How can I merge the resources.pcx and the units_32.pcx using paintshop pro 7?

[Sharon]

Does anyone know a method to merge the resources.pcx and the units_32.pcx files into a single sheet using paintshop pro 7 or any other image editing software and/or tool?

I imagine you would open one, expand it's 'canvas', and copy the other into it.

That is correct.
The larger question one might have is, why would you want to combine the two? Are you going to animate recources? Or make units tradable?

 

[Sharon]

I just wondered if it would look strange. How does merging the two make units tradeable or animated?

 

[Azmorg]

Merging the two in and of itself does not animate or make tradable.
But if you put resources into the units_32.pcx file, that is the file that produces the images in the build queue in the city screen, so you could conceivably have iron showing up for the picture of horseman. Of course, you would also have to change the image in the editor as well. The same holds true for units showing up as resources.

And yes, it would look strange.

Azmorg would you be able to merge the two if I send you the files? I'm now interested in using it as a resources.pcx.

If you really want the two fles merged, perhaps I will do it.
Send me a private message explaining what you are going to use it for.
The two images are different sizes, so it will take some work to merge them.
I'm not going to do it if I don't think it's worth it.
