I've added quite a few custom terrain graphics to my scenario, and I always see a black, vertical line on the left side of the graphic when I try to test it in the game. The graphics are in the correct format (I got some of them from the Louvre), so am I missing something? Is anybody else having this problem? -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

You probably have the graphics shifted a pixel to the right in the file then. Make sure there's no space between the black line and the edge of the image. -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Well, I checked and it's lined up correctly. There aren't any spaces where there shouldn't be. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. Posts: 4130 | Registered: Friday, March 26 2004 08:00 |

This sometimes happens if you have your monitor set to the wrong colour depth, or switch frequently between BoA and other applications. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

I've had that problem a few times with the Rakshasa graphic being displayed in combat mode. I always use all the correct settings when playing BoA, and almost never switch applications while it's running. I guess it's just one of those bizarre glitches.

So... I guess I should check for updates on BoA... Any other ideas? -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. Posts: 4130 | Registered: Friday, March 26 2004 08:00 |

If you're using Appleworks (on a Mac), you need to move the graphic all the way to the top left of the window in Appleworks before copying it, with no space, 0 pixels, between it and the top, and it and the left. Otherwise the problem you described happens. I have no idea why; Jeff told me this while ago when I was having the same problem. -------------------- Creator of the 3D Blades of Avernum Editor for Mac.
