Trouble with importing charecters

[Middo]

 :'( I've been developing a game and I tried to import a charecter. I drew the loops in Windows Paint (.bmp) and when I tried to import it, It wouldn't let me because it wasn't the right format, what should I do? :'(

What color depth is your game? If it's 8-bit the sprites have to be 8-bit too.
If the game  is 16-bit the sprites must be 8-bit or 24-bit and if it's 32-bit the sprites can be 8- 24- or 32-bit...

It's 256-bit (I think that's 16-bit in my AGS options.) But what I meant was it wasn't (.pcx) or whatever the format was. Any help on that?

4-bit=16 colours
8-bit=256 colours
16-bit=65536 colours
32-bit=4294967296 colours

You are using 256-color mode. I suggest that you go to "Palette", click on [change game colour dept] and select 16-bit. Then go to the sprite manager and try importing the sprites again.

Edit: Wait...  i just realised something.. did you go to "characters" and clicked on [import character]?

import Sprites in the Sprite Editor pane
set the frames to loops in the Views pane
set the views for the character in the Characters pane
