Well I was able to modify a portrait frame by frame and was able to put it back into the mpq and convert it to an exe, however when I actually start to play. The unit's portrait is just a glitched up static frame. Does anyone know what caused this, something tells me it's a newb mistake...



None.

I think you're going to have to provide some more information before we can help.
Possible problems include incorrect file paths, file names, file format, (for the portrait) etc.

Okay lets see...
I'm editing the Ghost portrait. I've modified the portraits and converted them back to .smk and then back into animations.
Right now I have them in the MPQ as
portrait\tghost\TGhFid00.smk
portrait\tghost\TGhFid01.smk
portrait\tghost\TGhFid02.smk
portrait\tghost\TGhFid03.smk
portrait\tghost\TGhTlk.smk

When I play them in smacker, they work fine. When I put them into the MPQ and run the exe, I just get glitchy static portraits.

Do they use the proper palette file?

The exported smk files will already have it. Just make sure you don't change the palette of the source images.

Okay I thought I fixed it since I noticed the colors changed, but it still doesn't seem to work. Can you be a little more specific? I'm curious if I'm doing this wrong.



None.

As long as the palettes are the same, it should work ... I've never had a problem.

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating
