I'm too stupid to make my own units_32 file (I try, 8-bit, 256 colour, etc, but it never works right!)

All I want is to add Kinboat's Jump Carrier to the other one I've enclosed in the zip file here.

It should only take a quick moment for someone who knows how to do it, and I'll be your new best friend :D

Please?

See? I can't even remember to attach the file!

check out my sig :)

But it doesn't have Balou's modern infantry, does it?

I downloaded yours (at least, I think it was?) and didn't see it there.

sorry, I thought all you wanted was to add the Jump Carrier ;)

I was going to wait until Smoking Mirror did his naval units, but I guess I'll just put a new version out anyway! :p

Good stuff, thanks.

updated the file :D

Dannyevilcat, here is your units_32 file with the jump carrier added.;)

you've broken the grid lines, I think it might cause problems

You're right Zulu9812. What dimentions should I be using to preserve the grid lines? Until now, I thougt the squares were 33x33. Nothing else seems to line up.

Ok, here's the fixed version.

32x32 pixels are the dimensions of each square

Thanks Zulu. I tried that in Paint Shop Pro, but for some reason, it doesn't line up. Back to the drawing board.:rolleyes:

If you're pasting as transparent, try pasting as new selection instead. Transparency doesn't really matter, and pasting the background as well as the foreground will help with positioning.

Thanks guys. I owe ya one :)

EDIT: I pasted the whole selection when I tried it. I tried converting it into a bitmap and back, and also tried cutting straight from .pcx to .pcx. But the file would always save a few KB's less than the original, even though it should be the other way around, and it just never works.

(It's my crappy graphics program. I'll start looking for a new one.)

Zulu, I set my grid guide in Paint Shop to 32 X 32 in the preferences section. I downloaded your units_32 sheet, but the grid lines don't match up.:confused: I checked "change grid guide properties" and it said 32 X 32 as well. What am I doing wrong? When I set it to 33 x 33, it lines up perfectly.

Okay, I think I found the problem. Everything needs to be set to inches rather than pixels, right? Making this change seemed to line everything up.

Now, the snap to grid won't work with everything set to inches, arrrrh!

dunno what to say really - I always work with pixels, the dimensions of each square on my icon sheet is 32x32 and I never use this 'snap to grid' thingy either...

Okay, thanks anyway zulu9812. I guess I'll just have to lean to get along without using the snap to grid.
