Arrrggghhh! Units_32.pcx is driving me nuts!

[Ed O'War]

Okay, I got the PediaIcons.txt file to work to use BlueO's powered armor unit. Now I'm trying to update the units_32 file. I was using MS Paint, but I realized that it was saving it as a bitmap instead of a PC Paintbrush. So, what program should I be using to edit the units_32 file? Hopefully it's something that comes with Windows ME. Is there a way to get Paint to save it as a .pcx file (and no, manually the .pcx extension doesn't seem to do it).

BTW, I was carefully to shuffle the settler, worker and army icons to the end of the file, so I'm pretty sure that's not it.

Again, I greatly appreciate any suggestions/help anyone can give. Thanks.

Unfortunately, none of the programs that come with Windows will let you edit/save .pcx files. You have to use a 3rd party application like Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop for that.

Okay, thanks. I guess I'll look for a demo version for one of those programs.
