Issues with unit file

[lance68har]

I hope this is the right place to ask this. I've been messing around for a couple days trying to get my unit file to work properly. I'm thinking it's messing something up with the color scale, as some of the units I put on there are for ToT. Is there any easy way to convert? I've tried GIMP and IrfanView 64 and neither have worked. I have attached a copy of the unit file and posted an image of what it's making my game look like. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Keep in mind that MGE is composed of only 256-color palette, so if you force anything beyond that you'll get distortion as a result. Units meant for TOT consist of deeper colors so the only way around this is to downgrade it to 256-color. If you use GIMP, just open original Units.gif/cities.gif/icons.gif that is original 256-color palette and paste stuff there it will automatically downgrade. You should also export your files in gif rather than bmp. Replace your bmp with gif one I uploaded and let me know if it works.

That file worked perfectly thanks! I had tried to change the palette to that in GIMP, but I'm not super familiar with the program, so may not have been doing it correctly. Thanks again!
