easily than PSP.

And if the download it too much you could always check game mags as they generally have some kind of paint program on their demo discs.

PCX
Hi y'all first post here (yah)...
I managed ti rip some cool images from Bridge Commander and open them in ACDSee 4 (trial Version). I cropped what I needed and then resized to 256x256 pixels. Then I changed color to 256 and then saved as PCX in the Effects folder. I changed the Stars.tlb in table folder and this is the result...

I've hit a new roadblock. I've been trying to create a 'better' tornado - one that fires six missiles instead of four. However, I have hit a fairly bizarre problem:
The tornado tbl does not feature a "swarm" tag, and if I try to add one I essentially get a green tailed hornet missile - the simultaneous fire of the tornado vanished.
Anyone had the same problem?

So, do you know what's going on? Is it some kind of hidden tag, or is it some weird, unexplained thing that would melt your brain if you ever knew it?
