Title: Disappearing sprites??
Post by: TheQisSilent on Thu 11/12/2003 04:47:50
OK, so I just made six frames of animation.  The first frame was imported successfully, but when I try to import the other five it always imports them as a blank picture, even though they work fine when I try to open them outside of AGS.  Is there any way I can fix this?

What file format are you using? Are you using some animating format? You cannot import frames from animating formats, you have to import the (still) pictures one by one.

I know this.  They're all seperate BMPs.

Hmmm what colour depth did you save those BMP as?

I bet they're the correct resolution and color, right? Are you working at 640x480 16bit colour? The same thing happened to me. Convert them to pcx. They'll work then.

All right, I found out what was wrong with it.  Thanks for your help, guys :)

AFAIK, AGS doesn't support 16 bit BMP importing. Use standart 24bit ones instead.
