M1A1TC Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Hello I am trying to change the background mountains to high-res ones, but when I attempt to open the BMP in the Photoshop, I get an error message: "could not open the document because the file-format module can not parse the file" The only difference I see is that your BMPs are 32 Bit Depth, while the Photoshot saves BMPs in 24 Bit Depth. Help please? Also, whats up with the worldbox sky BMPs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwazydog Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Heya M1! Okay this one is a little tough as it opens fine for me, and as another artist did the origionals I cant comment on if they were saved using any different settings. Any chance you could try it on a different system, or is there anyone else here that could try and open one for us to see if they have any luck ? One though...if you can open under a different program and resave, I suspect all should be fine. Can you view them in any other applications?

M1A1TC Posted December 21, 2007 Author Share Posted December 21, 2007 Dan, thanks for the response. Here is what I did 1.I opened one in Paint, since it would not open in my Photoshop. 2.I then saved it as Jpeg 3.Then I opened it in Photoshop. 4.I skinned it, saved as BMP (same size, the only diff. is that's 24 Bit. I dont have an option to save it in 32 Bit format 5.I placed it in Z folder When I run the game, nothing changed. I do not know anyone else that owns CMSF personally, so I cant have any one test it on a diff system [ December 20, 2007, 08:51 PM: Message edited by: M1A1TankCommander ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TC Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 I tried opening Windshield, Fire, Smoke, Tracer BMP files, and I get the same error with my Photoshop "could not open the document because the file-format module can not parse the file" Please help? I guess it has something to do with Photoshop levels? I am using Photoshop 5.0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Steiner Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 M1A1TankCommander, You might want to try using Paint.NET, available from the link below: Paint.NET v3.20 It's free, powerful, fully-featured, and I have had no problems opening any of the files you mention using it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomm Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Try "The Gimp" (www.gimp.org) It is free and fairly powerful. There is also a collection of tools called imagemagick somewhere that can display a lot of exotic file types. Best regards, Thomm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it has something to do with Photoshop levels? I am using Photoshop 5.0 That is correct, I was able to open the skybox folder and select any mountain bmp with no problem using Photoshop 7.0. It would not work with 6.0 M1 you can try to send me the file you just made and I will see on converting it to 32bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A1TC Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Ok, thank you all, I am downloading those programs. I think I can also get a copy of Photoshop CS from a friend JohnO, email sent PS Hmm, when I try to open a file with Gimp, I get an error and it closes When I tried running Paint.Net it told me I needed some Net.Framework that I dont have. Sometimes I hate electronics [ December 23, 2007, 09:11 AM: Message edited by: M1A1TankCommander ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 the net.framework is a windows thingy. you get it where you get the windows updates. so its easy to get and safe to install. acually there are quiet some programms wich require this to be installed. i would get it anyways. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl Steiner Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Yeah, .net is harmless. I tend to think of it as Microsoft's version of the Java runtime library. It's just a load of library routines you install once so many .net enabled programs can access them. It keeps .net programs small. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
