You need to pass them to pcx format with XCC Mixer, look here for a full instruction on that program

thanks argcmdr. im also reading your tutitoral on placing buildings in FA2 and there are a few things that aren't clear.{1} Copy all the entry[section]. do i copy everything thats related to that building, for example the buildings name is civbank so do i copy this from the structures and the buildings section? {2} After that, type the following: [BuildingTypes] X=NEWNAMEOFSTRUCTURE Change the header name of the section you just pasted to suit your likes. Now replace with that name the above NAMEOFTHESTRUCTURE X is the next free number in the list in rules.ini. Use 1000 if you want. Where do i put this, in the map or in the rules? the building im trying to place is the bank building you made for the civilian pack.{3}what is the header?
