Hello, I'm fairly new to modding and its going great but I have a little problem with .PCX to .SHP. The problem is that my image disapears and the funny thing is it doesn't do it with all my ".PCX to .SHP" conversions. I wanted to insert a new Hind transport cameo but when I convert it I get a 32 byte file that doesn't contain an image....I'm using XCC Mixer 1.42. I hope that someone can help me out here....

Send me the cameo, both .pcx and the corrupted .shp file. fsxserver[at]yahoo[dot]com

EDIT: is this for RA2, YR, or TS/FS; since you didn't state it.

The PCX should be named filename[space]0000.pcx
The source image should be 8-bit (256) color
Make sure 'split shadows' is off, else you'll get a 2-frame cameo.

@Cannis
I thought the filename had to be filename0000.pcx, no spaces, it's been a while though, so I am probably wrong.

So thats my problem the source is a 24-bit image... Is there any way to convert this?

BTW it is for RA2

What image editor are you using? (Please, please, don't say MS Paint)

Or you could use the SHP Builder.

Let him answer, if he has PSP or PS, he's better off with that, because you can make better cameos with layers.

I'm sorry to inform you that I indeed used MS Paint... :S and IrfanView to convert...
Told ya I was new to this....
