Alright, I have a copy of BoE on the Mac. I have no idea how to convert .bmp's to .meg's. I downloaded ResEdit, but it does not open. Can someone help? -------------------- "Let us see what the new day brings." - Temas, Areni. Visit my realm! Rate My Scenarios!

ResEdit won't work on newer systems. You need a newer application, such as ResFool. -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

You could also try Graphic Converter, saving as Pict in Resource. -------------------- Barcoorah: I even did it to a big dorset ram. New Mac BoE Posts: 1798 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

*sigh* I've tried using Graphic Converter, doesn't work. The .pct's the game doesn't read. I can't figure out how to use the other programs. Hopefully I can figure it out soon so that I can play. Thanks anyway. [ Sunday, July 08, 2007 19:22: Message edited by: BainIhrno ] -------------------- "Let us see what the new day brings." - Temas, Areni. Visit my realm! Rate My Scenarios!

.meg is Jeff's invented format, which is why you won't find any official reference to it in other programs. Have you tried renaming the file you get from Graphic Converter to have a .meg extension? -------------------- 5.0.1.0.0.0.0.1.0... Posts: 508 | Registered: Thursday, May 29 2003 07:00 |

It appears that a .meg file consists of a file containing a single PICT resource, numbered 1. (I just made a cursory inspection, and did not test anything with BoE itself, just so you know.) So, you could create one either by pasting an image into a PICT resource in Rezilla and change it's number to 1 (if it isn't already). You could also use Graphic Adjuster, Resourcerer or some other program just as well it appears. Graphic converter will not work, I think, as it gives the resource a funny number (128 or something), which would need to be corrected using one of the other programs anyway. -------------------- Überraschung des Dosenöffners!

.bmp files can be opened with Quicktime (or Preview, for example). Sometimes the picture has to be shown in its right size when you copy it. Open Rezilla, make a new resource map (named ___.meg) and paste. If there are other resources than ones named "pict", I'd remove them. Select the pict resource, "get info" from the menu and change ID to 1. [ Tuesday, July 10, 2007 14:09: Message edited by: *Milu* ] Posts: 77 | Registered: Sunday, July 10 2005 07:00 |

Argh, something must be wrong with my copy. I've tried that, but every time I try to paste a PICT into Rezilla, it "unexpectedly quits!" I'm confident it would work if not for that...
