*sigh* help

[rocket]

im tired of asking for help ._.


ANYWAY, im trying to learn how to wad, so I was gonna make something quick to learn how, I ripped the sprites, and cut them, and gave them the color and such, but I have a problem, it does this: http://img300.imageshack.us/my.php?image=error4oe.png

help me, please


things ive checked:
I made sure it was 256
made sure the bg color was right (I took it from a sprite from the game to make sure)

note: its saved as .gif, if that makes any difference

Try making it a BMP or PNG, not sure if it will make the difference, but who knows?

I forgot to say that I tried that, it didnt work

Yeah, that happens if you try to import the image in a certain way I think. I know that the glitch has happened in the Freddie WAD, where there was a glitched sprite with the same error... I never really tried to resolve that issue. Sorry.

can you tell me how you normally do it?

You could just take the sprite you've already loaded, gray box and all, and then just tell XWE to remap the colors of the sprite to cyan for that gray color, and see if the end result doesn't wind up with cyan in Koopa's eyes or anything. It's how I did transparency for those Wolfenstein enemies from so long ago (which I really need to remake, seeing as free slots are open and everything).
