So I have converted a dds file to a bmp file using DDS Converter 2. I then attempted to mimick the color used for where player specific colors go (gray) and then place that color somewhere else using GIMP. I then converted the file back and ran the game. The problem is that once I added the gray spots, no player specific colors show at all on the unit. Where it should be is now just gray.

Any ideas?

My guess would be an alpha layer, which bmp files cannot handle, so it get changed to grey.

Ahh... so maybe I try JPG then?
