New GRF Help!
Posted: 05 Jun 2019 12:05
Hi all.
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post or whether it would be better in tech discussion, but...
I am currently working on my first ever New GRF but I have a little problem... I can't get it to compile! I am coding in NML and using the nmlc tool to (attempt to) create the .grf file.
So far, all the coding errors that have come up on compile I have been able to fix, but it keeps throwing up a "Cannot identify image file" error. The only time I was able to get it to compile successfully was when out of frustration I made the entire .png file "transparent" blue.
I created the PNG in Paint.net (using the right colours in the DOS palette) but after realising it couldn't create the required paletted file, I downloaded GIMP and the DOS palette for it. I then imported my PNG file into GIMP and converted it to indexed. For the life of me, I just can't figure out what's wrong with it!
I have attached the PNG file if anyone has any ideas!
Thanks in advance for any insights!
