Simple solution. Have you set the IWAD in XWE to "srb2.srb" (located in your SRB2 folder) yet?

That explains what an iwad is

Um, you're also going to have to make the background cyan (color #00FFFF) in your MS Paint file.

Ah... I'm not an XWE user, but I've heard that many problems have been solved by running XWE as administrator.

Sigh, not this again, give me 5 mins and ill tell you how to set srb2.srb as the iwad

EDIT = ok to change the iwad open the xwe config file then scroll to the bottom until you see something like this

(TOOLS)
;
; Feel free to change these
; XWE will ask for location or find the file automatically

MainWAD,C:\Users\Silent Snipe\Documents\srb2\,srb2.srb
;MainWAD,C:\Doom\DOOM2\,DOOM2.WAD
Run Map,C:\Doom\ZDooM\,ZDOOM.EXE
Nodes Builder,C:\Doom\TOOLS\ZenNode\win32\,ZENNODE.EXE
Action Script Compiler,C:\Doom\builder\,ACC.EXE

;MainWAD,C:\Doom\Others\Hexen\,HEXEN.WAD
Midi2Mus Utility,C:\Doom\TOOLS\DeePsea\,MIDI2MUS.EXE

Change the part that i put in bold to where your srb2 iwad is and that should fix the problem, also dont forget to save it.

Also, is the sprite saved as a bitmap?

Thx, i know what to do now, but my stupid windows doesnt show the xwe folder in "all programms". I started a search too, but i didn't find anything. Do you know where to find this folder?

Only thou knowest the answer to thy question, because you installed it, dummy. :P
I'd guess in C:\Program Files\XWE or something along those lines, if you're in WinXP.

 

[Jewel the Mystery]

hahaha...^^'

well, i did everything you said, told xwe to change the iwad to the srb2.srb file, but nothing happened! Do i have to make a folder for xwe with its config file etc?

I just noticed, each of those sprites has a slightly different design...

 

[Jewel the Mystery]

Now it works, i made a folder for it. But now i have another problem: I wanna make a wad of my dog. The most of the sprites are finished yet. But 2 pics (i edited them from photos of my cam) aren't show in the game, they are yust little blue... things -.-
