Title: Invalid Image Format
Post by: SuperPhillip on May 28, 2007, 11:47:12 PM

This message popped up when I tried to do a test play.

What's wrong?

It must mean the title screen is not a PNG or XYZ image.

Change it, then try again.

If it's not the title screen thats the problem, it's something in game that's at the start.

BMPs will also work.

In the event that that isn't the problem, then you issue is either A: your image is to big to import correctly or B: your image hasn't been converted to 256 colors.

This error occurs no matter what map I choose to start my test play session.

^The error occures before you can even acess the map you're using to start your test play, which means that the problem is just like Dragoon said:

It doesn't matter what map I choose though, it's all of them.
I haven't had this problem until yesterday either, and I haven't added anything new recently.

I...huh... ok, what I meant is we're both suggesting it has nothing to do with the maps you're using, the error (probably) has to do with the title screen. So, what map you choose is not relevant, because the problem is not there.

I'd say you check your title screen image and the system graphic you're
using, try re-importing them. Did you add any files to the game without using the Resource Manager (for example, just copy+ pasting all the files into the project folder), because that usually leads to problems like that with the image sooner or later.

I've been saving all of my sprites and maps into the RTP folder.
Is that all right?

^That may be your problem, right there. If you do things that way, you're bound to get some errors sooner or later. Like I said in the other topic: delete all your custom resources from the RTP and save them somewhere else, then import them one by one.


Try doing that and see if it solves the problem.
