Just wanted you to know that I managed to use this guide to successfully install the building to PTW ( i don't have Conquests). Cheers for the well-written help!
That works great, thanks for your tutorial.
I have recently been working on Art\resources.pcx with Irfanview and saving the pcx palette and then re-importing this same palette when finished. this solves the purple blotch problem. for some reason importing the palette drastically reduces the pcx file size as wellIrfanView is a crazy bugger at times. I think I figured out this aspect, however. (Note my post was made in 2004. That was a good year. I've had time to hash it out, apparently!)
Basically for IrfanView, it helps to simply save the Pallette (Export it from the Image menu bar) to a folder - probably the folder for the type of thing you are working on (buildings, units, etc.). Saving this Pallette BEFORE you edit the units_32.pcx file is essential.
Then, after you are done copying and pasting your unit images to the PCX file, then Import the saved Pallette that you saved in your folder. Now save the file. Things should work fine after that. (For this anyway!)
Thanks, fellas.
