Vincenzo21 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hello all I am re skinning the US and the British Paratroopers and every skin I make it all turns out light blue or light green in game. I have made lots of skin for other games and never had this problem. I am using Gimp if that helps not shore what is going on or what to do next. Thanks Vincenzo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 If you can make the uniforms and faces more female as well, we could have a unit of schoolgirrrrls armed to the teeth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Grey Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 The only thing I can think of right now is that you might have doen your textures with the wrong color depth? Have you tried different settings? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hister Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 That happened to me when I had two same textures in the Z folder in different subfolders. try checking if something similar happened to you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus Sertorius Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I am using Gimp if that helps... I'm 100% positive this is a quirk of the color mechanism in GIMP. Whenever I use GIMP I get exactly the same result; some of the colors are blue-green. It's simple to fix. Just open the images with another editing program, make an insignificant change to the color, then resave. I have a 10-year-old version of Photoshop I use for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Grey Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 You should be able to open those BMPs with ordinary Paint sicne they're ordinary BMPs. Do that, resave them and see what happens. I suspect Gimp doing something funny with the color settings which screws the settings for CM... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus Sertorius Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 FWIW, it happens all the time with the OSX version of GIMP. I should try using the Windows and Linux versions of GIMP and see if I still get the blue-effect. What version of GIMP are you using, Vincenzo? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hister Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Again, check if you don't have any doubled texture files - maybe you expanded main game files or left any mod? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincenzo21 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Again, check if you don't have any doubled texture files - maybe you expanded main game files or left any mod? yeah I have checked over and over nothing, its probably a problem with Gimp so ill just get Photoshop. Can someone give me the link to the right Photoshop that I need thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshoot Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 If you have been using Gimp, you might like to try Krita out (it is free) - http://krita.org/ If you want Photoshop, the latest version is CS6. You can either buy it outright or rent it on the Cloud. I believe future versions will only be available on the Cloud. There are legacy versions of Photoshop CS2 kicking around as well. Last year Adobe 'sort of' released it as freeware. I'm not sure if you can still get it straight off Adobe's site (try to make your own ID at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?pid=4485850&e=cs2_downloads ) but you can get it elsewhere (e.g. http://www.techspot.com/downloads/3689-adobe-photoshop-cs2.html - but please do your own checking to make sure this site is safe). CS2 should be more than good enough to do textures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 There are legacy versions of Photoshop CS2 kicking around as well. Last year Adobe 'sort of' released it as freeware. Just to clarify there is no sort of about it. They did *not* release CS2 as freeware. What they did was release a version without DRM for use by those legally entitled to do so. In other words those that already had a license are the ones that are allowed to use the version without DRM. They did that so the could honor the life time license that those customer's bought and at the same time decommission their DRM servers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus Sertorius Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 yeah I have checked over and over nothing, its probably a problem with Gimp so ill just get Photoshop.As I said, it's definitely a quirk with GIMP, but dumping GIMP over this is overkill, IMO. GIMP is really good and getting better all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIMP is really good and getting better all the time. I am still going to keep GIMP to mod other games but I need Photoshop for this game. Just another question with this game, when making new textures do I save it when done or export? (I don't think export because its already bmp, but just to be shore) Thanks for the help 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus Sertorius Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 ...when making new textures do I save it when done or export? Save will create a GIMP project file, which includes all layers and things like that. Export is what you want to use to make a .bmp file. If you're working directly on a .bmp file you've opened, there's an option to overwrite it next to Export. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agusto Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Artweaver is a free more-or-less photoshop clone. On machines where i dont have photoshop available i use it for creating 2D game graphics., it is quite good IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus Sertorius Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 There's also Paint.net if you're using Windows. Not a bad free program. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I like Paint.net as well but it does not support 32bit bitmaps (with an alpha channel). I have been dabbling with some icon work and found GreenFish Icon Editor and I am very happy with it for doing this work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
