Hey all i love the look of this new 32bpp graphics for teh best game ever! :D

But i am having problems :oops:

After hours of looking at how to make it work i am stuck

I have all the correct things installed/downloaded now but i get lost when the files (tars) are downloaded where do i put them?

In the data folder i gather, but they are all the same name or just png files.... please can some one be kind enough to give me a full rundown :)

Thank you in adavance

Cypher

You don't extract the tar archives. You just put them in the right place (data directory).
What do you mean with "they are all the same name"?

edit: are you trying conventional 32bpp graphics, or the "extra zoom level" patch?

If they are .png files in a .rar archive, they are not coded yet but just posted by the artist so someone can code them.

Read carefully what you download! If it's only the sprites posted by the artist, it still needs to be coded using PNGCodec
Coded sprites are usually shipped in a .tar archive. Those archives you just put into the data folder, without extracting them.

Here's a list of coded 32bpp graphics ready to use:
